As we come to the end of another term I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the school’s success:
• the continued support of parents and carers
• the continuing good behaviour of our pupils
• a stable, committed and hardworking staff team
• the improved attendance
• the improved assessment outcomes across the school
• the high attendance by parents at school events including parents evening, workshops, Eid presentation, Cultural Diversity Events, Coffee Mornings, the Year 3 performance.
• the PTA pantomime
• the link and support of our Zambian partner school
• the commitment of our governing body
• the improved reputation of the school within the local authority.
• the volunteer programme
I would like to thank all parents who attended the coffee mornings and gave us honest feedback. As a staff team we are committed to responding to the feedback and addressing issues raised, and I will be organizing another such morning early next term.
Staffing Update Sadly, we will be saying a fond farewell to a key member of the senior staff team, Alison Dreese, assistant headteacher. After careful consideration, Alison will be taking early retirement from January 2012. I am sure you will join me in thanking her for the great contribution to the school, especially to Early Years and the development of young teachers. Her departure leaves a huge gap within the school. On behalf of all pupils, parents, staff and governors, I wish Alison all the very best for the future. She will continue her contact with the school as a consultant, and the carer of the 2 guinea pigs she has given to our Early Year pupils.
We will also be welcoming back Safiyyah Ikram from maternity leave. She will be providing cover and support across Years 1-5 on 3 days a week.

Change of Morning Routine Thank you for your support with this change of routine. Overall, the start of the day is much improved. However, I would like to clarify that the school times have not changed. We are simply addressing the issues of congestion, bad weather, punctuality and the pressure on the car park. The gates will not open any earlier than 8.45am. Please also help us by sending in money for trips or arrears in envelopes that are clearly labelled with your child’s name and class, so that these get to the correct collection box and can be handed in to the senior member of staff on duty at the gate and/or doorways.

Change to the start of the school day from Monday 28th November In order to ensure a smooth start to the day, address the issue of congestion in the playground and reduce the pressure in the car park, from Monday all children can come straight into their class from 8.45am. Teachers will no longer come down to collect the children but will be ready in class to receive them. The aim of this is to ensure a steady flow through the car park, avoid delays on the part of the teacher, get children into a warm environment and improve punctuality. Designated staff will be appointed to the doorways to ensure security and safety. Teachers will bring the class down at the end of the day as usual. I would ask for your support in ensuring that this goes smoothly next Monday onwards.

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.

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.

Newsletter No 9 9th Nov 2011
Zambia Mark H and Sheena spent the half term week in Zambia visiting and teaching at the school we have linked with. This was a wonderful opportunity and they have already come back and started sharing information with the children at Cranbrook to support their learning. Watch out for a coffee morning in the next few weeks where they will be able to share some photographs and stories about the week and how the money that was raised before half term was used to support Janna school. Also, take a look on our website under the ‘Download’ section where some photographs show you the school….http://www.cranbrookprimary.redbridge.sch.uk/

Sponsorship forms were sent home to all KS1 and KS2 parents just before half term. The money raised will go to funding for more Olympic events for the school and there will be small gifts depending on how much each child raises. This is a really exciting opportunity for your child to take part in some exercise and have their photo taken with Larry. Please make sure your child has their PE Kit in school that day.

Parent Coffee Mornings I would like to invite parents to meet me informally for a coffee and biscuits, but also to gather your views on how the school is doing.

Considerate Parking We have, yet again, received some complaints from our neighbours regarding some parents parking inconsiderately over their driveways when dropping off and collecting their children from school, Would the owner of car registration MM57 UFE, please make sure that you park in an appropriate and safe place.
Thank you to all parents who continue to show consideration to children’s safety and the law. However, recently one of our pupils was knocked over outside school, and I continue to be concerned about the lack of consideration by some parents who not only drive dangerously without putting seatbelts on their children, but persistently stop in the middle of the car park to let their children run out without ensuring that they have safely reached their class line. DO YOU REALLY NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY, OR THAT OF OTHERS?!!!! Shame on you—you know who you are!!!
