We know that the upcoming England World Cup match is scheduled to take place beyond the bedtime of many of our children. While we are all excited to support England, we also recognise the importance of children getting a good night’s sleep so that they are ready to learn and enjoy the next school day.
To help families avoid any pressure to stay up late, we will be showing the extended highlights of the match in classes the following morning. This will give all children the opportunity to enjoy the excitement, key moments and goals alongside their friends and teachers during the school day.
To make the occasion even more special, children are invited to wear their favourite football shirt, football kit or England colours to school.
We kindly ask families to help us keep the excitement alive by avoiding discussing or sharing the score with children before they arrive at school, as many will be looking forward to watching the highlights together.
We are looking forward to hopefully celebrating a win for England as a school community and hope this approach allows children to enjoy the occasion while still maintaining their usual bedtime routines.
