Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Next week sees the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan and so it is important that all parents understand the school’s responsibilities to those children who may wish to consider fasting.
Over the years, we have taken advice from a range of sources (Government, Local Authority and various Islamic organisations) and recognise that children under the age of 10 years are generally not required to fast but that parents/carers may request that their child in Year 5 or Year 6 take part in some fasting.
The school is happy to provide support for Year 5 and Year 6 pupils who wish to fast but needs to make clear its responsibilities, together with those of the parents/carers. Primary age children become very tired when they do not have regular meals and are sometimes unable to safely perform the activities expected of them during the course of a school day. Children in other year groups will not be permitted to fast on school days.
For parents of pupils in Y5 and Y6, we want to explain the procedures that will be followed to ensure the well-being of your child or children:
I hope that the above is clear, but please do not hesitate to contact a member of the school leadership or the school office if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
Mr A Beale
Head Teacher
Dear Parents, Carers and Pupils,
I am writing to let you know that after 11 years at Regents Park Community Primary School, I will be retiring as Headteacher on 31st August 2025.
Having led at Regents Park since May 2014, I am able to say that I am immensely proud of our school and to have worked within such a wonderful local community. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a hard-working and dedicated team of staff over the years and to have been supported by a superb leadership team and Governing Board.
I am very grateful for the support I have had from parents, carers and the wider community during my time at Regents Park – I know that you all want the best for your children and it has been a pleasure to work with you in achieving this.
Most importantly, I have enjoyed seeing the children of Regents Park develop and make progress over the last 11 years. Children at Regents Park achieve well and make excellent progress – this is not just seen in English and maths results at the end of Year 6, but also in the achievements they make in other areas of the curriculum throughout their time at Regents Park, e.g. sport, music, science, art, computing, or developing their confidence in speaking, social skills, caring for each other and the environment, etc. One of the best things as a Headteacher is knowing that children are happy, that they want to come to school and that they enjoy and want to learn new things.
It is going to be difficult to say goodbye to this wonderful school but, at the moment, that is still six months away and there is lots do before then!
After half term, the vacancy for the Headteacher position from September will be advertised and the Governing Board, supported by the Local Authority, will be responsible for the recruitment process. Hopefully a new Headteacher will be appointed by the end of next half term and I will keep you updated when I can about this. I am sure the school, under new leadership from September, will continue to be successful and go from strength to strength.
In the meantime, and until the end of the Summer term, I will endeavour to make sure the transition to new leadership takes place smoothly and with minimal disruption and will also continue to work hard with yourselves and the staff team to ensure all the children receive the best possible education and learning experiences we can offer in the coming months.
I hope you and the children all have a good holiday next week. Don’t forget that the children return to school on Monday 24th February at 8.40am and that we will be closed on Wednesday 26th February for a staff training day.
Kind regards,
Mr A Beale
Headteacher, Regents Park Community Primary School
