They have returned to school focused and ambitious. This week we have reviewed every individual pupils progress and targets. They are all progressing well and making rapid gains. The children that have had interventions to move their learning forward, especially our new gifted and talented groups have made super progress and real impact is evident. This half term we have set all the new after school clubs and these have been devised by the children in line with their lifelong aspirations. We have some new clubs with a Drama and Dance club and singing with our professional singing leader - Miss Bailey. We are so privileged to have such talented staff teaching the children. We have our parent forum drop in Tuesday am for a cup of tea, piece of cake and a little chat to speak about how we can work in partnership even more to further improve our school, please do drop in. Thank you Mrs Knowles [Head Teachers Update - Week ending Friday 18th May ](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/news/2018-05-18-head-teachers-update-week-ending-friday-18th-may) ### Parents - [Safeguarding](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/parents/safeguarding) - [Latest News](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/news) - [Calendar](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/calendar) - [Events](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/parents/events) - [Wraparound care](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/parents/wrap-around-care) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2400.0541310576964!2d-2.170451783858812!3d53.01938987991181!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487a69d4086c0711%3A0x19262908cd9219d0!2sWaterside%20Primary%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1670583840226!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![Waterside Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/logo/waterside-logo-2-footer.png) **Waterside Primary School** Eastwood Road Stoke on Trent ST1 3JS Tel: 01782 234630 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Newsletter ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Waterside-Primary/61559202505677/) - [X](https://twitter.com/watersidestoke) © Copyright 2022–2026 Waterside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
