Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
All of us arrived at PGL safe and sound. We were late because there was a traffic jam. Then we were put into our rooms and played some games. For dinner we had chicken chunks and chips with cheesecake for pudding. Then we had a camp fire with songs and stories.
We then went to bed all ready for Tuesday.

An assembly not to be missed!
Koala Class Assembly on Friday 15th May at 2:30 in the school hall.
Parents, Family and friends welcome.
It's Thank a Teacher week! So to say a thank you to all of the staff at Barley Close, we compiled a short thank you video featuring some of the children. Staff got to see this during Achievement Assembly today which touched us all. I have attached some of the highlights of the video for you to see - find it in the gallery section of the website.

At Barley Close we offer full extended services that include a breakfast club, a paid after school club and several additional after school clubs (e.g. football and arts and craft). Due to these commitments and safety of the children arriving and leaving the premises, anytime between 8am and 6.30pm, we keep the school gates closed in order to minimise traffic on the school grounds.
This does have an impact on visitors and parents parking on public roads around Barley Close School. This concern was raised by the school 2012; in response the Local Authority extended the Laurels Carpark (I have attached a map for your reference at the bottom of this article). This is a public carpark with a direct path onto the school grounds. This carpark provides ample free parking for visitors to Barley Close; we have always promoted this facility and asked the swim schools and lettings to do the same. We encourage all parents/carers and visitors to either travel to school by foot, bike or scooter or to use this carpark rather than parking on the street.
We have contacted the local PCSO and he will be making visits to the Barley Close area to ensure drivers are parking and driving legally and safely, any drivers breaking the law will be reported.
We will reiterate this expectation with all our school lettings.
The school was set a holiday challenge during the Easter break (see last news article) and Megan did something really special.
Megan decided she wanted to do something to support her community and help the homeless. She spent hours making sandwiches and a day giving homeless people in the community a healthy meal.
Well done Megan for your kind and inspiring homework challenge!
A HUGE thanks to all Barley Close pupils who took part in the Holiday homework challenge over Easter!
Our holiday homework topic theme was 'SMSC' standing for 'Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural.'
The effort and success of all the homework entries has been amazing! With nearly 60 entries being entered altogether and homework entries submitted across every single year group, our homework display is looking absolutely fantastic!
We even had to spill over to the extra surrounding wall space to display all of them!
A big thank you for all who entered, certificates and winners to be announced soon...
Watch this space!
