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.

Red Nose Day

The school will be selling Red Noses for the 15th March.  We have not received them yet but when we do we will let you know.

Lent Fundraising

As usual, this year during lent we will be having weekly fundraising events to raise money for charity.  Our charities chosen this year so far are CAFOD, Red Nose Day and Shelter.  Details of the activities will follow shortly.

Summer Chill Time Klub

Summer Chill Time Klub will run again during the summer holiday.  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.

Reading Volunteers

To give children even more opportunities to read regularly, we are planning to create a Christ the King Team 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 Miss Gaunt will make contact to give you more information.

Lateness

To encourage children to be on time for school and for parents/carers to collect children on time (3.15pm), we will be sending a polite text message as a reminder where there is a concern.
