Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s a little late but a very happy new year to you all. I hope you all had a good seasonal break.

Uniform

Thank you to all those parents who have sent their children back to school in uniform. They look really smart and a credit to the school. Would any parents of children not in school uniform please try and send their child in the school colours.

Dinner Money

As you are aware, we are legally not allowed to give children a lunch when it has not been paid for. Rules about this are being tightened up, so please send your child’s dinner money every Monday morning, in a sealed envelope, with your child’s name on it. Please help us to ensure that your child receives his/her meal when appropriate.

Spring Parents’ Evenings

Next week we will be holding our Spring Term Parents’ Evenings. We invite you to meet with your child’s class teacher to discuss your child’s progress and targets in behaviour and work.

The Parents’ Evenings will be on:

Tuesday, 28th January Class 2 Yr6 3.30 - 6.00, Class 5 Year 2/3 3.30 - 5.00

Wednesday, 29th January Class 5 Year 2/3 3.30 – 5.00

Thursday, 30th January Class 3 Yr 5 3.30 – 6.00, Class 4 Yr 4 3.30 – 6.00, Class 6 Yr 1 3.30 – 6.00

Mrs Langley, the school Special Needs Co-ordinator, will also be present next Tuesday and Wednesday until 5.00pm to answer any concerns and questions about Special Needs support.

Please fill in the preferred time for your appointment – please note: Class 5 parents’ evenings end at 5pm on each day. Please return the slip as soon as possible, and at the very latest by Monday, 27th January.

We will then send back a confirmed appointment time.

We look forward to meeting with you all next week. This is a really important time of year to meet with your child’s class teacher so please support our school and your child by attending. I know many of you have no alternative child-care arrangements and have to bring your child or children with you. May I ask you to remind your children that school rules apply even on Parents’ Evenings!

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Kay Price
