Dear Parents/Carers,

Summer Chill Time Klub

Summer Chill Time Klub will run again during the summer holiday next year.  The Klub will be open on w/c 29th July and 5th August.   If you would like to book your child into the Klub please telephone the school office.

School Uniform Reminder

A reminder that children should not be wearing leggings or tracksuit bottoms.  Earrings can be worn as long as they are just simple stud earrings.  Thank you.

Year 6 SATs Week

Year 6 SATs tests will take place from Monday 13th May - Friday 17th May 2019.  These are statutory tests and parents/carers should avoid any family holidays during the month of May.

Volunteer at Lifeskills

Did your child come to Lifeskills? Have you got a bit of spare time on your hands? Would you like to work with children to improve their safety skills? Lifeskills is a safety education charity helping thousands of children from across the West of England to live safer, happier lives. 

Our Centre is a realistic village with houses, shops, a railway and a beach where children learn how to deal with dangerous or difficult situations in a safe, interactive environment. We need volunteers to guide small groups of children through the Lifeskills village. Sessions run from 9.40am – 12pm and 12.40pm – 3pm weekdays during term time. Volunteering is flexible and we only ask for a minimum commitment of 2 days a month. If you would like to get involved call 0117 922 4511 or email johanna@lifeskills-bristol.org.uk

We are the busiest we have ever been and are fully booked for the current academic year. This means we need to recruit more volunteers for our Year 6 programme to ensure your pupils get the best possible experience.

Parent Governor Vacancy

As I am sure you are aware, all schools have a Governing Body who support the Headteacher and the Senior Leadership Team in their endeavours to make this school an outstanding establishment where all children thrive.

We now have a vacancy on our Governing Body for a Parent Governor.  All parents are eligible to apply for this voluntary role and we would ask you to contact the school office if you would like your name to be put forward.

Meetings are termly and  run from 3:30 to 5:30pm.   An interest in the school and finding out more about the way that the school is managed is the first consideration and if you have any specific skills with budgets or experience with staffing issues you would be particularly welcome.

If you would like further information please speak to Miss Roberts in the office who will either be able to help you or will put you in touch with the Clerk to the Governors to answer any specific questions. Alternatively just come and have a chat with me about the role at the school gates.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Moving to another school

If you are looking to move your child to another because of change of address or location etc.  Please can you speak with the school office who will let you have a form to complete for details of the new school.  It is important that the school knows that the child is moving school and where they are going, otherwise we will have to report them as a missing child to the local authority.
