Dear Parent/Carer,

Y6 - Information Sessions about Secondary Transfer

An information session for parents of Year 6 children will be held this Monday - 22nd October at 3.30pm in the school hall. This session will be provided by the local authority and will last approximately 40mins. Supervision for siblings will be provided in the computer room.

Updated Contacts/Medical

If your child’s contact details or any new medical conditions have changed since the end of last term, could you please let the office know as soon as possible.

Religious Education Overviews

These will be sent home next week. Please use them as a family to support your child’s learning and help them on their spiritual journey.

Parent Information SessionsThese sessions will begin next week and will allow teachers to meet parents together (without the children) and explain issues that are relevant to their year group, such as homework and the curriculum. The dates are at the end of this letter.

The Y3/4 session has been postponed. A new date will be in next week’s newsletter.
Lost PropertyMr. Pitt will place all lost property on a table in the playground every Thursday. All labelled property will be returned to owners (PLEASE LABEL CLOTHING). Any remaining clothing will be sold at the end of the term to raise money for educational visits.

Help Needed!

Would you like to come into school to support children with their reading or other area of learning? Do you have skills which could benefit the children and the school community? If you have a bit of time to come into school and help please see myself, the school office or another member of staff.

Together we will continue to build a better school!

Best wishes

Matt Condon
