Two Important Things
Wed 05 Jan 2022We have enjoyed welcoming the children back to school this morning and everyone has settled into their classroom routines again.
I have two important messages to share.Firstly, we have started to spend our Covid catch up funding at the start of this term. The money is not huge and we have tried to target it at areas where children have shown gaps.
In Year 5 and 6 we are supporting maths by reducing class size. There are 6 maths groups in both of these years and we have organised them based on need. Most children are still with their class teacher, but a small number who are thriving with maths are being taught in 2 classes taken by Miss Gibbons and Mrs Norton.
In Year 4 we have created one extra maths group and in Year 3 an extra English group. Again, the children who are coming out of class are achieving well and we are looking to support them whilst leaving the class teacher with the majority of the children.
Children have started to attend these this morning and they may come home talking about them. We will contact families with details of this in the next few days, but we want to see how they settle before we make final decisions.
Please be assured that children have NOT been moved because they have a problem or we have a concern.
There will also be some very small group tuition for Y6 maths each afternoon. Again, once this has settled, we will contact the families concerned with the full details.
Secondly, please be aware of an inappropriate video that is circulating on social media. School firewalls will keep it out, but the video apparently shows an adult causing harm to himself and is quite distressing. I believe it is on TikTok, Twitter and other platforms.If you child uses social media, you will want to make sure they are safe from seeing this video.
Remember, we always have up to date information about online safety on our school website.
Thank you,
Mr Antell

Hampers and Christmas Stars
Mon 13 Dec 2021As you will know, our School Council have been very busy.
They have organised Christmas hampers for 16 local care homes with the help of our local Rotary Club. Each hamper had lots of goodies along with the handmade Christmas stars which all of the children have been creating over the past couple of weeks.
Here are some pictures of the hampers and stars being delivered by our children to the care homes. The messages from the parents about how gratefully received they were, have been lovely.
Safely delivered, residents and staff were really grateful.
My child thoroughly enjoyed dropping the hamper off. It was particularly special for us, because out of the 16 hampers you put together, you chose the hamper for the care home which her great grandma lived in before she passed away. As a family we couldn’t believe it when we saw the address.
Hamper delivered safely. They were thrilled with it and there were some tears. Such a lovely thing to do.
My child dropping off the hamper at Westcliffe Manor today....they were very surprised and extremely grateful! Great work FRJS.
This was such a simple thing to do, yet so effective, and we have definitely spread some Christmas cheer around Southport!

Christmas Tree Festival
Thu 02 Dec 2021Our school looks beautiful this Christmas. Every class has had a tree to decorate them and we have spread them round the corridors for everyone to enjoy.
The decorations have been made by the children and every tree looks wonderful. If you are coming into school next week for Parents' Evening you can see them for yourselves. If you have opted for Google Meet/Phone for your meetings, the photos attached will give you a good idea of how amazing they look.
We are very grateful to several companies who have paid for the trees and we would like to take the opportunity to thank them for their generosity:
- QD Plumbing
- Rigbys
- Don Fraser Coaches
- Green Inc Group
- Grants Builders
- Lixalls Hygiene

Head for a Day 2021
Wed 14 Jul 2021Today we had Issy and Harriet in charge as Headteachers for the Day.
We had a non uniform day, music in the canteen, a TTR Teacher Battle, fidget toys and ice lollies. What more do you want from a headteacher!!
The Headteachers even took a surprise phone call from somebody pretending to be a school inspector. Issy dealt with his question about homework very well, as you can hear on this link:
Issy and Harriet deal the inspectors!
The girls did an amazing job and they should be VERY proud of their achievement.
Have a look at the campaign videos on this link:

SLP Beach Clean
Tue 23 Feb 2021‘Southport children working together when they are apart’
We are promoting a Southport Learning Partnership project in the coming weeks and you might like to take part in the coming days.
Usually the schools all work together on projects, but that has been harder in the past few months. However, this very simple plan could have a big impact on our local environment and we can do it inside
the current restrictions.
The SLP Beach Clean will take place in February and March 2021
Take a carrier bag and gloves to the beach as part of your daily exercise
Make sure you keep to all of the current rules
Fill the bag with rubbish that you find -
be careful to keep safe
Take a selfie and send it to your school
If you can, tweet the photo tagging @FRJSJun and @SouthportLPTogether, we can make a big difference by all doing a little bit!
Beach cleaning photos can be found below.
