Lateness
This morning 15 children arrived late
for school! This level of lateness is unacceptable. Lateness is causing real
disruption in class and is often upsetting for the children who are late. Can I
please ask all parents to ensure their children are ready to line up for school
at 8.55am. Where lateness is an ongoing concern, we will be asking parents to
come into school and discuss matters further.
Dangerous Driving
It has been reported that parents
have been driving at high speed up Chatsworth Road. In one incident a toddler
narrowly missed being knocked over. Please can you all drive carefully so that
everybody is safe.
Residents
Can parents show consideration and
not park in front of residents’ drives, as we have had several recent
complaints.
Children in Need
Well done to everyone who supported
Children in Need. We raised an amazing
£182.20.
Kurtis Henry’s Project in Kenya
£188.05 was raised towards Kurtis
Henry’s amazing opportunity to go to Kenya in February to build a primary
school in the slums of Nairobi.
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 ask that all payments, including dinner money payments,
be sent into school on Monday morning of each week. We will only accept money
on this day in a marked envelope. Thank you for your co-operation.
Payment Envelopes
We have payment envelopes for sale
from the school office - £1.50 for 50 or £2.50 for 100.
