Junior - Weekly email - Friday 1st September

Dear Parents / Carers
 
We hope that everyone has had a lovely summer break and that you are all ready for the start of the new term next Tuesday (5th September).
 
ParentMail - Parents of new starters should have received a login link for ParentMail. Children will be moved into their correct class groups once term has begun. Should you have any queries that you cannot resolve via the Parentmail online help system, please email the office and we will aim to resolve these.

School meals - details of children's food allergies will be updated on ParentMail. Please inform the School Office of any food allergies that we may need to be aware of, or any changes that may occur over the year.

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.
 
ClassList - the new classes and Class Parents have been set up for the new school year. If you would like to be added to ClassList please contact the school office.
 
School clubs - our clubs change each term. Sign up forms for the Autumn Term School run clubs will be sent out next week. Clubs will start during the week of 25th September, apart from Breakfast Club and Morning Maths that start on Tuesday 5th September, so there will be plenty of time to sign up. Details of all of our Autumn term clubs are available here
 
We now have details for PFO club and can confirm that this club will be running for all year groups on Mondays after school - details here
 
There has not been sufficient uptake for Chess to run after school on Mondays so this club will not be running this term
