Dear Parent/Carers,
You may be aware that a number of public sector trades unions have balloted for industrial action in connection with the government’s proposals to introduce fundamental changes to the relevant pension schemes. Members of the unions involved are being called upon to take strike action on Wednesday 30 November 2011.
This is proposed as a national day of action and the dispute is not with the school or local authority. The majority of teaching staff and a significant number of support staff in schools are members of unions proposing strike action.
In consultation with the Chair of Governors, I have made the decision that due to the number of staff taking industrial action on 30th November; regrettably it will not be possible to open the school to the children on that day.
If the planned action is called off, this situation will obviously change. We will keep you updated with any developments in the situation and inform you immediately, if it is possible to open the school on that day.
Best wishes

Dear Parent/Carers,
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT INDUSTRIAL ACTION WILL AFFECT THE SCHOOL ON THE 30th NOVEMBER. WE WILL UPDATE YOU AS SOON AS WE HAVE ANY INFORMATION.
St Joseph’s CD
‘Sing Together’ - At last our school singing CD has been completed! The winners of the cover design were announced; the CDs have been manufactured and finally put together. I am sure that you can’t wait to hear it! They will make perfect Christmas presents for the family.
CDs cost £6.00 (which works out at 60p per track, comparable to iTunes). There are only 100 cds so do buy quickly to avoid disappointment.
They will be on sale in the playground before school starts from Tuesday 22nd November to Friday 25th November from members of the choir, or you can enclose a cheque made payable to St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School.
Lost Property
A reminder that this is now situated in a large blue box in the main school entrance.
Mrs Wendy Petela
Mrs. Petela (also known to many as Akela), is formally being received into the Catholic Church at St Joseph's Church on Sunday 20th November during the 10.00am Mass. Mrs. Petela is also being confirmed. Everybody is welcome to attend the Mass which will be followed by refreshments in the parish hall.
Teacher Assessment Time
We are really pleased that Miss Wright has returned to school recently teaching different classes. This is because each teacher has been spending a day working with small groups of children assessing their skills, knowledge and understanding. This has been a really valuable use of time and will help teachers plan for children even more effectively.
Community Carols Around the Tree
On Tuesday 13th December from 3.40-4.40pm, there will be Community Carols Around the Tree followed by mince pies. This was a great Christmas celebration last year and everybody is welcome.

Attendance so far this year has improved significantly on the same period last year. A big thank you all for your support – every day in school counts!
Medical Appointments

To support this we are planning a non uniform day for Friday 26th November with children donating a packet or box of sweets.
PE Kit: Footwear
Increasingly we have lots of children coming into school without the correct footwear for PE. All children should have PE daps or trainers specifically for PE. We will be writing to parents individually if children do not have the correct kit in school.
Christmas Lunch
Our school Christmas lunch will be on Thursday 8th December. The kitchen will need to know how many to cater for and whether any children want the vegetarians option. Could you please let the office know by Monday 21st November if you would like to order a Christmas lunch for your child.
