Dear Parents,
School collection
This is a polite reminder that parents should not be in the school building after pickup, unless there is a prearranged meeting with your child’s class teacher or a staff member where you will be collected from The School Office.
Parent Survey
Families received an email this week asking you to complete the parent survey. We are hoping as many parents who can will complete the survey so we obtain a representative view.
Lost Property
There is a large amount of unnamed lost property which will be outside at the end of the school day next week. Please could parents ensure that ALL clothing coming into school is named.
Eco Week
Next week is Eco Week in school – a big thanks to Miss Davies and Miss Jessop who have put so much time and effort into arranging a very engaging week for the children.
PTFA Auction of Promises
Please don’t forget to buy your ticket for the ‘Auction of Promises’ event happening on 20th March. The staff team are very much looking forward to supporting this event and I am excited to hopefully have a ‘Headteacher’ working alongside me for a day in the summer term!
Head lice
There are a number of reported cases of head lice in the school. Head lice spread very quickly, particularly at school because the children are in such close proximity. Please ensure that you check your child’s hair regularly and if head lice are detected it is important to treat it as quickly as possible.
PE Kits
Recently there have been a number of children forgetting their PE kits, please ensure your child brings in their kit on their specific PE days.
Lunch boxes
Please make sure that you have removed your child’s lunch box from the shed by next Friday as the sheds will be cleared out over the half-term break. Any lunch boxes left will be thrown away.
