Dear Parents and Carers,
Firstly, can I say a big thank you to all of the children in Years 3 and 4 as well as all of the staff who attended, for making this Year’s Barton Camp such an amazing adventure. There are lots of photos on Facebook and I’m sure everybody has come home telling lots of wonderful stories.
Parents’ Evening
Parents’ Evening will be held on Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th October. This will take place in school. Booking times to follow in next week’s newsletter.
Secondary School Applications
Secondary school applications must be submitted by 31st October 2021. Please follow the link for information on how to support your child’s application submission.

Places Available
The school is almost full but we do have some space available in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3. If you know somebody who might need a school place, please ask them to contact the school office.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is back, for children in Reception - Year 6.
The cost of Breakfast Club back to £1 per session, which includes breakfast (please note that children will not be given breakfast if they arrive after 8.20am). Parents and carers will need to pay using the School Gateway app - we cannot access cash payment.
Due to the new system, we are asking for parents and carers to make a minimum payment of £7 (covering 7 sessions) which will avoid the school paying additional fees.
To access the School Gateway App the office needs your email address on the system All sessions must be booked online using the School Gateway app by 7.30am at the latest, for each day being booked. If you have any difficulties accessing the School Gateway app, please contact the school office after 10am.
Unfortunately we cannot yet offer a Breakfast club for nursery children. This is because of the need for a higher level of staff supervision needed. We are planning to welcome nursery children to a breakfast club as soon as possible. Please let the nursery team or office know if you would use this childcare when available.
Chill Time Klub
Chill Time Klub runs from 3.15-4.30pm. The cost remains £3.50 and parents and carers need to pay using the School Gateway app - we cannot access cash payment.
Later this term we are hoping to launch a “Mini Chill Klub” for any parents that struggle to collect their children on time but do not need a full Chill Time Klub session. This will run from 3.15-3.45. The children can wait and read a book until they are collected at a charge of £1, this will need to be booked. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THIS IS AVAILABLE.
Unfortunately we cannot yet offer Chill Time Klub for nursery children. This is because of the need for a higher level of staff supervision needed. We are planning to welcome nursery children very soon. Please let the nursery team or office know if you would use this childcare when available.
We hope to share information about nursery breakfast and after school provision very soon.
