Dear Parents and Carers,
Parents’ Evening - Date Change
Parents’ Evening will now be held on Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th of October. This will take place in school. From Monday, please phone the school office to book your appointment.
Phones
Although our phone issues are not fully resolved, we are now able to receive calls. Our calls are now being diverted to a mobile, so please bear with us. Thank you for your patience and understanding, during this past week.
Friday Morning Coffee Time
Mrs Selway is hosting informal drop-in sessions each Friday morning 9-9.30am. This time will enable parents/carers to meet up and perhaps seek support and advice. Mrs Selway can offer advice and also provide links to other organisations who offer support. If you have a worry of any kind, or just would like to have a chat with other parents and carers - pop in!
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.

Faith Newsletters
Here is our monthly faith newsletter that celebrates the Catholic ethos of the school.Click on the link below.
Places Available
The school is almost full but we do have some space available in 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.
Parking
It has been really positive that our local Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) have been in attendance, recently at the start and end of the school day. They have informed us that if they witness parking on the zig zags or loading bays, registrations will be taken and warnings given. Following this, fines will be issued. We thank all parents who take care to park carefully and safely.
Payment for Clubs on the School Gateway App
We have previously asked parents and carers to make a minimum payment of £7 on the School Gateway App. This is because the school has to pay a transaction fee for every payment made. We do very much appreciate it if parents and carers can pay in larger amounts in advance (building up credit) as it helps us keep costs down, however we also understand if this is not possible due to managing family finances on a day-to- day basis.
To use 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.
Breakfast Club for Nursery Children
We are now pleased to offer a limited number of spaces at Breakfast Club for Nursery Children. Due to the need for a higher level of staff supervision needed, each Nursery Breakfast Club place will cost £3 per child.
Chill Time Klub for Nursery Children
We are now pleased to offer a limited number of spaces at Chill Time Klub for Nursery Children. Due to the need for a higher level of staff supervision needed, each Nursery Chill Time Club place will cost £5 per child.
Mini Chill Klub
As soon as we are able to organise appropriate staffing, 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.
