Dear Parents/Carers,

Book-Tastic Book Fair

Congratulations to everyone for such brilliant support at our book fair. As a result of books purchased we have managed to raise a magnificent £785.11 which will be shared between the classes and spent directly on books for your children to enjoy.

A huge thank you goes to you all for showing such commitment and interest in our children’s  learning.

First Holy Communion

DON’T MISS OUT!  Christ the King’s production of ‘Captain Hook’s Revenge’

The children in Year 4 and 6 are currently rehearsing for our big Summer show.

We are expecting a large audience and have decided that it will be performed on two occasions – Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th of July at 3:30pm.

As Year 4 and Year 6 have major parts, tickets will be sold to their parents and carers first- available to purchase from the school office on Monday 23rd June. Initially we have limited tickets to four per family. After Friday 28th June tickets will go on sale to the rest of the school. (Tickets are available from the office from Monday at a price of £1 per ticket, this money will be spent on new books for each class)

Leave of Absence During Term Time

We must remind all parents that the Headteacher CANNOT authorise any leave of absence during term time unless for exceptional circumstances.  Any requests must be made in writing on a form available from the school office and must be made at least ten days before the leave is due to commence.  Any leave taken that has not been considered exceptional will be recorded as unauthorised.  There will be two unauthorised absences recorded for each day - morning and afternoon.  If there are eight or more unauthorised absences recorded within a ten week period, the school can issue a penalty notice.  This will be £60 per child for each parent, meaning a possible penalty charge of £120 per child.

We appreciate that holidays taken during term time can be much cheaper than those taken during the school holidays but we have a legal responsibility to ensure that every child is attending school and receiving their education.

Medical Appointments

The start and end of the school day is very important and it has become noticeable that children are being collected early for different appointments. Please can you make these appointments for out of school hours.

When there is an unavoidable appointment, we will request evidence to authorise the absence.
