COLLECTION OF KS1 CHILDREN AFTER SCHOOL
Could I remind parents that for safety reasons we ask they wait in the playground for the teacher to send their child to them. Could parents please not wait on the steps or in the area at the bottom of the steps allowing for a clear exit for the teachers to bring the children out on to the playground. This is a very busy time and it is important that teachers have a clear view and that each child is released individually once a parent has been seen by the teacher.
PACKETS IN LUNCH BOXES
It has been noticed that the younger children in the school spend a lot of time in the dinner hall with their hand up asking for help with opening packets in their lunch box. Could parents please snip a corner off and show their children how to open up the item in their box enabling them to be more independent. Thank you.
NAPTA AWARD
I am proud to tell you that the school has been named a NAPTA (National Association of Professional Teaching Assistants) Centre of Good Practice in recognition of our engagement with NAPTA’s Workforce Development Programme and our commitment to support staff. We have been given a certificate that we will put up in the reception area and are now allowed to use their logo on our headed paper.
ROAD WORKS
The resurfacing of College Road between Well Close Square and Pembroke Road is to take place from Wednesday 19 until Sunday 23 September. There will be two phases: Phase 1 - From Wednesday 19 to Friday 21 College Road will be closed between Mount Pleasant and Pembroke Road. Phase 2 – From 5.00pm on Saturday 22 to late afternoon on Sunday 23 College Road will be closed between Well Close Square and Mount Pleasant. During this second phase through traffic will be diverted via Dennington and Badingham.
PARKING IN VYCES ROAD
We would ask parents to respect the double yellow lines in Vyces Road. It is better if parents park in the Elms Car Park if they need to travel by car and then walk into school to collect/drop children. Thank you for your co-operation.
THANK YOU
We would like to say thank you to Ian Moore and his team for returfing the area around the log.
