Please check your emails and child’s bag, as letters informing you of the procedures for our upcoming Parent Feedback Appointments are being sent out today.

The appointments are on Thursday 7th July:

2 – 5pm for year 1 Fireflies (Reception Parents receive a written report instead to summarise end of the Early Years Curriculum attainment).

1 – 7pm for all other classes.

Please note, that due to the Scorpions Residential there will be no Well Done Assembly this Friday – 24th June.

Due to a clash with secondary school Year 7 transition days, that we have only just been informed of, we are having to rearrange our Sports Day to Wednesday 29th June, 10am to Noon.

We do apologise for any inconvenience, but it is important that our year 6 pupils get the opportunity to participate in their last Sports Day – especially following the disruption of the past two years.

We will be asking secondary schools to keep us more informed of these events in the future, so that we can plan our summer events without clashing.

The children will be bringing home a slip for ordering the Class photographs which were taken in May. This has a black and white print of the photograph. If you would like to see a colour copy of these, please call at the school office where we have copies which can be viewed.

Can we please remind parents that sweets, chocolates and nuts are not acceptable as snacks or in packed lunches.  It is really important that we encourage healthy eating, which we do as part of our science and RSHE curriculum – and there is also a safety aspect, particularly with lollipops (choking hazard) and nuts (we have a pupil with severe nut allergy and are therefore a ‘NUT FREE’ school.

We would really appreciate your support with this…thank you.

We are looking forwards to celebrating the Platinum Jubilee tomorrow afternoon!

Don’t forget to bring your picnic blankets or chairs, and that children can wear red/white/blue clothing tomorrow instead of school uniform.

It is a very informal afternoon – simply a chance for the school community to get together, share a coffee, cake and chat.  Children will initially sit in their classes, but are welcome to join families when you arrive.  We will be playing the National Anthem at about 2.15pm, which will be the signal for children to go and play on the coned off area of the field if they wish to do so.

At 3pm, children will return to the classrooms for a normal end of day procedure.  IMPORTANT: Please let us know if you are planning on collecting your child if they are usually on the bus.

We have had an amazing response from families wishing to join us for afternoon tea on Thursday to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

Due to the numbers we are going to hold the event as a giant picnic…so please bring along your picnic chairs or blankets, and we will provide refreshments. This is a perfect opportunity for us all to get together informally and enjoy celebrating such a special occasion.

The tea party will be held on the junior playground and field from 2-3pm. Children will initially sit with their class but are welcome to join families when you arrive. This will be a lovely opportunity for everyone to socialise for the first time in over 2 years!

At 3pm, children will go back to their classrooms for a normal end of day collection. If your child usually goes home on the bus and you are joining us for the afternoon and would like to collect your child at 3.15 rather than they return home on the bus, please do let us know in advance!

Can we please remind parents of the importance of being considerate when parking to drop-off or collect children.  Please do not park on the narrow road behind the Station Rd houses, and please don’t park on the grassy area at the end of this row.

Please note that we have had to rearrange our planned Sports morning – it is now on Tuesday 28th June – not 5th July.

Can we kindly request that parents in the village spread the word that school kindly requests that all dogs are kept off the school grounds at all times – as we have had some recent instances of dog foulling.  This is totally unacceptable, and is also a health issue, and is unfair on the children, who love playing on the school fields.

We are looking forward to our afternoon tea party on Thursday 26^th May at 2pm, to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year.  In order to plan for this we do need to know numbers in advance.  Therefore, if you and your family are planning on joining us can you please complete the attached reply slip and return to the School Office by Friday 20^th May at the latest please.
