Newsletter No 10 16th Nov 2011

Inclement Weather Parents, PLEASE send your child appropriately dressed for school in warm coats now that the temperature is dropping. I am concerned that so many children are arriving with no additional clothing for play and lunchtimes.

Feedback from Coffee Mornings and Parent’s Evening Thank you to all parents/carers who took the time to share their views of the school’s strengths and areas for development. Your feedback has been shared with staff and we have already started to make adjustments. Please see accompanying sheet for details of feedback.

Rupens—School Uniform Supplier Would parents/carers please note that Rupens will be closed from 30th November until 21st December.

Primary Transition Workshops for Parents of Children in Nursery If you are a parent whose child attends Cranbrook Nursery then we would like to invite you to a form filling session to help you to apply for a Primary School for your child. The workshop will take place on Tuesday 29th November 2011 and there will be two sessions available. The first will take place in the morning from 9am – 10.30am and the second will take place in the afternoon from 2pm – 3.30pm in the small hall. Please note that the deadline for the submission of all Primary School applications is Sunday 15th January 2012. Applications can also be completed online by logging onto www.redbridge.gov.uk If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact Beverley who is the schools’ parent support adviser

Breakfast/After School Childcare Provision Please note that this provision is full to capacity and should not be used as emergency cover, as there is no more space.

Racist Incident Monitoring In line with Local and National policies and procedures, we ensure that all racist incidents are recorded and appropriate action is taken. Whilst I am pleased to inform you that such incidents are rare at Cranbrook, recently we have had children say ‘My dad says I cannot sit next to people who are black or eat ham’. I must emphasise that this is overt racism and will not be tolerated by the school. I would, therefore, ask that parents be aware.

Stranger Danger Please ensure that you are vigilant around the school site, as reports from other local schools have been received that indicate that school students are being approached by strangers.

Disabled Parking Spaces Just to remind parents not to park in disabled bays unless disabled. They are extra wide which allows the disabled person to get out—it is not just about parking near to the building/playground.

Small Car Park Would parents/carers please ensure that they walk through the pedestrian gate and stay on the path and not walk through the gate for vehicles and in the service road, this is for your own health and safety as there are large vehicles using this entrance.
