  • Weekly email - Friday 23rd February

    Fri 23 Feb 2024 CSG Junior School
    Dear Parents / Carers
     
    Welcome back to a busy half term!
    We hope that children have enjoyed our Arts Week exploring art inspired by celebrating 100 years of Disney. 
     
    Chiltern Young Artists Competition - congratulations to Matthew in Year 6 and Alfie in Year 5 who both won prizes in the recent Chiltern Young Artists competition. The winning pictures will be on display in Chalfont St Peter library from Monday 18th March
     
    Governor Vacancy - One of our school governors, Ms Svensson, has stepped down from the governing board.  We thank her for her contribution to the school and are now looking for someone to replace her.  This is not an elected position but is open to any parent or other member of the community to apply. The vacancy will be filled following a meeting with a small group of governors who will want to find out more about you and what you can offer the school. The main requirements are an interest in education, a willingness to learn, question and challenge, and a motivation to help make CSG Village School as excellent as it can possibly be.  You also need to be able to commit 2-4 hours a week during term time, ideally some of which will be during the school day.  In return, you get to learn a lot about how the school operates, be involved in important decisions affecting the children and staff and be part of an enthusiastic and committed team. If you are interested, please contact me via either school office or via the school website https://www.csgvillageschool.org/feedback-form-1/ to discuss or to apply. Donna Westall, Chair of Governors
     
     
    Lunchtime job opportunity at the Infant School - Are you currently thinking that now is a great time to get a part time job that fits into your child's school hours? We are currently looking to recruit lunchtime staff to work with the Infant children helping them with their food and their playground time.  It is for 1 hr 45 mins Monday to Friday (11.45am - 1.30pm). Please contact either School Office if you or anyone you know would be interested in joining our school family. 
     
    World Book Day - as part of our celebrations for World Book Day on Thursday 7th March 2024, we would like to invite your children to come to school dressed as an exciting word, with our theme being ‘Wonderful Words.’ The possibilities for this are endless and full details are given in the letter here 
     
    Thank you for all of your book donations for the second-hand book sale which all children will have the opportunity to visit on World Book Day. We now have plenty of books as we have had 483 books donated!!! We will be asking for a donation of 50p for a book and kindly ask that children initially only bring in one 50p for one book, so we can ensure all children are able to choose one on Thursday 7th. Any books left over at the end of the sale will be available for everyone at an after-school sale in the dining room. We are very grateful for all the kind donations we have received for this sale; the money raised will go back into buying new and interesting books for the children
     
    Year 3 Dance sessions - apologies that the PE dance sessions have been postponed again. These PE sessions will now take place on Thursday 14th March and Thursday 21st March Those weeks Year 3 will have Pe on Thursdays and Year 4 will switch to PE on Tuesdays. We will note these changes in the relevant weeks of the weekly emails.
     
    Meal orders on ParentMail - all weeks for this half term are now available to order. Apologies that the last week of this term had not been published.
     
    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.

  • Junior - Weekly email - Friday 26th January

    Fri 26 Jan 2024 CSG Junior School
    Dear Parents / Carers
     
    Girls U11s football - the girls first match of the year was an exciting 6-4 win for CSG against a strong Seer Green side. Well done to the U11s team and thank you to Mr O'Sullivan for managing the team 


    Morning registration - a reminder that the school gates open at 8:45am and the class register is completed at 8:55am. Any children arriving in class between 8:55am and 9am will be marked as present but late. The school side gates close at 9am and registers close at 9:15am. Children coming into school after registers have closed at 9:15am will be given a late mark that counts as an unauthorised absence for that session unless their late arrival has been authorised for a medical or other appointment.

     
    Sickness and diarrhoea -a reminder that if your child has sickness and/or diarrhoea, even just the once, they need to stay off school for 48 hours following the last bout.


    Photography - the school is looking to update its website and signage. If there are any parents who are professional photographers that would be willing to donate their services to the school we would love to hear from you. Please contact either school office.

     
    Book donations - Many thanks to all the families for the generous book donations we have received over the last two weeks. The books have been of an excellent quality! We are still accepting donations of good quality, age appropriate, second hand books, these can be given to the office. 
     

    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.  We have received some very generous but anonymous donations this week - thank you so much for these items which are very much appreciated.

     

    Emails - please can you take a moment to add your child's name and if possible class to emails sent in to school - this is really helpful especially for pick up emails received late in the school day

    Zebra crossings raised tables - public consultation
    Please see the information below from the Chalfont St Giles Parish Council

    You may be aware that Chalfont St Giles Parish Council proposed a number of traffic calming measures to Buckinghamshire Council through the HS2 Road Safety Fund. The only suggestion that was supported by Bucks Council was to raise the tables on the zebra crossings on the High Street and on Deanway.

    There is now a public consultation running until 18 February to explain exactly what is proposed and to ask the public to complete a short survey.

  • Juniors - Weekly email - Friday 19th January

    Fri 19 Jan 2024 CSG Junior School
    Dear Parents / Carers
     
    Many thanks to the PTA for organising the Hot Dog Lunch yesterday - the children really enjoyed this. The PTA have planned lots of exciting events this year and full details will be available on Classlist as usual.
     
    Parsonage Road - we are still having problems with parents parking on Parsonage Road, making access for residents and school staff difficult and also parking on pavements meaning that children walking are having to walk on the road. A reminder that our Parking Promise states that parents and carers should not use Parsonage Road, Lagger Close, Hillside Close or Gordons Way at drop off and pick up times. We also ask that parents do not use the staff car park for normal drop off and pick up. There is free parking available in the car park behind  the CoOp and by the playing fields.
     
    Year 4 - details for the Woodrow residential have been sent out this week, blue paper consent forms have been sent home today and the ParentMail balance payment item is now live.
     
    Year 6 - photo consents for the 2024 Leavers Book have been sent out this week -  further details here
     
    School run clubs - emails have been sent out confirming places on school run clubs for this term. There are still spaces in all of the school run clubs but we have closed the online forms so please contact the school office if your child would like to join one of these clubs.
     
    Support with Safeguarding - The link below has been shared with us by Buckinghamshire Council as a way of helping to raise awareness of Child Exploitation including advice on what it is, how to recognise signs and how to speak to your child about this issue. I hope this is of some use to you

     

    Book donations - Many thanks to all the families for the generous book donations we have received over the last two weeks. The books have been of an excellent quality! We are still accepting donations of good quality, age appropriate, second hand books, these can be given to the office.

  • Infant - Weekly Email - Friday 12th January

    Fri 12 Jan 2024 CSG Infant School

    Dear Parents,

     
    Procedure in case of snow
    Communication takes place via the school website and email from school.  Please do not telephone the school; this would block telephone lines and we are likely to be working with a skeleton staff first thing in the morning.

    There are three status categories:

    RED  -  the school is closed

    GREEN  -  school is open and operating entirely normally

    AMBER  -  there will be some amendments to normal arrangements;  i.e. a later start to allow staff and parents time to travel.  Start time will be posted on the school website and communicated to parents by email.
     
    School shoes
    Please ensure children are wearing black school shoes with their school uniform. Trainers and boots are not acceptable. Please see here for our uniform policy
     
    Stay and Play Nursery sessions
    These weekly opportunities to interact with your child in the Nursery setting will resume for existing Nursery parents/carers as from Wednesday 24th January. Information will be sent out to you and a list provided for you to book an available slot. Please talk to a member of the Nursery team if you have any further enquiries about these visits.
