Newsletter No 43 26th January 2011

Attendance The class with the highest percentage was Year 2 Yellow with 100%. Well done Year 2 Yellow! The overall percentage for the whole school was 95.4 %. I would also like to remind you that children who are taken out of school for holidays during term time will be at serious risk of being removed from the school roll.

Money Management Course for Parents We will be hosting a free 2 day Money management course for parents. If you would like to find out how to manage your money, stop overspending, reduce your debts and learn to budget as well as where to get help, then this may be the course for you. The course will be held on Tuesday 1st February and Wednesday 2nd February from 9am Р10.30am. Free refreshments will be provided and an attendance certificate awarded; however there will be no cr̬che available on this occasion. If you would like to reserve a place, please phone the school office on 0208 518 2562 or pop in to put your name down on the waiting list.

Dinner Arrears Please make sure that dinner money is paid in advance, otherwise you will be asked to provide a packed lunch for your child.

Nursery/Reception School Uniform If you have any school uniform that is no longer used but is in good condition Nursery and Reception classes would be grateful of any donations.

Year 3 and 4 Football 1st Club Children in Years 3 and 4 were offered an additional football club on a Monday and Wednesday after school. Unfortunately, due to a very low take up we are not able to continue with these. However, if you wish your child to attend the Football First session on a Friday please contact Anna on 07834 386 814 to get the details of costs and times. We will review this again for the summer term to look at offering additional football clubs in the better weather!

Open School I would like to remind all parents and carers to walk through the school and look at your child’s class books this afternoon (26th Jan) between 3.30 and 4.15pm. Please note that this is, once again, an opportunity for the children to show their books to their parents, rather than a meeting with the class teacher.

Parent Questionnaire On this occasion, we will also have parent questionnaires available for you to complete, as we are keen to gather your views on the schools strengths and areas for development.


Late collection of Children During the week Monday 10th to Friday 14th January a total of 52 children were collected as late as 4.20pm at the end of the school day. Over the following weeks we will be closely monitoring this situation. Persistent lateness in collecting your child from school may result in a referral to the Education Welfare Services and a charge for providing childcare. Some parents are taking advantage and expecting school staff to be late for their own children and provide free childcare. This is clearly not acceptable.
