Thank you

On behalf of the staff, children and governors of Wookey Primary School I want to thank you for your support over the past 12 months. Although the pandemic is now firmly in the past I can confidently say that it made our school community stronger, and this has been particularly evident over the past few days with all the lovely feedback that has been passed on to the team here at Wookey School. It has been particularly rewarding to hear from some of our newer families about how their children have settled since joining us. We have also heard from those moving on about the fondness they have for our school. We are all looking forward to welcoming back those who are not moving on in September, for what I am sure will be another exciting year!

New Appointment

Unfortunately we had to readvertise for the teaching assistant post in Rowan Class due to circumstances beyond our control. I am pleased to inform you though that Mrs Julie Chadi will be joining our team in September as a teaching assistant in Rowan Class. Julie is currently the reception teacher in another local school, so we are very lucky to have her joining our team.

Goodbye Chestnut Class

Chestnut Class had a lovely time on their class trip to Puxton Park this week. It was a lovely way for them to celebrate their time at Wookey Primary School as it comes to an end. On behalf of the staff I want to say a huge thank-you to our leavers for being such positive members of our school community during their time with us. They have faced many challenges, always with a smile, and we will miss them all!

Mendip Explorer's Passport

Looking for something different to do this summer? Want to get outside, explore new places and discover new things? Then look no further. The Mendip Hills AONB Service have launched the Mendip Explorer’s Passport just in time for the summer holidays.

The passport will take you to eight locations across the Mendip Hills. At each location you will complete a mission, this can be anything from taking a photograph of something small and beautiful, to counting how many colours you can see in the rocks (spoiler alert- a lot more than you might think!). You can then complete your passport by finding a rubbing plaque of one of the creatures or plants that make the Mendip Hills so special. The passport contains everything you need to know, including information on car parking and directions.

The passport has been designed for single-sided printing on A4 paper. It can then be cut and assembled as a booklet (you will need some string). An assembly instructions page is included in the passport.

The passport is for anyone that wants to get out and explore, but it is particularly suitable for ages 4–11 years. Don’t worry if you don’t have time to complete the passport this summer, there’s no rush. The passport will still be available after the summer. Once you’ve completed the passport, please contact the Mendip Hills AONB team, we’d love to see your photos, and we will send you a certificate (contact details are included in the passport).
