Walk to School Breakfast Trek
Well done to all the walkers who walked to school on Thursday, the children enjoyed their crumpets and orange juice reward.

Parents Evening
Parent’s Evenings are on Wednesday 12th 3.30-6.30pm. The appointment sheets will be displayed on the notice board next to the school office from Monday and parents are invited to come into school and indicate their preferred time and date.  Please could parents of reception children book a double appointment, this will enable them to discuss the curriculum as well. Junior parents should choose their child’s English & Maths teacher to speak with in the first instance.  Parents can telephone the office to reserve their appointments if they can’t make it into school.  Staff really value the opportunity to talk to parents on these evenings. The school nurse will be available from 3.30pm onwards on the Wednesday for any parent wishing to discuss their child’s health. No appointment necessary for this.

School Jumpers
Please could all parents check if they have extra school jumpers lurking at home.  We have a number of children who are missing theirs (Holmes and Augers specifically).  The missing ones are labelled so please do check all your uniform at home to ensure you don’t have someone else’s by accident, please return to school asap if you do.

After School Club
If any parents require after school club beyond 5pm on Monday 3rd October please let us know as we are re-organising staff cover whilst Mrs Dutton is off.
