Juior - Weekly email - Friday 22nd March

Dear Parents / Carers
 
Well done to Year 4 for a brilliant assembly on Wednesday. They had clearly all worked really hard on their assembly which was both informative and entertaining,
 
Congratulations to everyone involved in the Music and Arts Show on Wednesday. It was so lovely to see all of the children enjoying their performances, as one parent said they looked so happy to be taking part. Thank you to Mr Holmes for managing this event.
 
Well done to the boys U11s team who won 5-0 against Holtspur School yesterday and good luck to the U10s who have their quarter final game against Holmer Green this afternoon.

Photography - On Wednesday (27th) we will have external photographers from Edupic visiting both school sites to update images for our website and other marketing materials. We are aware from the Consents and Permission forms completed by parents on their child's admission to school which pupils have permission to be photographed. We will ensure that these are closely followed. Please can we ask that you ensure your children are wearing the correct uniform/ PE Kit and are smartly presented on this day. A link to our uniform guidelines can be found here. If you have any further queries than please contact the school office.
 
Lost Property box - a reminder that the main lost property box in the Dining Hall will be emptied over Easter. Please check if you are missing any items.
 
School Uniform ties do not need to be worn after in the summer term
 
Junior School Amazon Wish List - for future gifts, it is always lovely to know who has sent them so we can thank you properly! The link to the gift list can be found here https://amzn.eu/fVdAqFF. Thank you to the kind family that sent in some copies of The Boy who Biked the World.
