Dear Parents/Carers,

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.

Parish Christmas Fair – Saturday 30th November
This exciting annual event is an important fundraising and community event for the Parish. The Fair is being held in the Parish Hall on Saturday, 30th November at 2pm and the school will be organising a stall as part of the event. Please come and bring your families.

Book Fair

The Book Fair begins on Monday 2nd December.  This is an opportunity to buy your last minute Christmas presents. Thanks in advance for your support - the commission we receive from sales goes straight back into the school, providing books for the school library.

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, Mr Buck will be setting up a table with lost items in the school playground on Wednesday 4th December from 3.15pm onwards.

Updated Email Addresses

 
 
If your email address has changed, could you please let the office know? Also, if your address, telephone or mobile number has changed, please let the office know in case of emergencies.
