Culloden Newsletter

September 19th 2025

Welcome back to all our staff, children and families at CPA.

The school has a strong inclusive culture that supports pupils exceptionally well, including those who are disadvantaged. It creates an environment where pupils feel valued members of the school community and are empowered to achieve their full potential, both academically and in their wider development.

Unsung Heroes

This week’s unsung heroes are:

Chloe for supporting the parents across Y4.

Rukeya and Shamima for always being resilient and patient.

The Nursery team for settling in the pupils amazingly.

Year 4 educational visit

Year 4 had a fantastic educational visit at the Bloomberg Space exploring Roman Britain and what life was like. They took part in a fun and interactive workshop and have learned a lot to help them with their History topic.

New Staff

A big welcome to two new members of staff joining us this year, Enam and Aklima.

Enam: “I have been a teacher for 5 years and have taught a variety of year groups, but mostly UKS2, I thoroughly enjoy teaching and working with children.”

Aklima: “I’m very excited to be joining the school as the new Year 4 teacher. I’ve had the opportunity to work across all primary year groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how children learn and grow at each stage. I’m really looking forward to bringing that experience into our Year 4 classroom. I hope to have a fun, positive, and successful year together.”
