Strictly Come Dancing Star Visits Wymondham
Sun 26 Sep 2021Press release: Former Strictly star inspires pupils to keeeeep dancing!
As the new series of Strictly Come Dancing begins, lucky pupils from four village primary schools in the Vale of Belvoir have been inspired to ‘Keep dancing!’ by a former Strictly star.
Robin Windsor, a professional dancer who previously partnered with Deborah Meaden, Patsy Kensit and Lisa Reilly on the BBC One award-winning programme, has run a series of dance lessons this week for children at: Waltham-on-the-Wolds CE Primary School, Wymondham CE Primary School, Redmile CE Primary School and Croxton Kerrial CE Primary School.For the children who attend the schools, which are all part of the Rise Multi-Academy Trust, this was a unique opportunity to learn from an accomplished professional dancer, to enhance their passion for dancing and to keep active throughout their lives.
Robin Windsor, professional dancer and former Strictly Coming Dancing star, said: It has been an absolutely amazing couple of days. It's such a rewarding experience, because you get to see the children light up, they learn something new and their confidence builds throughout the day.
"I think dancing should be compulsory in schools, there are so many positive benefits!"Julie Hopkins, Executive Headteacher of all four schools, said: “The children were absolutely delighted to take part in a dance lesson with Robin. Many of them have watched Strictly Come Dancing over the years and some have gone to the arena tours, so to learn from one of the former professionals in person is just so thrilling for them.
“We already have a strong commitment to dance in our schools, as our specialist dance teacher, Cheryl Lobo, has been inspiring our children for many years. We are passionate about the many benefits to dancing; not only is it an incredible skill in its own right, but the fun and laughter is good for health and well-being. It promotes fitness and supports long-term memory, plus, it is a great opportunity to create lasting memories with friends and family.”

Message to our children
Fri 27 Mar 2020Dear Children,
Just a little ‘Hi’ from me to say thank you for keeping your teachers entertained with your fabulous work. They have loved the excitement of opening up their messages about your learning and have loved seeing your work; do keep them coming!
We are immensely proud of how you are embracing this new way of working and it has been particularly heart-warming to see you getting involved in helping others too.
I have seen some of your work as the teachers have sent me photographs of it which tells you how proud they are too.
Keep being kind to one another and remember…keep smiling!
This little poem by Paul Cookson made me smile today; I wonder if you’ve seen anything funny this week you could share with us?
When dad scored a goal in the garden
He celebrated with glee
He put his t-shirt over his head
And ran into a tree!Lots of love and a virtual group hug to you all.
From Mrs Hopkins x

Parent Message – 27/03/20
Fri 27 Mar 2020Dear Parents,
As we approach the end of a highly unusual week, I’d just like to say a massive thank you for showing support to the school as well as your children. I know that I speak on behalf of all the teachers and the wider school staff and governors in saying that we are truly proud to be part of such wonderful communities.
We have really missed the children and seeing you at the school gates, but thank goodness for technology!! We have loved the excitement of opening up messages from the children (via you!) about their learning and have loved seeing their work; do keep them coming! We are immensely proud of how the children are embracing this new way of working and it has been particularly heart-warming to see them getting involved in helping others.
We have had a number of children who we have needed to care for this week and they have all been AMAZING! They fully understand the need for their parents to continue their role as a key worker and they have made their parents proud with their respectfulness, courage and enthusiasm. It hasn’t been easy for them going to a different environment and not having all familiar faces around them, but they have coped remarkably well and I know they have put staff through their paces with Joe Wicks fitness plans!!A great team effort all round. Thank you to everyone.
There’s some important information to follow, but may I take this opportunity to wish you a healthy weekend and reminder that the clocks change…one hour forward!
With very best wishes,
Julie Hopkins: Executive Head Teacher
Hollie Geeson, Amanda Scott, Alison Longden: Heads of SchoolKeeping in touch
Whilst staff have received messages from most families, there are some who have not been in touch. Please remember that staff still have a duty of care and as such we must remind you that it is an EXPECTATION that you will communicate with us, so please get in touch.
We also need to keep in touch with those children who the government define as ‘vulnerable’ so if you receive a call from an unidentified number it could be us so please answer the call.
FSM vouchers
For those entitled to free school meals: office staff have been trying their hardest to resolve the issue of vouchers for you. Please bear with us; the on-line queues are rather busy!!
Summer term staff changes
We will send a letter out early next week informing you of imminent changes that will go ahead after the Easter holiday, regardless of whether or not school is open as I know some of you have queried this in schools where changes are expected.
Fraud targeting parents of children in FSM
The DfE has warned that fraudsters are targeting parents of children eligible for free school meals. Families have received an email requesting their bank details, claiming this will enable their children to continue receiving meals through school closures amid the COVID19 pandemic. DfE issued a notice, urging parents to delete the scam email immediately.
It is abhorrent that criminals would seek to target the most economically vulnerable families at any time, least of all now; please report anything unusual to the police if you are affected.
Children with Asthma
Asthma UK published the following shielding advice yesterday and I would urge you to read if it concerns anyone in your care. Particular reference should be made to:
“If you are, or your child is, taking:
- Any biologic therapy, also called a mAb (Xolair/omalizumab, Nucala/mepolizumab, Cinqaero/reslizumab, Fasenra/benralizumab)
- Steroid tablets or liquid every day
- Antibiotic tablets or liquid for asthma every week (e.g. azithromycin)
- Tiotropium
- A combination inhaler that also contains a long-acting bronchodilator (e.g. Seretide, Fostair, Symbicort) at a high daily steroid dose (see the list in the article)
- An inhaler with a high daily steroid dose (see the list….in the article) AND you are taking Montelukast
Or, if:
- You have been admitted to hospital for your asthma in the last 12 months
- You have ever been admitted to an intensive care unit for your asthma
Then you should follow the shielding advice which is set out in very helpful detail, including how to register for extra services from the government.”
