April 6, 2025 grosvenornews Leave a comment

We have had a very busy last week of term in school, with our Easter Hat Competition and Easter Family Bingo.

Easter Hat Competition

Well done to everyone that entered the competition; your creativity was truly amazing and Mrs Dunkley had a very difficult job trying to choose a winner from each class. Here are the Class Winners. The overall prize went to Archie in Year 1.

Easter Family Bingo

This week, we held two Family Bingo Evenings. Tickets for the event sold out in two days and many children, parents and grandparents had lots of fun playing bingo together and enjoying refreshments provided by our PTA.

Thank you to our school community for supporting the evenings and thank you to all our staff and PTA members for their help at these events.

On Monday 17th March, we held a special assembly for Mrs Whitehead, to celebrate her retirement and thank her for all her work at Grosvenor Road Primary. Mrs Whitehead has worked in our school as a teaching assistant for almost 31 years, mainly in Key Stage 1 and the Early Years.

All our children made her a special class card (22 of them!) and these were presented in the assembly, alongside a gift and flowers from all the staff.

As Mrs Whitehead leaves Grosvenor Road to have a well-earned rest, we wish her all the very best for a long, happy and healthy retirement. THANK YOU MRS WHITEHEAD!
