Dear Parents and Carers,

Archery Club 

Please be aware that Friday Archery Club has now changed availability from Year 6 to Year 5. If your child is in Year 5 and would like to take part, please book in using the School Gateway App.

Breakfast Club 

As you may know we run a daily Breakfast Club for our pupils. Breakfast Club runs daily from 8am and is a great opportunity for children to have a healthy breakfast and socialise with their friends before school. Not only is Breakfast Club great for socialising and promoting healthy eating habits, it can also greatly benefit children’s attendance and behaviour. For pupils from Reception-Year 6, Breakfast Club is just £1 per day, and doors are open for breakfast until 8.20am (children arriving after this time will miss food service). If you would like to book a space at Breakfast Club, you can do this using the School Gateway app. 

If you have a nursery aged child and would like further information about a space at Breakfast Club, please contact the school office. 

Attendance 

What a great start to Term 4 we have had! 

This week we have had THREE classes achieve over 97% attendance…

Well done to Year 1, Year 4 and Year 5R who have all achieved 98% attendance this week! They almost achieved the 99% or 100% needed for a special non-uniform day. 

Well done to all - keep up the good work! 

Sad News 

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Bernie Noble. 

Bernie was a member of the Christ the King family for many years, and a much loved member of our school community. As well as being  a valued staff member for many years, Bernie was also a beloved family member to both staff and pupils. 

Bernie’s husband, Simon, continues to support the school as a School Governor and we hope you will join us in sending prayers, love and condolences to him and the rest of the family at this time. 

Anti-Social Behaviour 

Unfortunately, this week we have received reports of some antisocial behaviour around the school site, which has been aimed towards members of our school community. Whilst we are pleased to say that this behaviour was not connected to pupils at our school, we of course do not want parents/carers to feel intimidated by others when visiting our school. The incident in question has been reported to the police, and while we hope this was an isolated event, if you witness, or are victims of antisocial behaviour that involves our school, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Attendance 

Congratulations to Year 6 who have once again achieved great attendance - 97.6% overall this week! Well done! 

It’s great to see everyone working so hard to ensure we are improving attendance - thank you for your ongoing support with this. 

Parent’s Coffee Morning - Friday at 9am

All parents are welcome to join us for a cuppa, and not only is it a great opportunity to meet other parents and engage in the school community, it's also a great chance to talk to school staff about any concerns you may have around things that are happening at school or at home.  

During the school week, we understand that it might be difficult to get in touch with your child’s teacher or other members of staff, so Coffee Morning is a perfect way to make contact with someone in school who will be able to support you.
