Dear Parents,
Another busy half term comes to an end- where does the time go? At least the weather looks good for half term- far from the ‘beast from the east’ that arrived this time last year.
I have set out some information, that I hope you will find useful.
Inset Days
April 12th will be our next inset day. It is the Friday before Easter and so the last day for pupils will be Thursday April 11th. All staff will be having safeguarding training using the My Concern Software to record concerns. We will all be back on Monday 29th April.
Our last inset day will be Monday 22nd of July and so school will close for the summer holiday on Friday 19th of July.
Parents Meetings
Mid-year parents meetings will be the first week back after half term. If you still need an appointment, please contact the office asap.
School App & Website
We know that over 200 of you have downloaded the app so far. If you haven’t, please do so as soon as you can. There is an update due and we will then be able to prioritise year groups for specific messages.
Remember to visit the website. We are now posting all the letters we send out under newsletters so if you can check regularly you’ll know if you’ve missed any updates. The children’s blog usually contains some interesting reports and the parents latest news has items we hope you’ll find will tell you about what is going on in school. Calendar dates also give you updates on class items and events.
Uniform
Please remember uniform must be worn. The children should be in school colours. We will be asking them why they are not in uniform after half term.
Jewellery should not be worn for health and safety reasons. Recently we have seen a significant increase in neck chains, bracelets and rings, please ensure they are not worn after half term as children will be asked to take them off.
Mobile Phones
Any mobile phones should be handed into the office for safe keeping. If a child is found to have a phone in class the following will take place. The first time it will be taken to the office to be collected by the child at the end of the day. Any further times phones are found in class, it will be confiscated and you will be asked to collect it. There is no need for mobile phones in class.
