We are seeing more and more children arriving late for school at the moment and we would like to remind parents and carers of the procedures we have in place for children coming into school.

The bell for morning registration is rung at 8:55 a.m. and the side gate on to the playground is locked by 9:00 a.m. If children arrive after 8.55 and the gate is still open, children are expected and quite able to go onto the playground and into class on their own without their parents. If the side gate has been locked, children should go to the main entrance where Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal will accompany children into class.

Whilst we appreciate that parents often want to pass a message on to a class teacher, our priority in the morning is to get the children settled and to do attendance and dinner registers.  We strive to develop children’s independence and confidence from when they start school and going into class on their own is part of their development.

Mrs Jones and Mrs Neal are more than happy to pass on messages to staff but if you feel that you need to speak to your child’s class teacher, could we please ask that you try to do so at the end of the school day or leave a message for them to phone you during the day which they are more than happy to do.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to me.

Many thanks for your support.

Mrs Natalie Johnson

If your child is attending Craft Club on Thursday please can you let Mrs Neal (reception) know.  Cost – £1.00 per child (money in an envelope with their name on)

Thank you

As part of our Maths unit, over the next weeks Class 2 are going to plan and hold a cake sale on Thursday 13th Febuary at break time. All children are welcome to bring money to buy cakes that will cost about 20p. We hope to use the money raised to buy some new costumes for our role play area.

Many thanks,

Mrs Chadwick

If your child is unwell and will not be in School, please could we remind parents and carers to phone School before 9:30 a.m. or, if you are bringing a sibling to School, please inform your child’s teacher or the Office.

Many thanks.

Children have had another busy week and we thank you for your support helping your child with homework, spellings, reading and for any special activities planned by individual classes.

We hope you are making full use of the School website, which we are very proud of, to check what is going on or coming up in your child’s class, read about and see photos of what your child has been learning this week and check the calendar for details on clubs, trips, etc. There is an expectation on us to limit printing as much as possible and the website has had a positive impact on how we communicate with yourselves.

If you do not have access to the Internet, however, please speak to Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal at the Office and they will arrange for a weekly newsletter to be sent home with your child.
