REMEMBER good schools depend on parental involvement and support.
SUNDAY 24TH JUNE 2- 5 P.M.
Cars are again being parked dangerously near to school and parents are driving into our car park. PLEASE do not do this as this puts your children at risk. Many complaints have been made about a small number of Nursery parents using our car park. There has been a car accident outside the school this week, and we want to avoid one involving any of the children.
We would like to remind parents that we suggest that suitable snacks are cartons of drink, fruit, or plain biscuits. We ask you not to send chewing gum, chocolate, fizzy drinks, or glass bottles. Please remind your children, as we do, to use the litter bins.
Some of our children’s telephone numbers appear to be incorrect, could you please advise the office by sending in a note with your child of any new telephone numbers, mobiles especially or work numbers etc, where you can be contacted throughout the day,
For parents who like to pay in advance, the Dinner Money required for the next half term will be £43.75 less £1.25 for per day for any absences. (If you are unsure please check in the office in the new term.)
Miss Simpson will be finishing as 0.5 Reception ECO in July. She has done an excellent job and we wish her all the best in the future. We are advertising for a qualified full time ECO for this class. We have been able to make this a full-time post because of our improved financial position. Thank you to the PFA and parents, grandparents and other members of the community who have supported fund-raising. Your efforts have helped us to have more money to increase staffing.
Mrs Edwards is expecting a baby, and will begin maternity leave on November 5th. We are very pleased to hear about the impending arrival of baby Edwards! We are advertising for a Temporary KS2 teacher to take Y3 from November to March. We intend to recruit this teacher this term, and then involve the successful applicant in liaison with Mrs Edwards so that the children in Y3 will make the same good progress as always.
