PHILIPPINES APPEAL
We are really pleased to

this is a combination of donations from the pupils for non-uniform day,
collections from the Christmas productions and Carol Service and staff donations.
This will be sent via Christian Aid.
Thank you to everyone for your generosity to this cause.
PARENT COUNCIL - SECURITY
Some parents have expressed
concerns to the Parent Council over security, when leaving their children on
the playground in the mornings, worried that they might wander out through the
gates. It was felt that if parents could avoid
gathering near to the wooden gates and at the bottom of the
steps, the staff on duty would be better able to monitor
these areas. Also when the bell goes and the children line up, the teachers
can’t always see if all the children are in their lines so if parents could
stand well back at that point it would be very helpful.
If any parents have a good
knowledge of security and are willing to give us some advice about how it might
be improved, please contact one of the Parent Council.
If you would like to read
the minutes from any of the Parent Council meetings, you will find them on the
Parent Information area of the school’s website.
PARENTS EXITING THE
PLAYGROUND IN THE MORNING
Please can parents WAIT for
class KV & RV to use the steps to get to their class before trying to exit
the school towards College Road in the mornings. There is not enough space for
the children to get to their classes safely with parents also using these
steps. Thank you.

The parent council are
planning to hold a second hand uniform sale, later in the spring or early
summer. If you have any unwanted uniform, in good condition, that you could
donate, please bring it to the school office.
BAG2SCHOOL COLLECTION
The Friends are delighted
to let parents know that the charity bag collection in November has raised
