A very warm welcome back to you all! I hope you had a
wonderful break and enjoyed the lovely
weather.
School Values and Motto We have started the year by reminding ourselves of our school
values -
Respect, Friendship, Courage, Determination, Inspiration, Equality and
Excellence.
Our school motto remains as,
‘Our Children Today, Our Future Tomorrow’.
I would ask all parents to support us in promoting
these with your children.
Priorities For The Year These will include the following:
·
Improving attendance
·
Developing children’s speaking
and listening skills
·
Personalising their learning to
achieve greater success
·
Gaining a reputation for
excellence within the local area
·
Ensuring that all stakeholders
contribute towards achievement and outstanding outcomes.
Attendance We must achieve over 95% this year, so that our children
achieve the best outcomes that they are capable of. Last year’s assessment results have shown that children whose
attendance was not good, did not achieve as highly as others.

Uniform/Jewellery As always I would ask for your support in ensuring
that children follow the school’s uniform policy each day and that they wear no
jewellery to school. Uniform can be purchased from Rupens (98/100 Meads Lane,
Seven Kings, Essex IG3 8QN).
Clubs An update of the provisions available for this term and when they
will be starting will be sent out early next week.
Year 5 Swimming Pupils will be beginning swimming lessons this term. Class 5 Yellow will be
going this term, two classes in the spring term and the last class in the summer term.
A letter will be sent to parents shortly. I would like to remind you that swimming lessons are an entitlement for every child
and no one can be withdrawn from these lessons.
School Lunches The cost of a school meal for
your child has been frozen by the provider at £2 per day or £10 per week.
Please remember that all monies
must be paid in advance at the beginning of the week. Envelopes for lunch are
available from the school office which should be clearly labelled with your
child’s name and class.
If you child’s account is in arrears from last term, your
child will not be able to have a school lunch. It is your responsibility to
ensure that you send your child to school with a packed lunch until full
payment of the arrears have been made.
Warm Weather As we enjoy the last few days of
this wonderful weather, please can you remember to apply sunscreen to your
child and provide them with a water bottle and a hat.
