The members of the St Josephs PTFA would like to express their sincere thanks to all the parents and children who attended the School Disco Friday 21st May.

Sign Up Consent Forms
Thank you to all parents who have filled in the Sing Up Safeguarding Data Protection and Privacy Statements consent slip. All those who have not yet filled in a consent form, or who only filled it in for one child (when there are other siblings at school), please fill in and send back to the school office as soon as possible. It is very important that we receive these forms as I am unable to continue with our Gold Award Evidence Form without them. If you have lost your original form, please get a second copy from the school office. Many thanks in anticipation,
C, Marsh (Sing Up Champion).
Gardening Club
The Gardening Club are holding an afternoon tea and plant sale on Thursday 10th June at 3.00pm. The children have been busy preparing pots of flowering plants as well as vegetable seedlings which will be on sale.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Dealing with Disagreements
If any parent has a significant concern which relates to children or the parents/carers of children attending the school, then the school must be informed so that appropriate action can be taken.
If parents/carers decide to take action without the school’s support (on or off the school premises) then a great deal of unnecessary upset can be caused. These situations are obviously very difficult to deal with, but in extreme cases the school can take preventative action by restricting adults’ access to the school and its grounds.
Obviously we hope that if we all treat each other with respect and consideration, the school does not have to take such action.
School Attendance
Well done to Mrs Patton’s, Mrs Bell’s and Mr Sherwin’s class for achieving over 94% attendance, Miss Wright’s and Mr Conlon’s classes for achieving almost 96% attendance and Mrs Ford’s class up from 94% last week to 97%!
Good attendance this year will be celebrated in a special assembly on Monday 28th June.
Special Ethiopia Assembly
On Friday 21st May at 9.15am, we will be holding a special assembly launching a new project supporting the charity ‘for-ethiopia’. During Christmas of last year, Jack and Ben Underhill visited the village of Addis Alem with their family. This is the community which St. Joseph’s has supported over the years through a range of fund raising activities, including the famous Water Walks! In this assembly Jack and Ben will present an amazing film they made during their visit and we will talk about plans for the future, which include learning partnerships and Water Walk 2010! Please come and join us and learn about our plans and this fascinating country.
For parents who are unable to attend the morning’s assembly, the film will also be shown in school on Friday afternoon at 3pm.
Bike Ride
Bristol's biggest bike ride takes place on Sunday 20th June. This is a great opportunity to join in with the rest of Bristol on a fun bike ride of your choice – the rides range from 9 to 38 miles. Check out
