Dear Parents/Carers,
 
Harvest Festival - Thursday 2nd October 
Our Harvest Festival is taking place on Thursday 2nd October in the Village church at 9.15 am and parents are welcome to join us. 
 
We are once again supporting the Parish Church in collecting items for their Harvest Festival. Donated items will be shared between the All Together Community in the village and The Chiltern Foodbank. The children can take donations of tinned or long life foods to church 
 
Specific food requested: Tinned fruit • Tinned meat • Tinned vegetables • Tinned custard • Tinned bolognese • Personal toiletries • Rice (500g) • Sardines • UHT milk • Long life juice • Instant coffee •
 
Weekly Attendance
Each week 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 93.6%. The year to date figure is 94.4%
 
School Milk
Please see the attached letter from our supplier CoolMilk, for information about signing your child up for milk every day for the over 5's.
 
Illness
Please be reminded that if your child is unwell and needs Calpol or other pain relief to alleviate symptoms such as a temperature, they should stay off school that day. Thank you for your support.
 
Communication with School
Please can we ask that you include your child's class when communicating with us.
 
School Uniform
Children are to wear plain black SHOES, not boots or trainers and have no logos.
 
Please can children use a book bag rather than a backpack as our cloakrooms are too small to accommodate backpacks. Book bags do not need to have the school logo, they can be plain green. 
 
Infant School Open Days
We are holding tours of the school and nursery on Wednesday 15th October and Wednesday 3rd December. If you know of anyone interested in a place at our school or nursery please ask them to contact the school office to arrange a time.

The Junior School are holding tours of the school on Wednesday 22nd October and Wednesday 12th November. If you or anyone you know is interested please ask them to contact the Junior School office to arrange a time.
