WELCOME TO PATCHAM JUNIOR sCHOOL
Well, it’s been a bumper month of teaching, learning, performing and new experiences for many of us this March!
The children have been their usual industrious selves, working hard in lessons but also making the most of the myriad of opportunities on offer too. There’s been skateboarding, singing, dancing, sporting events, cup football, WW2 air raid shelter visits, residentials and visits from incredibly talented scientific professionals to name just a few. I don’t know about the children, but I am ready for a break to catch my breath and take some time to absorb what we’ve all been up to!
I was sorry to miss the Spring Music concert but thank you to those of you that came along to listen to our talented musicians. I heard that everyone was brilliant once again, thank you Mrs Bogaru and Miss Dell for your time and energy.
Please do enjoy this mega sized edition whilst you make the most of the Easter break. I hope that whatever you get up to, it’s delightfully sweet and enjoyable.

Admissions for September 2023
Dear prospective parents and carers,
If you are considering applying for a place at Patcham Junior School for September 2023 please be aware that the closing date for applications will be in January 2023. This needs to be done, even if your child currently attends Patcham Infant School.
We are currently planning to hold two open mornings on the 6th and 7th of October at 9.15am to ensure that you are as well informed as possible about Patcham Junior School. There is no requirement to book, simply just arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the start time.
If you are unable to attend one of the planned mornings, it may be possible to visit the school on another occasion, please contact the school office directly to arrange this.
Our website has lots of useful information, but If you would like to speak to myself or to one of the members of my senior leadership team about what learning is like at our school, then please do get in touch via the school office and we will be pleased to get back to you via email or with a phone call.
Alister Sutherland
Headteacher
