Dear Parents and Carers,

 

This Week in School

Today, we turned the school yellow to show our support for St Margaret’s Hospice, a charity which is very dear to our hearts. The work they do is invaluable, and we are pleased that with your help, we have raised £150 for this worthy organization.

 

Health & Safety Reminder – No Smoking & No Vaping on Site

Please could we politely but firmly remind parents that we have a strict no smoking and no vaping policy. This extends to the car park. Thank you for your support in this matter.

 

Amenities and Swimming

Please can we remind you that this term’s contribution for your child’s swimming lessons - £10 per term per child, is due. Can we also remind you that the amenities contribution is due. This allows us to fund our exciting extracurricular events such as theatre companies, performers and visiting artists. These contributions should be paid to the school bank account, ending in 7152. Please quote reference ‘S’ for Swimming and ‘A’ for Amenities. Please contact the school office if you have any queries about this.

 

Cake Sale on Friday 15th November

Class 4 will be holding a Cake sale to raise money for Children in Need on Friday 15th November. Cakes will be £1 each and will be available for sale to all classes. Thank you in advance for helping us to support this cause.

 

Parent Volunteers – Year 3

We are seeking volunteers to support with reading in Year 3. If you can help with this, please get in touch with the school office to inform them of your availability and to discuss DBS checks. Your support is appreciated.

 

Flu Immunisation

Please find attached information for local Community drop-in Flu clinics if your child has not yet been immunised.

 

Christmas Book Fayre 26th November

Mrs Earp and Miss Roberts will be holding a special Christmas Book Fayre after school on Tuesday 26th November, further details to follow.

 

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

 

Best wishes,

 

Edwina McDonnell

Headteacher
