Dear Parents/Carers,

Registering for Pupil Premium
Letters have gone home this week to parents about this additional funding. It would be very useful if all parents could sign the letter saying if they are interested or not in registering for the Pupil Premium.

Online Newsletter
Just a reminder that the school Blog (online diary) and the weekly newsletter are available via the school website (the address is on the letterhead). If you no longer want to receive a paper copy, let the school office know. Let’s save paper!

Prospective Parents Tours
There will be tours for prospective parents for September 2015. The dates are:

       Tuesday 23rd September at 10am
       Wednesday 1st October at 2pm
       Wednesday 8th October at 10am
       Thursday 16th October at 2pm

After School Clubs
There are still places for:
       KODU on Monday – years 5/6
       Choir on Tuesday – years 3/6
       Indoor Games Tuesday – years 3/6
       There are 10 places available for KS2  (Years 3/6) Football

Staff Training Days (school closed)
A fourth staff training day has been planned for Monday 2nd February 2014. We have one more training day and will let you know the date as soon as possible.

PE and PE  Kits
Can I take this opportunity to remind all parents and carers about the school PE Kit?
(PE kit should be in school all week).

       PE kit should be complete and labelled – plain white t shirt, navy shorts, daps and/or trainers for outdoor PE.
       If the incorrect PE kit is taken home accidentally – please send it back immediately. We have too many kits that are going missing!
       If due to medical reasons your child is unable to do PE, you need to send a note to your child's class teacher. Please ensure the letter includes details of how long your child is unable to do PE for.

Lateness
A reminder that pupils should be in school between 8.45am and 8.55am. If you child arrives after 8.55am they will be classed as late and after this time all pupils must come through the ‘Main Entrance’ and report to the office. This for the safety of your child.

We all thank you for your continuing support in this matter.

Eden School Dinner Menu
This is now available on the school website. Click on the information link on the bottom of the main page and then the link is on the right of the information page.

Governor Vacancies
Vacancies have arisen for a Foundation Governor and a Parent Governor.  For further information please contact Fr Paul or our school secretary with your name and contact number and a governor will get back to you.

Attendance
Well done to Mrs. Ford’s class with 99% attendance and Miss Garnier’s with 98% attendance last week. Mrs Ford’s class will have a special non-uniform day on Friday 19th September.
