Dear Parents/Carers

Staff Training Days (school closed)

Our 2 remaining staff training days for this academic year have been confirmed and are in 'dates for diaries'. A staff training day has also been planned for September and is in dates for diaries' too.

End of School Day

An increasing amount of children are regularly being collected late from school. The school day ends at 3.30pm. We obviously dont mind if children are occasionally collected late but the growing amount of children who are still in school at 3.40pm is a concern.

Rags to Riches

Our school is hosting a fundraising event in association with Rags2Riches4Schools.

Rags2Riches4Schools is an easy and efficient way to earn some additional cash that will be added to our school's funds through recycling old clothes.

From baby wear to teenage hand-me-downs to Grandad's shoes, all items of clothing and accessories are welcome. Bags, hats, belts, scarves and gloves all count - pretty much anything wearable. All we ask is for them to be clean and in good condition and for the shoes to be tied together (Nobody wants to walk around in odd shoes!). Unfortunately pillows and duvets are not accepted at this time. 

Everyone will be presented with a free Rags2Riches4Schools collection bag tomorrow.  If a single bag is not enough, feel free to pop them into any bag you have to hand. Please bring any donations to school first thing on Monday 28th April, and please not before that date.

St Georges Day

On Wednesday 23rd April, all Rainbow, Beavers, Brownies, Cubs, Guides and Scouts may wear their uniforms to school to celebrate St Georges Day.

Attendance

Well done to the following class for their attendance last week.

        Reception with an amazing 99%!
Reception will have a special non-uniform day on Thursday 3rd April. 

CES Adopting

Join Catholic Childrens Society Adoption, your local adoption charity, on Wednesday 16th April at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm for an Easter Egg Hunt to launch their 110 year anniversary celebrations. The Egg Hunt is free to enter for anyone visiting Noah's Ark Zoo Farm (entry fees apply), and will take place from 11.30-2.30pm. We hope to see you there! If you are interested in finding out more about adoption please visit our website at www.ccsadoption.org

Cake Sales

We will be holding a cake sale on Thursday3rd April at 3.30pm in the school hall. This is the same day as our tea/coffee afternoon at 2.45pm, so parents could come in for a chat and a drink first.  I am happy to say that we now have 3 parents who are willing to help out.

Please can children bring in donated cakes on Wednesday afternoon or on the Thursday morning. Thanks for your support.

Celebration of Achievements

There will be a celebration assembly on Monday 31st March at 9.10am where the following children will receive their Headteachers Award:  Julia (Y4), Libby (Y4), Alana (Y3), Patty (Y3), Marlen (Y3), Jaimie (Y3) and Jerin (Y2).
