  PTA Update

  After an amazing year of fundraising last year, the PTA have been planning upcoming events, we know the school budget is under significant pressure so our fundraising is vitally important. But we are desperate for more volunteers after losing many committee members to the juniors. It is not a full-time commitment; we just need a few people, some of the roles and support is super flexible. Please come to the AGM to find out more or drop us a message.

   

  • There are some easy ways to help us raise money with just a small amount of admin. Have a look at the attached poster for shopping vouchers, easyfundraising which gives cashback to the PTA.
  • Preloved uniform donations - if you had a sort out over the summer holidays and have good quality items to donate please look out for a PTA member or drop to the infant office
  • Preloved uniform - if there are items you specifically need please drop a message to the Infant PTA on classlist. Otherwise next week we will put out a post with stock available
  • Halloween fancy dress - if you have good quality outgrown outfits please put to one side and we will put out a donation box later in September

  Dear Parents / Carers

   

  We hope that you have all had a good summer and are ready for return to school this Friday

   

  School meal ordering - meals for the Autumn term are available to order on ParentPay. Menus are available here. Please note that we have switched to ordering meals 11 days in advance so that we can give St Joseph's more accurate orders. If you need to cancel a meal on the day, you can still do this by contacting the office by 9am on the day. 

   

  St Joseph's kitchen - we have been advised that there may be some menu changes over the next few days. As soon as we have more details we will let you know.

   

  Lunch boxes - A reminder that we do not allow sweets, fizzy drinks or chocolate bars in our lunchboxes. For advice on how to provide a healthy lunch for your child please see here. We have a number of children attending this school who have a severe allergy to nuts & sesame seeds - including both peanuts and tree-growing nuts.  This allergy is not just triggered through ingestion but can also be via touch and inhalation so we request that no items containing nuts or nut products be brought onto site, either during the school day or before and after school.  This includes birthday treats that get handed out to the children.  Such products also include peanut butter and Nutella / hazelnut chocolate spread and some cereal bars.  Your cooperation on this matter is very much appreciated.
  
  Snacks for morning break - children may bring in a fruit or vegetable snack for morning break. Break-time snacks should be kept in their bags in the class cloakroom

  • All children to go to their class for morning registration at 8:55am (registers close at 9am)
  • Note that the Lagger Close and Hillside Close gates will be locked at 9am and entrance is only via Parsonage Road after that time

  Medicines in school - if your child needs to have medicines in school please contact the school office to contact us to discuss this. If medical needs should change at any point please do contact the School Office. We ask that any meds needed in school are dropped off at the office.

   PTA Update – Thank You for an Incredible Year! 

  What a fantastic year it’s been! We've loved hosting a variety of fun events for children, families, and carers—creating joyful moments for the kids and great opportunities for parents to connect. We hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as we have!

   

  Thanks to your support, we’ve raised an incredible £20,883 this year—all of which goes directly to benefiting our school and children. 

  This year we’ve helped fund an amazing £29,219 worth of projects, including:

   

  • A major contribution to the new playground shelter

  • Classroom resources and Bee-Bots for programming fun

  • Enriching experiences like workshops during the Year 2 Tower of London trip

  • A visit from a professional athlete during Sports Week 

   

  We couldn’t do any of this without our amazing PTA team—and now, we need you! Some of our current committee members are moving on as their children head to juniors, so we’re looking for new friendly faces to join our team. Whether you want to help out occasionally or get more involved, we’d love to hear from you.

  Got fundraising ideas or want to get involved?

   

  Email us at csginfantpta@gmail.com, speak to Jess Allen, Laura Cuss or Abi Mossop or message us on Classlist.
