Children In Need On Friday, all children are invited to come in non-uniform dressed as ‘super heroes’ and donate money for Children In Need. Pizzas, samosas and cakes will be on sale at the end of the day. In addition, a limited number of Year 5 pupils will be staying over for a sleepover and other fun activities in the hall. There are a few spaces still remaining. Please let the office have your child’s name by Thursday if you are interested.

 

Please help us beat our record of £3000 from last year. We will also be doing a ‘money trail’ and children are invited to bring in any loose change that you can spare. The class that raises the highest amount will receive a prize. Year groups will also be running activities over the following week, please support them and give generously.

Paperless Newsletter We have now stopped sending paper copies out. Please remember, if you still want a paper copy of the newsletter, you may collect one from the school office. The newsletter will be on the school website by the end of each Wednesday.

 

Sibling Photographs All children should be in full school uniform for the photographs on the 17th November. This is for children where there is more than 1 child at the school.

 

Reporting Absences Parents, please remember that you can report your child’s absence by text message to 07860004994. Please note this number is only used for reporting absences and not to be used for general messages. Absences must be reported on the morning of the first day of absence. In some cases we will request medical evidence if the absence is lengthy or too frequent.

 

I would like to remind parents that if your child has 12 sessions of unauthorised absence recorded throughout the half term period, the Local Authority will issue you with a penalty notice.

 

All holidays during term time, also lead to a fine of £120 per child per parent.

Please note, you will only be allocated a place if your child meets the admissions criteria. Please read it carefully.

 

Parent Questionnaire Thank you so much to all parents who completed the paper copy of the feedback survey at the Parents Evening this week. We will also have copies at next week’s session of Parents Evening. You can also collect a copy from the school office.
