World Book Day Egg Competition!

 

We are very 'egg-cited' to announce this year's World Book Day Egg Competition! 

 

We would like you to decorate an egg in a Wizard of Oz theme - this can be any character from the story such as Dorothy, the Tin Man or the Wicked Witch, or it can be decorated to represent the story as a whole.  You can create a background or just have it as a single egg that can be displayed.  

 

Bring your egg (carefully!) to the library anytime between Monday 24th February and Wednesday 5th March where it will be placed in our Emerald City Display.  Make sure you include your name, class and either the name of character you have chosen or the theme it shows.  

 

Judging will take place on World Book Day, Thursday 6th March. Winners will be announced and prizes given out in assemblies the following week. 

 

Good luck everyone!

From the Year 6 Library Monitors Team

DCAT UPDATE

We are delighted that Tollgate Community Junior School joined DCAT on 1st October 2023.  

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. You want your child to be safe and happy at school. You want their learning to be meaningful and enjoyable. We are delighted that we are in the process of joining the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust. This is an exciting opportunity that will enable Tollgate to collaborate with other schools with a similar ethos. We are confident that approval will be given by the Regional Commissioner in Spring 2023, with conversion completed for October 2023.

Our children are excited about coming to school. They feel part of our learning community. Everyone is valued, respected and cared for. We are committed to meeting the individual needs of each child. We work in close partnership with all of our families. This ensures our children are successful and responsible members of the community. Vital to this partnership is our ‘open door’ policy. Parents and carers feel they can approach the school if they have a query or concern.

At Tollgate Community Junior School we celebrate success, reward achievement and support difficulties. Our pupils are keen and motivated learners. They have a well-developed understanding of the world and their role within it. Our curriculum is broad, balanced and enriching. We make the most of first-hand learning opportunities.

We hope that this website gives you a flavour of what life is like at Tollgate. We would like to welcome you to our school to experience for yourself the unique ethos and opportunities that our children enjoy. We hope that your family will become part our learning community and take advantage of all that we have to offer.

Welcome to our school.

Mr S. Dennis
Headteacher

A warm welcome from the Headteacher

Together Everyone Achieves More

We are all born with an innate capacity to learn. How successful we are can depend on a variety of factors. These can include how we feel about ourselves, if we know how we learn best, how good we are at practising and making links with what we already know. At Tollgate we know that we have children with a tremendous amount of potential. With help from parents we aim to develop this potential.  

If you would like your child to join us at Tollgate, we would love to hear from you. Or you can contact the East Sussex County Council Admissions team for more information.

    Library Monitors
    Good afternoon We were absolutely overwhelmed with the response for the library monitors roles, receiving over 100 completed application forms from across the school.  Of those applications, 40 children were interviewed, and we have chosen 25 children who will be working in teams to support the day to day running of the library.  The new monitors will start their role in the last week of this term.  We would like to thank all the children for their applications and whilst we understand some may be disappointed, rest assured it was really tricky to choose as they were all very good. Over time some children may decide that the role is not for them, so we will keep a list of the unsuccessful candidates and should the opportunity for a space arise, the children may still get the chance to have a go at some point. Kind regards Mrs Allen

    Reminder: Mufti- TTRockstars
    Dear parent/carer, A reminder for Friday As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in the UK for NSPCC Number Day on Friday 7th February. It’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com. For every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, your child will earn their class a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average. All game modes (Gig, Garage, Studio, etc.) will count but only from games played between 7:30AM and 7:30PM on Friday 7th February 2025. To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60 minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60 minutes between 7.30am and 7.30pm on Friday 7th. Once the player goes beyond 60 minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition. In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf, but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans. We would also like to encourage the children to wear mufti clothes on the day for a suggested donation of £1, all of which will go to the NSPCC, a charity that works to promote the safety and welfare of children. Good luck to all the children! Mrs Lewis

    Parent KS3 Transition Support / Advice
    Good morning Many parents and children have questions about moving on to secondary school and it is not always easy to find a trusted source of information. Luckily, we have been offered some support from two experienced members of staff from St Catherine’s College – Emma Massey and Joe Gwynne. They will be available for informal chats and to answer questions on Monday afternoons on the front playground at pickup time (3.15-3.30 pm). They are happy to talk to anyone – not just Y6 parents and although they are based at St Catherine’s, both have worked at numerous local secondary schools so may be able to help with both general and school specific queries (Ratton/Eastbourne Academy etc.). So that you know who to look for, here are their photographs. They are going to position themselves next to the Office door. They are very friendly, so please do take the opportunity to go and chat. Kind regards Mr Walsh

    Glurbs
    Dear parents/carers, We work with a company called Language Angels who provide a scheme to support our teaching and learning of French. They have developed an app called 'Glurbs' which can be used at home to further support language learning in a fun and interactive way. Please find attached a flyer giving you further details. If you have any trouble using the QR code, you can easily search for 'Glurbs' in your app store or browser. You will need to sign up using an email address. Don't forget to also check out Duolingo, which I know a lot of children already use at home for fun language learning. Best wishes, Mrs Wilson
