Lunchtimes [2018/2019]

Dear Parents,

Following feedback from a number of parents regarding lunchtimes at school, changes are going to be made as of September 2018. From the beginning of the new academic year – Wednesday September 5^th, we will only have 2 slots for lunchtime:

Monday - Thursday

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2	11:30 - 12:30
Years 3, 4, 5 and 6	12:30-1:30

Friday

No changes made.

By making these changes, there will be a reduced number of children on the playground ensuring that they have more space to play and more activities to join in with. It will also help to make sure that there are as few accidents as possible. Both of these are areas where parents have expressed concerns.

If your child is home dinners and in KS1, you will need to collect them at 11:30 and return them for 12:30 in readiness for lessons. KS2 children will be picked up at 12:30 and back in school for 1:30. If you are unable to make the second return journey to bring your children in KS2 back, a walking bus will collect them and return them to school. There will be 15 places available on this so you will need to put your child’s name down at the office if you require the walking bus.

Thank you in advance for your support with this. If you have any questions, please see myself or a member of SLT.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. A. Knibbs
Head of School

Non-Uniform Day [11th July]

Dear Parents,

As you may be aware, we are very close to winning the ‘World Cup 2018’. In order to show our support for the England football team, we are having a non-uniform day for children on Wednesday 11th July. It is free of charge for everyone and the theme for the day is Red and White or children may wear their England top or kit.

I look forward to seeing our children in ‘red and white’.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Mr A Knibbs
Head of School
