Head of School Message
It has been a lovely week in school this week and the children thoroughly enjoyed playing out in the snow at the beginning of the week! On snowy days we will always endeavour to allow the children outside to play in the snow with their friends. Please help us by sending children with wellies and spare socks on snowy days.
You may have heard your child talk about the ‘Wow’ challenge in school. This is a project to encourage active travel to school. Over the next week we will be appointing and training Wow Ambassador in charge of collecting our active travel data. Read more about it here: https://www.livingstreets.org.uk/walk-to-school/primary-schools/wow-the-walk-to-school-challenge/
Next week, Oak parents are invited to join their child for lunch at 11.45am on Wednesday. Please let the school office know if you are able to attend.
Flu immunisations will be taking place on Monday morning (children attending the Panathlon will have theirs before they leave). Consent was due to be given by Wednesday 20th November. If you have not yet given consent but would like your child to have the vaccination, please contact the school office.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Mavin

Parent Survey Feedback
Thank you to all of the parents who completed our parent feedback survey. We were delighted with the number of responses and we appreciate and value all of your feedback and comments. A few of the key responses are shared below. Our staff and Children’s Safeguarding Board will be exploring some of the suggestions made in the responses including the way children are released from class at the end of the day and parent/carer photograph permissions.
School Council elections have changed this year with children being appointed to the different pupil councils by democratic peer voting. We were really impressed with the way the children took part in this process and the new school councils will be meeting later this term.
We had some really positive feedback to the new format of our parent drop-in sessions this term which were intended as brief updates as to how your child has settled into this term. We will be having formal parent meetings in the Spring term where anything of a confidential nature can be discussed. As always, please feel free to contact your child’s class teacher via the school office if there is a confidential matter you need to discuss sooner.
