Dear Parents/Carers,
At the end of my first year as Headteacher, can I thank you all for your fantastic friendship and support. This is an amazing school community and I am very proud to be a part of it.
Can I remind you all that the children return to school on Wednesday 4th January.
Christmas Celebrations
We have just had a wonderful period of Christmas celebrations. Can I say a big thank you to everybody in the school community for making these events so special and remembering the true meaning of Christmas.
Sad News
As many of you know Emma, mother of Harvey and Cody, passed away this week. Our prayers are with the boys and their dad Mike at this difficult time.
Staff Training Day - 3rd January 2017
Our 4th INSET Day will be on Tuesday 3rd January. This means that Term 3 will begin for children on Wednesday 4th January 2017.
School Uniform
Please can we remind you that children should be wearing the following school uniform:-
- Grey / Black trousers or skirts – NO TRACKSUIT bottoms
- Red Sweatshirt or cardigan or fleece
- White / red polo shirts
- PLAIN BLACK SHOES
- PE Kit plain white t-shirt / plain black shorts and PE daps or trainers
We all look forward to seeing all the children looking their best in January.
CTK Reading Volunteer Army
To give children even more opportunities to read regularly, we are planning to create a Christ the King ‘Army’ of Reading Volunteers. We are planning to offer volunteers training and support so that they can help children’s reading improve. If you are interested, and are able to offer some time on a regular basis, please contact the school office and Mrs Higgins will make contact to give you more information.
Parent Helpers for School Trips
We would like to create a small team of parents who are available to help out with school trips. We would offer some simple training and a full DBS clearance to ensure safety. Parent volunteers would not necessarily be on trips with their own child’s class but would have a great opportunity to support the school and our children. Please contact the school office if you are interested.
