This week we have said a sad goodbye to Mrs Haworth and Bethany as they jet off to start a new life in Portugal. We are so grateful to Mrs Haworth for the amazing contribution she has made to our Nursery Class and we will miss them both very much!

Another half-term comes to an end at Hillside. It has been busy and fun-filled from start to finish. We have loved spending more time outdoors exploring our beautiful grounds in the sunshine. Lots of our pupils have enjoyed extra-curricular clubs, from gardening to sports, craft to games. A new set of clubs will be available to book on to from the second week back - all free and more details to follow.

A huge well done to our wonderful year 6 pupils who approached their SATs tests with an incredible attitude and a smile on their faces. We are incredibly proud of each one of you.

Next half-term, will see our year 1 pupils complete the National Phonics Screener reading check and our year 4s complete the National Multiplication check. Details of parent information meetings about these will be sent out shortly.

Thank you to all our families for choosing Hillside for your children and continuing to support us in providing the best education we can.

Running with Heart: A Pupil’s Inspiring Achievement

📢 Pupil Shoutout! 📢
We couldn’t be prouder of this incredible young man! Over the weekend, he took part in the Race for Life, completing a challenging 5K muddy course in just 36 minutes. Even more inspiring, he’s already raised an amazing £175 for Cancer Research! He truly embodies our ‘Show You Care’ value.
Well done — what a fantastic achievement! 🌟

Leaping, Learning, and Measuring Success

Year 6 enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon combining PE with Maths, as they practiced long jumps, measured distances, and collected data. A fantastic example of using maths in real-life contexts — well done, Year 6!

Academy Community Counil Update

Hello Everyone !

We've had a busy and exciting term, and we're thrilled to share what we've been up to!

Priority Plan: We've been working hard on our priority plan, focusing on three key areas:

Connecting with Parents and the Community: It was fantastic to meet so many of you at parents' evening. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat and fill out the homework questionnaire – it seems homework is a hot topic!
Focusing on the Children: We're making sure that the children's voices are heard in our discussions and decisions. We're really looking forward to meeting the pupil parliament in the summer term to hear their thoughts and ideas.
Staff Well-being and Attendance: A couple of our council members recently attended a staff meeting to listen to what's going well and what could be improved. We're committed to supporting our amazing staff.

Thank you to all the parents, students, and staff for your continued support. We're excited about the term ahead and can't wait to see what we can achieve together! If you have anything you’d like to share with the ACC, please contact Leyla Lindley at leyla.lindley@coopacademies.co.uk.

Enjoy a restful Easter break.
