On Thursday 28th November, we launched our Welfare Hub. We were delighted to welcome parents/carers into school to speak to our pastoral team, learning mentors, SENDCO and senior leadership team. Our Welfare Hub is open every Thursday morning between 9am and 10am and is an opportunity for our community to seek advice on a range of areas such as: behaviour, safeguarding, attendance, online safety, support with completing application forms or simply an opportunity to seek advice on signposting to agencies available in Birmingham. The Welfare Hub is located in The Arches - on the far end of the playground. We hope to see more parents/carers join us next Thursday - everyone is welcome! 

On Friday 29th November, Mr Rotimi (Ras Hyatt) relaunched TT Rockstars! TTRS is a fun, interactive maths programme that takes all the worry out of learning times tables and has a proven track record of boosting children's fluency and recall in multiplication and division. We encourage your child to access TTRS at home to support their learning and boost their confidence with numbers. Regular practice will make a big difference in helping them master key Maths concepts in a fun and engaging way! If your child needs a login, please see the class teacher.

On Friday 29th November, Mrs Patel, Mr Taylor and Mr Fletcher met with Councillor Mumtaz Hussain and Imran Khan from Highways. We discussed ongoing parking issues during drop-off and pick-up times and collabrated on future plans to minimise parking issues. We look forward to continuing to engage with senior representatives and to work in partnership with Councillor Mumtaz and Imran to make our school community safe for all children and residents. 

We are excited to be launching our Welfare Hub. Our first session will be held on Thursday 28th November, 2024 between 9:00am -10:00am.

Location: The Arches- located on the far end of the playground.

Please speak to a member of the Senior Leadership Team if you have any questions.

We are excited to be writing to you to share the news that we have established a partnership with Star Foundation Charity. 

At Prince Albert we are always considering opportunities to raise funds for our school and in partnership with Star, we are excited to be benefiting from a Star Donation Bank. This will be a large donation unit, that will be stored on the playground, near the second set of gates. The purpose of this donation unit is to recycle unwanted items from clothes, shoes, bags, belts, CD/DVD’s (scratched or damaged), books and videos etc. In doing so, Star will recycle your donations and all of the money raised from the donations will come directly back to us as a school, helping us to re-invest the money in providing more personal development opportunities for our children within the local community.  

The Star Donation Bank will be situated on our playground from Tuesday 19th November and will be collected once it is full. Please use the ‘bank’ to make any donations that will go a long way in supporting us in raising more funds for our school.
