Dear Parents and Carers
Medical Appointments during the school day
Please can we remind parents that without medical evidence (an appointment card/letter/prescription), appointments during the school day will not be authorised. Multiple unauthorised absences may result in a penalty notice (fine) being issued. Where possible, please book appointments after school hours or during school holidays.
School Photographs
Our school photographer will be in school on Wednesday 4th May to take individual and sibling portraits of the children.
Jewellery
A polite reminder that children should not be wearing excessive jewellery to school. Pupils are only permitted to wear stud earrings into school, they should not be wearing hoops or drop earrings. Children should also not be wearing necklaces, bracelets or rings into school, and we cannot take responsibility for the loss or damage of such items.
Summer Chill
We now have some provisional dates available for our Summer Chill sessions. We would like to run these sessions on:
- Week Commencing: Monday 8th August 2022
- Week Commencing: Monday 15th August 2022
Sessions would be available to children who are currently in Years Reception to Year 5 (unfortunately current nursery and year 6 children will not be able to attend) and families would have to commit to the whole week, as we cannot offer single days.
For this provision to be financially viable, we will require a certain number of bookings, so at this time we are unable to provide a cost of these sessions, however if you would like to register your interest, please contact the school office and we will endeavour to get this information to you as soon as possible.
SATs Week - Monday 9th - Friday 13th May 2022
Year 6 SATs will take place on the week commencing Monday 9th May. This is a very important week for our pupils and it is essential that children attend school every day in order to sit their tests. Unless a child is unwell, children not attending school will not be able to sit these assessments, that they have worked so hard to prepare for.
A free breakfast will be available to all children during this week to ensure they are in school on time and have a positive start to the day.
PE Kit Reminder
Please can we remind parents that our school PE Kit is black shorts/jogging bottoms and a plain white t-shirt. Children should not be wearing brand name or brightly coloured sportswear/tracksuits and clothing for their PE Lessons.
CTK Nursery Class - Places Available
We are extremely proud of our nursery class which is open for 3 and 4 year olds. Our Early Years Team have worked really hard to make it a welcoming and enjoyable place for children to play and learn, developing the skills they need ready for primary school. You can take a look at the fantastic work that’s been going on through the Nursery page on our school website.
If you are interested in applying for a place for your child or think you may know someone who is interested, please ask them to contact the school office to express interest.
Reception Places Available for September 2022
We still have a few places available for children starting in Reception this September.
Again, if you are interested in applying for a place for your child or think you may know someone who is interested, please ask them to contact the school office to express interest.
Attendance
Congratulations to Year 6 and 5R who have reached our attendance targets this week!
- 5R: 98%
