Office Hours and Reminders
Firstly, thank you to everyone for the patience and cooperation with the new office set up. So far it seems to be going very smoothly.
The route to the school office will change with a new gate being put in by the village playground. This will stop access during school time through the reception playground. We will notify you of the change when the work is completed.
Also, just a reminder that parents should not be walking through the school to access their children’s classroom. The new entrance foyer has a secure key pad system for staff use only. Therefore, if you visit the office you will need to go back outside to access your child’s classroom. You will not be able to pass through the office area.
Hilltop and Jarman Centre
Many thanks to all those parents who have sent in deposits for the Year 6 trip to Hilltop and the Year 5 trip to the Jarman Centre. These are now booked and going ahead. The Year 6 Hilltop trip will be from Monday, 21st June to Wednesday, 23rd June and the Year 5 Jarman Centre trip will be from Wednesday, 24th March to Friday, 26th March.
It would be helpful if parents started making monthly payments on these trips with their child’s paying in books.
Next Friday, 20th November, is ‘Children In Need’. Two things will be happening that day:
- Non uniform – cost 50p – come in spots if at all possible.
- Cake stall at morning break time. All cakes either 20p or 10p.
If possible, we would appreciate as many cakes, biscuits or popcorn as possible on the day in order to sell to the children at break time. Please bring your contribution to school either Thursday afternoon up to 4.30pm or first thing Friday morning.
Operation Christmas Child
Many thanks for all the lovely boxes we have already received. If you need any spare leaflets, there are some in the office. They will be collecting the boxes from us on Monday, 23rd November so they need to be to the school office by 9.00am that morning.
Best wishes
