  Fri 12 Dec 2025 Infant School
   Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  Christmas Productions

  It has been a very busy week with all of our Christmas shows. The children were brilliant and we are so proud of each and every one of them! Thank you to everybody who helped to make these events so special. Thank you to our wonderful PTA for supporting these events. If you have taken any pictures or videos of the productions please can we remind you not to post them on social media sites. 

   

  School Emails

  This week we have had a number of parents who hadn't ordered tickets for the school productions and also hadn't ordered the Christmas lunch for their child.  Please can we ask parents to fully read all communications sent from the school in order to avoid your child missing out on important occasions. 

   

  Christmas Jumper Day

  Everyone looked very festive in their Christmas or blue jumpers on Wednesday. Thank you for your donations to Diabetes UK, we have raised £105.50

   

  Science Challenge

  Thank you to everyone who has completed the science challenge for this term.  There have been some wonderful submissions which are on display in the corridor and the Year 2 shared area.  All certificates have been given out but if your child did not receive one, please contact the school office and we will let Mrs Mannion know.

   

  Lunch changes

  Following the email at the beginning of November about lunch changes, please check that you have ordered lunch for your child (if required) for Wednesday 17th December & Friday 19th December.  These were the days orders were deleted and parents had to reorder.  As the ordering window is now closed, if you have not ordered lunch for your child on these days, you will need to provide them with a packed lunch.  

   

  Midday Supervisor role

  We are looking to recruit a midday supervisor on a fixed term basis. If you or anyone you know may be interested in this position please email the school office.

Go to the Payment Amount box on the Payment Screen and enter your donation amount. Thank you.

  Fri 28 Nov 2025 Junior School
  Dear Parents / Carers

   

  It was great to see lots of family members in school for our Family Day event this week. Thank you to the PTA for running the cafe during the event.

   

  Weekly Attendance - attendence at the Junior School has been 96.3% this week and this year to date is 95.8%

   

  Family Day - it was lovely to see so many family members in school this week. We are aware that the booking system had some issues around confirmation of bookings and ease of use, so we will be looking at how we can improve this for the next family day.

   

  Christmas Post Box - the Christmas post box will be out by the main office for children to post their Christmas cards. Please can you ensure that your child's cards are clearly marked with the recipient's full name and class. Thank you to our Year 6 delivery team.

   

  Second hand book fair - children will have a chance to visit our second hand book sale on Thursday and Friday next week. All books will be 50p - if children are bringing in money for the book sale please can this be in small change if possible, in a named envelope and handed to the class teacher at the beginning of the school day. Please can all donations be delivered to school by Monday 1st December
  
  If there are books remaining, by the end of the day on Friday, the sale will be open to parents and carers briefly after school on the Friday.

   

  Head lice - we currently have some cases of head lice in school. Please could we ask you to check your child's hair regularly and treat it if required. We ask that long hair is always tied back. Please see here for NHS information 

   

  Messages - if you can include your child's name and class in any messages sent in to school that is really helpful in making sure the message goes to the correct person in a timely manner. Thank you

   

  Parental Communication via Email - we aim to respond to emails within two working days. However parents should be aware that this is not always possible if a member of staff is, for example, ill, works part-time or is on a training course. Staff, other than office staff, are only expected to check their emails once a day so that they can focus on learning and teaching.

   

  Warehouse Clearance sale - a massive thank you to both PTAs for running the fundraising sale last weekend. There was a huge amount of work involved but they raised about £3,000 that will be split across the two school PTAs

• Infant - Weekly Email - Friday 21st November

  Fri 21 Nov 2025 Infant School
  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  Weekly Attendance

  Each week we will let you know the weekly attendance for the whole school. We are aiming for an average of 96% this year. This week, attendance was 96.1%, year to date 94.1%

   

  Christmas Jumper Day-Wednesday 10th December

  This year we are supporting Diabetes UK. Children are invited to wear their school uniform with a Christmas jumper, their own jumper they have decorated or a blue jumper for a suggested donation of £1.

   

  Girls boots

  Several parents have enquired about whether girls are able to wear boots as we move to the colder months. We acknowledge that, in general, girls' school shoes tend to be more open and limited in style than boys which is less practical for the cold weather. With this in mind, we will trial allowing girls to wear boots in the winter months. However, there are some conditions to bear in mind:

   

  • They need to remain plain black, without embellishments
  • They must be flat, with no heel
  • If they are laced, the children must be able to do them up themselves
  • They should be no higher than mid calf height, and preferably no higher than ankle height

   

  We will review this in the new year.

   

  Pantomime Cinderella 

  M&M Productions will be bringing their live pantomime to our school in January - details have been sent home. We are asking for a donation of £4.60 but the payment item on ParentPay will give you the option to donate any amount between £2.30 and £10 for this event. Go to the Payment Amount box on the Payment Screen and enter your donation amount. Thank you
