Christmas is really beginning to get a grip at Atwood and this week we finished the week with everyone in Christmas jumpers for their Christmas lunch.
For those parents who will be applying for a reception place for their child for September 2026 we have arranged a series of visits so that they can look around the schools with senior staff.
If you wish to view a school please see here for the available dates. Obviously we have to limit numbers so only parents/carers who have booked will be able to attend.

Our Trust Staff Meeting at Cypress on Handwriting in the Early Years, for our Early Years and Year 1 practitioners, was a fantastic opportunity for the adults to have some fun, as well as learning some important pedagogy and practical ideas to teach this crucial life skill.
How odd! Today saw us celebrating our individuality by wearing odd socks and the children embraced this day in style.
What a busy couple of weeks it has been for the youngest members of the school since coming back after half term.
Yesterday, over 50 of our Year 1-4 children competed at the Croydon schools cross country event.
Year 3 have been really enjoying learning about dinosaurs in reading, literacy and thematic.
Atwood Primary School has an Ofsted inspection this week. We would appreciate it if families could complete the Ofsted Parent View questionnaire.
A shortened week this week means a shorter newsletter. However, just because we’ve only had three days in school it doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy.
