NEW SCHOOL WEBSITE
Following a problem on the School Website back in early 2009 we are no longer able to update the information on this site or the files you can link off it (www.hitchams.suffolk.sch.uk). Mr Brook has created a new site which gives all the latest information; it includes the brochure, policies, lunch menu, Friends and Governor information, calendar dates and more. As with the old site it also has a direct link to the School BLOG. Please can we encourage you to set this new site www.roberthitchams.ik.org as one of your favourite links and remove the old one. Thank you.
QUANTUM THEATRE – Monday 1 February
A production of ‘’The Bin Raider’, a play on energy saving and recycling, is to take place during the afternoon of Monday 1 February. The cost of this production is £300 therefore we would ask for a voluntary donation of £1.00 per child. According to the Governors’ Policy of Charges and Remissions for School Activities parents who are in receipt of: (a) Income Support; (b) Income Based Job Seekers Allowance; (c) Child Tax Credit and do not receive Working Tax Credit and who have an annual taxable income of less than £15,575; (d) Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999; or (e) a guaranteed element of State Pension Credit do not need to pay for this event. Nor will they be expected to make a voluntary contribution of money unless they wish to do so. Teachers will deal with the collection of money in the same sensitive way that operates for those children who receive free school meals.
Please complete the form below and return it to the class teacher by Tuesday 26 January.
