Dear Parents/Carers,

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.

Big Breakfast Week

There is a Big Breakfast Week running from 12th to 16th November.  Fareshare are organising this event and during the week the school will get a visit from a local celebrity chef to make smoothies with the children. Josh Eggleton, local Bristol Chef, will be visiting on Wednesday 14th November to make smoothies with the children.

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.

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.
