Dear Parent and Carers,

Camp 2012


Welcome back to the group of Year 5 and 6 pupils and staff who returned early from the Forest of Dean yesterday evening. This was due to a significant outbreak of sickness Wednesday evening and the forecast of heavy snow in the Forest of Dean area.

INSET Day

The school will be closed on Monday 20th February for staff training. The school will reopen on Tuesday 21st February.

School Uniform

We now have a new supplier for school uniform - the details of which are attached to this newsletter.

Child Care Provision - Childminders

We are compiling a list of registered childminders to pass onto parents and carers. If you are, or know of, a good registered childminder, please let the school office know

Child Care Provision – before and after school (consultation)

Recently some parents have expressed interest in the school having its own before school and after school child care arrangements. If the school were able to provide any such provision it would however be at a cost. If you would be interested in using any such provision in the future, please contact the school office. We will then decide, based on the interest, whether it is viable to introduce such childcare in the future.

Currently we have only had one parent who has shown interest in the school providing its own childcare provision.

　
Netball

Netball resumes after half term for years three, four, five and six and will run until Easter. The cost will be £2.50 per session. If your child is interested in playing netball, they can collect a consent form from the office. There are only 30 places available, so it will be on a first come first serve basis.

Cash/Cheques in School

In order to improve school efficiency and avoid possible confusion, please could any cash or cheques coming into school be sent in with your child in a sealed envelope marked with your child's name, class, amount and reason for the payment. Could I also request that all payments, including dinner money payments, be sent into school on Monday of each week. Thank you for your co-operation.

Attendance

Well done to Mr Sherwin’s class, Mrs Joseph’s, and Mrs Patton’s class with 98% attendance last week.
