The following children received a personal letter of thanks for their beautiful and creative cards: Ishma Shaikh, Oliwia Wilgierz, Parker Samuel, Kerathan Sajinan and Bavneet Sagoo.
Well done to all of you!
Missed P.E. Sessions Some parents have raised concerns about missed P.E. lessons. Please note that if it is raining, classes do not go out for their games lesson. Sometimes, when Year Groups are rehearsing for performances, the hall is also required. However, we will make sure that this is not too frequent.  
Parking I am appalled to receive reports of inconsiderate parking by our parents from local residents. One resident who was unable to collect her own children as her car was blocked by a parent’s vehicle, was told that the school had given him permission to park there and that was the penalty of living so close to a school. This behaviour is totally unacceptable and the school certainly does not endorse this sort of behaviour! Please use the car park or park considerately.

Uniform Please ensure that your child comes to school in uniform (jade sweatshirt or plain grey jumper/cardigan, white polo shirt and grey trousers/skirt). Headscarves should be plain black or white, not printed. No jewellery should be worn, unless for religious reasons.
Colour Assemblies Please note that colour assemblies will recommence on 7th November at the usual times.
Road Safety Theatre Show Years 3 to 6 enjoyed a Road Safety themed theatre show last week. Judging by the laughter and cheering the children enjoyed it very much.
Payment For School Lunches Please remember that school lunches should be paid in advance. If you have accrued lunch arrears, you will asked to bring in a packed lunch for your child until the arrears have been paid. Payments can be made into the school office or online at www.feedhungryminds.co.uk/online-payments.
Student Teachers We are delighted to welcome a number of students who will begin working at Cranbrook this term. They will be working alongside the class teacher, supporting the children in class. I am sure you will join us in welcoming them to the school.
Missing Buggy Board We have received a report from a parent that they had left a buggy board at the bottom of the steps at the entrance of the school and when she      returned to collect it, it had gone. If you have taken the buggy board, please can you bring it to the school office, so that we may return it to the parent.
