Dear Parent/Carer,

Student Support Centre

Packs will be sent home early next week from the ‘Student Support Service’. This is a private company who provide home learning support at a financial cost. Whilst we are happy to send this information home we are not recommending any particular product.

However, for every reply slip that is returned into school the ‘Student Support Service’ will make a contribution into school funds. They will make a contribution even if the reply slip says you are not interested! So please return the slips so we can raise some additional funds.

Postponed School Trips



KS1 Multi Skills Club

After an initial funded period we are now able to offer this club to children already involved, for a small fee. The cost will be £15 for 15 sessions between now and the end of the summer term. If you would like your child to continue in these sessions, please send a cheque for the amount into the school office, payable to ‘St. Joseph’s School’.
