Friday 15th July
Dear Parents and Carers,
School Website
The school website is currently being reviewed and updated so it has been taken offline. We hope that the revised website will be up and running by September.
You can still access the photograph blog on http://thechristthekingblog.blogspot.co.uk
Headteacher’s Awards
It has been great to have such a positive feedback about the Headteacher’s Awards that we introduced in January. It would always be the expectation that each children receives at least one award per year, however because we started several months into this school year, it is unlikely that every child will receive an award by July. Any child that does not will receive an award by the October holiday in their new class.
Children crossing the road
Recently there has been some near misses with children running out into the road. We will talk to the children before the summer holidays telling them of the importance of crossing roads sensibility, making sure they look both ways however it would also be a good idea if you talked with your child as well to make sure they stay safe.
Children in Year 2 - Free School Meals
There are a number of children in year 2 currently eligible for Free School Meals. To ensure these children receive a free school meal in September 2016 when they enter Year 3, please can you apply for free school meals to Bristol City Council. The preferred method of application is on-line which is quick, easy and secure to use: https://efsm.bristol.gov.uk
Parents/carers need to make an online applications by 22nd July. If you require help with the online application please see Kath Roberts in the school office.
