We are very much looking forward to welcoming you to our annual Sports Day event on Thursday 11^th June 2026.

All classes will be participating in a variety of events.

Timings for the day are as follows:

Years 1 and 2: 9.00am - 10.10am

Pre School 2026 Leavers and Reception Class: 10.30am - 11.35am

Years 3 and 4: 1.00pm - 2.00pm

Years 5 and 6: 2.00pm - 3.00pm

Parents are welcome to join us. The field will be open to parents and carers 5 minutes prior to the events starting, via the school carpark. Please drop your children off as normal and make your way around to the carpark using the external route. This will ensure the children can be registered and organised as usual and the school site secured.

Arrangements for Sports Day:

Please ensure your child arrives to school in their full PE kit on this day, including trainers.

Long hair will need to be tied back and earrings removed as they would for normal PE lessons.

Please provide your child with a named water bottle. The children will have access to refreshment breaks throughout the event.

Please put sun-cream on your child before school and ensure they have a sunhat – even if it looks overcast first thing. Likewise if it looks cool, ensure they have a sweatshirt.

Organisation of Sports Day:

Children will be taking part in both track and field events. All events will take place on the main field. There will be a roped off area in the centre of the field from which you can spectate/support your child/ren. Please help us to ensure the safety of all children by respecting this and support your children from this area.

We look forward to seeing you all at this year’s Sports Day.

Thank you to everyone who took part in our recent survey. Your feedback was invaluable in helping us understand how we can improve communication at Cromwell. Many of you expressed a desire for clearer updates about your child’s learning and suggested alternatives to Facebook for sharing information. We have listened carefully and, in line with other primary schools in the Trust, we will be moving our communication to Class Dojo. This platform will allow us to share important updates and give you a closer look at what your child is doing in school.

Why Class Dojo?
Class Dojo is a secure, user-friendly app designed to strengthen the connection between school and home. Through Class Dojo, you will receive:

• Instant updates on classroom activities and school announcements.
• Photos and stories showcasing your child’s learning journey.
• Direct messaging with teachers for quick communication.

To get started, teachers will be sending home QR codes that you can scan to activate your account. This process is simple and should only take a few minutes.

Please note: You do not need to purchase the paid version of Class Dojo. The free app provides everything you need to stay informed and engaged with your child’s education.

We are excited about this change and believe it will make communication more effective and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,

Louise Worrell
