Newsletter No 21 22nd Feb 2012

Welcome back, everyone! I do hope you had a really good half-term. As always it has been lovely to see our children return happy and excited.

OFSTED Inspection I would like to take this opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the parents, who took the time to complete the questionnaires and talk to the Inspectors. We had a great response. Unfortunately, we will not be notified of the outcome until the report is available, hopefully by the end of the month. More to follow.

Attendance The classes with the highest percentages are Reception Yellow and Year 1 Blue with 97.3%! Well done to both classes! The overall percentage for the whole school was 92.4% which is disappointing. PLEASE work with us to improve this to at least 95%.

Year 6 Parents’ Meetings Apologies, once again for the change of date for these meetings. As we had such short notice for the inspection, we needed to have the teachers in class for their observations. The meetings have been re-arranged for Wednesday 29th February for Year 6 Yellow and Wednesday 7th March for Year 6 Blue. The same times will apply. If you are not sure what time your appointment is, please check with the office.

Parents’ Evening for Nursery to Year 5 -Parents You should receive the appointment slips confirming the meetings for progress meetings with the Classteachers this week. Please make every effort to attend.

22nd February Yr1/Yr3 Workshops for Parents In response to requests from parents,workshops for Year 1 and Year 3 parents were held today and were well supported. The meetings focussed on how to support your child in numeracy.

Passport Signing We will now be charging parents/carers £5 for each passport signing, as we are being inundated with requests.

Cake Stall Thank you to everyone who bought from or made contributions to the cake stall on the last day of half term. We raised a fantastic £180.00!

Year 1 and 4 performance dates The Year 1 performance to parents is on Wednesday 28th March at 2pm.
The Year 4 performance to parents is on Wednesday 21st March at 2.15pm

Sainsburys Active Kids Vouchers We are collecting the Sainsburys Active Kids Vouchers again this year, so please remember to send them in to school so we can collect as many as we can and exchange them for PE equipment.

Parking We have received yet another complaint from a resident who lives on The Drive. The driver of a black BMW 5 series registration number V2 EEV left their car unattended blocking two driveways. Please be more considerate when parking your vehicles to bring and collect your children from school. Please also avoid parking in the disabled bays as ‘They are for disabled people!’. I am really disappointed to find out that some parents refuse to allow disabled people to use these spaces—SHAME ON YOU!
