Children In Need
Fri 16 Nov 2018Well done to all of the children today. Their efforts in dressing up in bright, spotty or pudsey gear has raised over £230! Added to that the cake sale takings of over £220, which makes our grand total for Children in Need of over £450!
Thanks to our School Councillors who have been working hard with Mrs Green on planning the day, talking to their classes about the cause and running the cake sale. It is great to see children wanting to make a difference to others both locally, nationally and internationally.

Wellbeing evening
Fri 16 Nov 2018Last night we held our first 'Wellbeing evening' this was designed to support parents in the increasingly pressurised world in which we live. The turnout of parents was fantastic and just summed up the volume of concerns that parents have with the increased levels of anxiety and the use of technology that children seem to be facing.
The evening was attended by over 100 parents and the speakers included key members of staff linked to technology and wellbeing within the school and also outside speakers including our PCSO Alex Baldwin and also the Deputy Headteacher from Ringwood Secondary Claire Adams.
The evening had a variety of issues covered looking at the National climate, how adults can support children with anxiety or behavioural concerns, the importance of understanding the dangers online friend requests and what the children can access, the data of children at Poulner and concerns linked to this and finally the importance of being one step ahead and putting in place parental measures and house rules before the issues esculate to a serious nature and consequence.
I think a real strength of the evening was giving parents the time to talk together, share ideas and support each other in doing a great, and tough job of being a parent!

Community Firework Spectacular!
Mon 05 Nov 2018We were delighted to welcome so many families from the school and local community to our annual Fireworks Spectacular! Once again our numbers were well over 1,000 people attending and this year seemed even bigger and better. This is the 18th year of fireworks at Poulner, which is quite some tradition and this year the evening was supported by members of the local Lions club, Ringwood firefighters, Hampshire constabulary Police and our local PCSO officer and Ringwood Brewery. The PTA and Dads club put on brilliant refreshments with the BBQ, Bar, hot drinks, Toffee apples and sweet shop and this year we also welcomed a local trader selling candy floss!
The main fireworks were once again magnificent and a great evenign was had by all!
