Nursery Bumblebees News
Welcome Back, Bumblebee Class!🐝
A huge welcome back to all of our Bumblebees! We are already one month into the school year, and I have been hearing lots of wonderful things from Mrs Hughes about how well you have all settled in and how hard you have been working.
I am now fully recovered from my knee surgery over the summer and am so excited to be back at school with you all. I have missed you and can’t wait to see everything you have been learning and doing.
We have lots of exciting things planned over the next few months as we explore our topic, “Our World.” We will be learning all about ourselves, our community, Autumn, Harvest, light and dark, Diwali, Bonfire Night, and, of course, all things Christmas!
Phew! It is going to be a very busy and exciting few months filled with lots of learning, creativity, and fun. I am looking forward to sharing it all with you.
As always, parents and carers, thank you for the continued support you give. Your encouragement and partnership make such a difference to the children’s learning and development, and it is greatly appreciated.
Here’s to a fantastic term ahead!

Platinum Award for Ruyton PE & Sport!
We did it! We are delighted to announce that Ruyton have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for another year!
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised again for our success.
Here are just some of the reasons we continue to achieve successive Platinum awards:
- 5 weeks swimming tuition for every child
- Passmaster Sports specialist coaching & clubs every week
- continued work on being an active school including all new play equipment, daily play times using our field space and weekly visits to our Forest School site in KS1
- a broad curriculum offer with including new sports, such as NFL, each year
- every child in KS2 with the opportunity to participate in sports competitions including cross country, tag rugby, athletics, netball, rounders – the list goes on!
- the inclusion levels we evidence at an inter and intra school participation level
- Qualification to county-level competitions including Rounders and Athletics, even though we are a small school
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport. Thank you to everyone involved in achieving this award – in particular Mr Matt Jones for all his parental support over the past two years. Go Team Ruyton!
