• Keeping Fit at Cape!

  Fri 23 Feb 2024

  Over the half term holiday we have been lucky enough to have some new outdoor play equipment fitted. The equipment is gym style equipment that the children can use at playtime and lunchtime. We hope the children enjoy using the new equipment as much as they did when using the old play area!

• South Asian History Exhibition

  Wed 07 Feb 2024

  To celebrate the history of South Asia Mrs Squires has been organising some competitions and workshops for the children to complete either at home or during an after school workshop. The hard work has culminated in a wonderful exhibition of research, art work and enthusiasm from many of our children.

   

  For many of our children it is a celebration of their own culture and heritage and for other children it was finding out new things. The exhibition will be displayed for parents to see on learning together day and we are hoping to find a more permanent space to display everyone’s hard work.

  

• Measles Update

  Fri 02 Feb 2024

  MMR Vaccines:

  Parents will have seen that measles is on the rise in the West Midlands and in particular Birmingham and Sandwell. If your child has had both of their vaccines for MMR then there is almost no risk of them getting measles. If your child is not vaccinated then school would encourage you to get this done as soon as possible. You can book an appointment at an MMR pop-up clinic by calling 0121 592 1110

• Walk to School - Well Done!

• A lovely thank you!

  Fri 02 Feb 2024

  We received this lovely thank you message from the Smethwick Mosque for our recent Foodbank collection in school.

   

  On behalf of the FOODBANK at Smethwick JMA Trust on Windmill Lane, we just wanted to say a massive thank you and well done to all the children, staff and parents who donated recently.
  It really was a huge effort and has gone down fantastically with the clients we serve.

   

  Our food bank is vital for locals as it runs on a Sunday (whereas many food banks run midweek) so it makes it easier for many locals to collect.

  We have been running for nearly 3 years now, serving on average 30 families a week and have over 170 families on our books.

   

  We were overwhelmed with the school’s generosity and hope we can continue to work together in the future.

  On behalf all our volunteers, I would like to thank you once again.
