Headteacher's Welcome We have had a great week in school this week. Our new Reception children have coped so well with being in school full time and seem to be really settled and happy. I am so impressed with how well our Y1 and Y2 have got back into the routine of school life; they have been working so hard and seem really settled into their new routines already. It was lovely for teachers to meet some of the KS1 parents face to face at the welcome meetings this week. We know that it is not always possible for all parents to attend so all of the information is on the KS1 page of the school website (link below). If you have any further questions please get in touch with school. For those of you who have been into the main playground, you will have noticed our fabulous new Quiet Area that has been developed over the summer. A huge thank you to our PTA for funding this fabulous project! Our Quiet Area Books and chalkboards coming soon! Thank You PTA!!! |

Driving Outside School!
Unfortunately staff and parents have witnessed some dangerous driving outside school this week. It is very concerning that some parents are driving too fast, and sometimes erratically right outside school - one of our parents who travels by bike was reversed into by a car this week; thankfully she was not injured but this could have been much, much worse!!!
Parents have also been seen sitting in cars with engines running polluting the air that our children breathe.
Please remember the safety of children must always be the priority. Please remember to...

Parents and carers wishing to attend should wait outside the front of school whilst we register the children - you will then be invited into the hall.

Our School is a Mobile Free Zone This means~:-
This is for safeguarding reasons. |
|
|
There are lots of things that parents and carers can do do help us to keep our school a happy, safe place for everyone.
Here are a few requests from us...
1) Please remember our school is a mobile free-zone - this means no phones should be used in the school grounds (this includes the playground). This is for safeguarding reasons.
2) WhatsApp groups have been set up in many classes by parents - these are a great way to stay in touch, plan social events and remind each other of events that are taking place in school. Please do not use these to discuss any issues or concerns you have about school or things that have happened in school; please come and talk to us if you have any worries about anything. WhatsApp is not the appropriate forum to do this and it can end up causing unnecessary anxiety for parents. If you are not on the class WhatsApp yet - chat to other parents at pick up and someone will be able to help.
3) Dogs - we understand with busy lives combining the school run with a dog walk can be helpful, however we ask that you keep dogs away from the steps up to the main gate and the ramp up to Turtles classroom. However lovely your dog may be, some children are frightened and to them some of them feel very big!
4) Please ensure your child arrives on time The gate will close just before 8:55am to ensure children are in class ready for register at 8:55am. Phonics is the first lesson of the day - this is where we teach your child to be an amazing reader! Being late is unsettling for your child and means they will miss very important learning too.
5) Please read all communication that comes home - this will keep you informed about everything that is happening.
6) Please read the Parent Guide for further useful information.
