Dear Parents/Carers,

Supervision

Can I remind all parents that we cannot offer direct supervision of children until 8.55am or after school (unless children are with the Extended School Club) when children are in the playground (or hall if wet). This means that whilst we always aim to have a member of staff available, we cannot watch every child, and cannot offer direct supervision of your children, until they are collected by their class teachers.

We are encouraging all parents to receive newsletters via email and make  payments online through the ‘School Gateway’ which includes Extended School Club, Dinner Money, School Trips, School Camp and Music Tuition.  If we do not have your email address already, could you please return the slip at the bottom of this newsletter.

Individual Photographs

Individual photos will take place on Thursday 1
st October.

Inhalers

We still have a number of children who have not brought back their inhalers after the summer holidays.  May I remind parents to send in their child’s inhaler on Monday 28th September.
