Dear Parent/Carer,

Site Security – Serious Incident

An incident occurred yesterday where a child managed to exit the school premises for a short space of time. Staff were alerted immediately and the child, who was happy and unharmed, was quickly found by a member of staff and their parents were contacted.

Whilst we and the child’s parents believe that this was a ‘freak’ incident, and that our site security has always been judged to be very good, we are obviously greatly concerned that no such incident ever happens again. We are taking advice and will take any additional precautions deemed necessary to make site security even better. We will keep you informed as we expect some of the changes to affect parent access to the school, during the school day.

Ziz-Zag Lines

Parking on these Zig Zag lines puts lives at risks. It may save a couple of minutes of time, but it endangers children. Please don’t do it!

Playground & Security

Can I please remind you PARENTS MUST ONLY ENTER THE SCHOOL THROUGH THE MAIN ENTRANCE. Children or staff must not open any outside doors for anyone. Also children must exit the school via allocated doors – not the main school entrance.

Internet Safety

It is important that children’s use of the internet is monitored at home. In particular, children’s use of social networking sites. Next week is E-Safety Week where the children will be learning more about how to use the internet safely.

Topic Presentations

These are short presentations where classes talk about their topic learning. These are not full assemblies and not all children will always have a speaking role. We would like to invite parents to these presentations later in Term 2. Please see dates for diaries.

Lost Property

Our lost property box which is situated in the porch at the front entrance is beginning to overflow. It is full of jumpers, coats, fleeces etc. If you are missing any of these items please come and check the box, as it will be emptied by the end of next week. All items will be sent to a charity shop or recycled.

Toy Sale and Cake Sale

Year 6 will be having a toy sale on Wednesday 31st January at 2.45pm and a cake sale on Friday 22nd February at 2.45pmto raise money  for their school trip.

Celebration Assembly

There will be a celebration assembly on Monday 28th January, at 3pm where the following children will receive a headteachers award: Meikel Quirke, Mackenzie Sawers, Lewis Hodder, Szymon Lewkowicz, Meigan Westlake, Rachel Butcher, Jakub Meus, Melvin Mathew, Edwin Sebastian, Will Scammell , Rochelle Christian, Oliver Mooney and Rimmon Joseph.
