Chalfont St Giles Village School is taking part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning!
Friday 25th September 2020
In these complex times charity needs supporting more than ever and this is a cause that is very close to ALL our hearts in the Village School family.
Children will be provided with a drink, cake and a lovely time within their bubble! All we ask in return is that you make a donation to this worthy cause.
Due to the current restrictions, we ask that donations preferably be made online, directly to Macmillan using our fundraising page here
Alternatively, there will be clearly labelled buckets available in all the school playgrounds where you may drop off your donations which we will then handle in a ‘covid friendly’ way!
Dogs on the school run
Some children do not like dogs and are worried by having to be close to them along paths and walkways. If at all possible, please leave your dog at home and if they are with you on the walk to school please be considerate of others. Dogs are not allowed onto the school site.
Nursery Drop Off Times
If your child is in Red Group please could you drop your child off at 08.55, for Blue Group the time is 09.05. Due to the width of the path by the side of Nursery we request that you arrive on time and leave promptly. This is to allow you to socially distance and keep yourself safe.
Site Security
The school buildings including the main entrance are out of bounds to parents. Should you require support from the school office please contact us on the number below from outside the gate and a member of staff will come out to meet you.
Accident Free in CSG
Junior School- Thank you to those who have been parking at the playing fields and thoughtfully on Bowstridge Lane.
You should have all received a car pass for Blizzards Yard Car Park (behind the Coop) by now, but if you haven’t; please contact the school office.
Infant School- If you could all park in Blizzards Yard car park (behind the Coop). You should have received a free car pass, but if you haven’t; please contact the school office.
There is also parking available in the village, rather than drive up School Lane or park on Silver Hill.
Please do not park in the Memorial Car Park, the slope on the Memorial Car Park or across Crossing Corner. This should be kept clear at all times so your children can cross safely.
Public Health England launches Every Mind Matters campaign
Public Health England have asked us to share the following information with you.
Most families have experienced upheaval in their daily lives during the pandemic. With children and young people now back at school or college, the new Public Health England (PHE) Better Health – Every Mind Matters campaign provides NHS-endorsed tips and advice to help children and young people’s mental wellbeing, and equip parents and carers with the knowledge to support them.
The new advice available on the Every Mind Matters website has been developed in partnership with leading children and young people’s mental health charities, including Young Minds, The Mix, Place2Be and The Anna Freud Centre. It is designed to help parents and carers spot the signs that children may be struggling with their mental health and support them, and also provides advice that can help maintain good mental wellbeing. The site also provides tools to help young people build resilience and equips them to look after their mental wellbeing
I hope you have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine again.
Love Mrs Peal
