Dear Parent/Carer,

INSET
A reminder that the school will be closed to children for staff training this Thursday and Friday (26th and 27th May).  The school will reopen on Monday 6th June.

Library
Children have been allowed to take books home from our school library this year.  These are not always coming back into school and we have noticed that many are missing.  During the first week of next half term, we are having the library catalogued and all books placed onto a computer system so it is really important that we have all library books accounted for. Please could you check at home for any library books and bring them in immediately, before the holiday.  Thank you.

Extended School Club (ESC)
Following numerous enquiries we will be extending the after-school club until 5.30 every day after half term. Booking for term 6 is now open on the School Gateway. If you are interested in using the ESC and haven’t already registered, then please do pick up a form from the School Office as children need to complete a Registration Form before they can use the ESC. We hope you will find the longer hours meet your needs. We will review the demand towards the end of the summer term.

Celebration  Assembly
There will be a celebration assembly on Monday 16th May, where the following children will receive their headteacher’s award:  Alfie, Libby (Y6), Cheyenne (Y5), Jerin, Jakub (Y4), Aiden (Y3), Rachel, Grace (Y2), Nnaemeka, Elsa, Zachary (Y1), Lara, Alison (Rec)

Super Stars: Amira (Rec), Justina (Y1), Kieran (Y2), Alicia (Y2), Harry (Y2), Jessica (Y3), Charlie (Y5), Claudia (Y6), Sophia (Y1), Rachel (Y2)

Playground news
Please supervise younger children carefully, especially on the monkey bars. A couple of accidents have happened when children in the infants have used this equipment. We are closely supervising it during playtimes, please be aware of this risk and supervise your children if you allow them to use the monkey bars after school.

I hope you all have a lovely relaxing week, and that we get some fine weather!

Dear Parent/Carer,


KS2 SATs

There will be no Celebration Assembly this coming Monday due to the beginning of the End of Key Stage Two tests.  The Year Six children have all be working very hard preparing for their tests and we wish them the best of luck.

Job Vacancies:

SMSA We are looking for a new School Meals Supervisory Assistant (SMSA) to work 12-1.30pm Monday-Friday. Please ask at the School Office if you are interested.

School Crossing Patrol
We are looking for a school crossing patrol officer to start as soon as possible.  They would be helping children cross Forest Road.  The hours will be 8.30 – 9.15, then 3.15 – 4.00. Please ask at the School Office if you are interested

Extended School Club (ESC)

From the start of Term 6 (6th June) children will be able to stay at the Extended School Club (ESC) until 5.30pm.  Parents and carers who want to pick their children up before 5pm will still be able to book these sessions for £3.50.  Alternatively parents will be able to book their children onto longer sessions costing a total of £5 a session (i.e. an extra £1.50 per session) if they want to pick their children up between 5 and 5.30pm.  Any children not collected before 5pm will be charged the extra £1.50.  Booking for Term 6 will open on the School Gateway in a few weeks’ time (we will let you know exactly when nearer the time).  In the meantime if you want to find out more about ESC then please ask in the School Office.  If you are interested in using the ESC and haven’t already registered then please pick up a form from the School Office as children need to complete a Registration Form before they can use the ESC.

Lateness

Can I remind parents and carers that the school day ends at 3.30pmWe appreciate that occasionally children are collected late due to unforeseen circumstances. However, it is unacceptable when children are collected late on a regular basis.
