Hello everyone
This has been a very challenging week in school but it has been made much easier thanks to your support. I would like to say a very heartfelt thank you on behalf of all the staff and governors.
Friday Worship
It was wonderful to see so many children from Hazel class join our Teams worship today and I’m sorry if I did not mention you by name. We could only see some children on the screen in Maple class but I know next door in Oak class they were able to see many more of you! We had a few technical difficulties connecting so it was a relief just to be able to log in – hopefully next week things will run more smoothly!
I’ll send you an invite for next Friday’s worship and hopefully you will be able to join us again. In the meantime, I hope you all stay well and I can’t wait to see you back in school.
Before and after-school clubs
Please read the following extract below taken from the latest government guidance at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/education-a … ember-2020
‘Where schools are offering extra-curricular activities (that is, before and after school clubs) they should only do so where it is reasonably necessary to support parents to work, search for work, or undertake training or education, or where the provision is being used for the purposes of respite care.’
IMPORTANT REMINDER – BUBBLE TIMES DURING COVID-19
We have already sent out several reminders about children needing to arrive at their bubble door/gate on time and before it closes. Every day, there are a few children who are arriving late and who then have to enter through the main entrance door. This is putting staff and other children at risk and we need all parents to make sure that their child arrives on time.
We understand there will be odd times where things happen before school but late arrival at school must not happen on a regular basis. Our attendance registers are reviewed by the Local Authority and parents will be contacted by the Education Welfare Officer where concerns arise about punctuality or attendance. Thank you.
We have been asked to share the survey link below with our school community.

WANTED – Decorations / donations for our Christmas Grotto
To try and make things as special as possible for the children in school leading up to Christmas, and also to raise funds, we are going to create a Christmas grotto and we desperately need your help.
If you are changing your Christmas tree or decorations this year, rather than take them to the recycling centre or put them in the bin, we’d love to take them off your hands!
We are looking for donations of:
- artificial christmas trees
- Christmas tree decorations – baubles, tinsel, etc – NOT lights please.
- small unwanted gifts which children can buy as gifts for their family for 50p/£1 e.g. toiletries, stationery, candles, or anything that you think children might like to purchase!
Thank you in advance for your support.
Have a safe weekend and take care.
