We are sad to say that Rose Burley, Governor, has stepped down from her role as a co-opted governor at the end of September. Rose has been involved with Elmwood School from back 2007 when she was part of the temporary governing body ahead of the school opening in January 2008. Over the past 15 years Rose has been a great asset to the team and supported the school through  numerous Ofsted inspections and attended functions/events whenever possible. During her time as a Governor, in conjunction with being an elected Walsall Counsellor and also serving as Deputy Mayor followed by Mayor of Walsall, Rose has held the post of both Chair and Deputy Chair of Governors. Rose has always been a very busy lady but has always tried to support the school whenever possible. The door will always be open for Rose to pop by and visit and we send her our very best wishes for the future. Thank you Rose, you will be sadly missed.

Due to popular demand, we are holding a further final open afternoon event for parents and carers of pupils currently in Year 6. This opportunity will take place on Wednesday 18th October 2023 at 3.00 pm when parents and carers will have a tour of the school and meet with Senior Leaders. If you would like to see what Elmwood has to offer, please contact the school office either by calling 01922 721081 or via email to postbox@elmwood.walsall.sch.uk to confirm your attendance. We look forward to welcoming you to Elmwood School.

We are pleased to announce that the school has been reaccredited with the Leading Parent Partnership Award. This national award recognises the work that the school does working alongside parents and carers. It acknowledges evidence of our sustained approach to parental engagement and ensures parents and carers have a positive experience of the school. Thank you to everyone who contributed, including pupils, and also to to parent Rachel Williamson (mom to Craig, former pupil) and Tracy MacDonald (nee Brandwood), joint Chair of Governors and Sarah Thornton, Parent Governor, for their input and support. A big thank you to Jo Hughes, part time family support worker/teaching assistant for her time and hard work in achieving this award. A copy of the report is available below and well worth a read:

We are excited to announce that we have been successful in our application to the Tesco Stronger Campaign. This will be launched in October and run until mid January 2024. To vote, you will need to make a purchase within the Tesco Walsall Extra store of any value. You will receive one token per transaction and it’s not necessary to purchase a carrier bag in order to receive a token. The project with the highest number of votes across our region will receive £1,500 (or the amount that was requested up to this value), the second placed project £1,000 (or the amount that was requested up to this value), and the third placed project £500. Any support towards this scheme during the voting period would be much appreciated and will help to improve the outdoor area for our pupils. Many thanks in advance and please spread the word to friends and family because as the saying goes, every little helps.
