YEAR 6 LONDON TRIP – WEDNESDAY 30 JANUARY
The children that are going on this trip do not need to come into school until 10.30am on Thursday 31 January but can still come in at the normal time if you wish.
THEMED LUNCHES
SCC Catering are promoting school lunches this term with special theme days. The first one will be on Monday 28 January and the theme is ‘Smile – Be Happy’ look out for the special menu in the usual places.
DINNER MONEY
It is very helpful for the office staff if all dinner money, whether for all week or just one or two days a week, is brought into school on the Monday of the week concerned and not individually through the week. We would also request that dinner money or return slips for trips be handed into the class teacher (in an envelope please) rather than the office, unless otherwise indicated. This helps the children understand responsibility and would help with the congestion at the school office in the morning.
CYCLING TO SCHOOL
A reminder that there is storage space for bicycles, next to the re-cycling area at the back of the school. Any child who has been on the cycling course with Mr Byer may apply to cycle to school. The bicycle must be in road worthy condition, and a safety helmet must be worn. It is recommended that a bicycle lock is used when parking the cycles as the school is unable to take responsibility for cycles damaged or stolen from school premises. There is limited space available and preference will be given to those who are unable to walk to school. Please complete the slip overleaf and return by Friday 8 February to the school office.
HOLIDAY ABSENCE
We have started to receive holiday requests for next academic year and I would like to remind parents that, as last year, it has been decided that any request for absence during the first week of the new academic year will NOT be Authorised (Tuesday 2 September - Friday 5 September). These first few days of the new term are when the children find their place in the class and are busy making friends and we have found that children arriving late into the established class often feel isolated and confused, and often take longer to adjust to the changes and settle down. Any absence due to holiday during the first week of term will be marked in the register as ‘Unauthorised’. The booklet ‘Attendance – A Guide for Parents is available form the school office.
Please can I also draw your attention to the dates for SAT’s and Teacher Assessments week which are Monday 12 May to Friday 16 May. It is essential that all children in Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 are present in this week. I will not authorise holiday for these five year groups during the period of SAT’s.
Could we also remind parents that we need at least two weeks notice for an absence request. Thank you for your help in this matter.
