Dear Families,
Welcome back and Happy New Year!
2026 at JKPS got off to a great start on Monday with our INSET day, where staff continued their work on developing an anti-racist culture during a thought-provoking workshop led by @Embrace. We then headed outside for some outdoor games led by Coach Leo, learning more about the range of activities we can enjoy on our astroturf in preparation for developing the games children chose at playtime. It was a perfect January day and wonderful to see the team so engaged and energised.
On Tuesday, it was lovely to welcome the children back to school, refreshed and full of enthusiasm for the New Year, with lots of thoughtful New Year’s resolutions to share – see below.
As always, there’s plenty coming up this term, so please do keep an eye on the dates and events throughout the newsletter.
Schönes Wochenende!
Patrick

Racial Awareness Parent/Carer workshops
Who's it for? All parents and carers.
What will the sessions cover? During the 90minute workshop, we will be exploring how racial identities have developed in our society, engaging in self-reflection and group sharing exercises to explore our own perspectives around racial identity, and learning how to become more racially conscious around identity.
How do I register? For the first session at 7pm 29th January, register your interest here. This session will be in person.
For the second session, at 7pm on 5th February - there is no need to register, just save the date. This session will be online. We will share the link nearer the time.
