Thank you for attending the meeting. Here is the PowerPoint from the evening.

Dear Parents

We have had a really positive first week back at school. The children have returned refreshed from their break and have settled back in to school. We have a 12 week Spring Term for lots of valuable learning.

Thank you for making sure your child is in correct uniform every day and for sending them in with a water bottle. Please could you make sure that their water bottles are plastic and not glass. Some bottles appear to be thick plastic but are in fact glass and there have been some accidents resulting in broken and sharp glass. 

Thank you for your support with this.

Just a reminder that there are 2 training days this term, both of which have been notified since the beginning of September.

Wednesday 8th February

Wednesday 22nd March - This is parents' consultation day and the day that the children's full records of Achievement are provided. 

We break up for February half term on Friday 17th February.

We break up for Easter on Friday 31st March. 

I hope that these reminders are useful. 

Have a lovely weekend. 

Dear Parents

We currently have a vacancy for a lunchtime supervisor position in key stage 2. The role is for 1 hour a day, 5 days a week. 

If you would like to apply, please collect an application pack from the school office from tomorrow, Thursday 5th January.

Employment is dependent on a satisfactory interview, 2 satisfactory references and a clear DBS check. Incomplete application forms will not be considered. 

Closing date for applications is Friday 13th January. 

 

Many of you will have seen yesterday and today on the news, the tragedy in Solihull where a number of children fell through ice on a frozen lake. Sadly, 3 of those children aged 8, 10 and 11 have died.  A 6 year old is still in a critical condition and others are being searched for. 

Our thoughts go out to the families and the community affected by this dreadful tragedy.

As the weather conditions are likely to remain at freezing and icy for a while, please talk to your children about the dangers of walking on ice covered lakes and ponds and make sure you know where they are going to play when they are out without an adult. 

Thank you.

A very warm welcome back to everyone. After a long summer break we are back with a strong focus on teaching and learning. We are hopeful that there will be no disruptions to the school term due to Covid infections, but we will have to wait and see how the winter develops. 

Please help us to maximise learning time by making sure your child arrives at school on time every day. 10 minutes late each day adds up to almost an hour of lost learning each week. 

Please also make sure your child attends every day unless they are really unwell. They can come to school with a light cold, sore throat or headache. We will look after them and phone you if they deteriorate and need to come home. Often, a dose of paracetamol before school will help them get through the day.

We are here to help, so if you have any questions please pop in and see us or phone or email your child's teacher.
