Dear Parents and Carers
A reminder that we are closed this Monday (23rd May) for and INSET Day.
PE Kit
We have recently had lots of children coming into school in the wrong PE Kit (named brand sports wear, brightly coloured clothing etc). We welcome children to wear their kit in on their classes PE day, however this only applies if they have the correct kit - white t-shirt & black shorts - if they do not have this correct kit, they should come to school wearing their uniform and bring their sportswear to change into before their PE lesson.
If children arrive wearing the incorrect kit, we will be contacting parents to arrange for uniforms to be bought in.

Wellbeing Tips
Attendance
Congratulations to Year 3 who have achieved 98% attendance this week! This is a great achievement - keep up the good work!
With only one week left of the school term, we hope to see more classes achieve this next week, and going into next term. Don’t forget, classes that achieve at least 99% attendance will be rewarded with a non-uniform day!
Nursery Drop Off
One of our highest priorities here at Christ the King is the safety of our children and their families. With this in mind, we would like to ask that families waiting for nursery to open in the morning now wait inside the school gates. This ensures that not only are children kept safely away from the road, but also that the pathways are kept clear for pedestrians.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation with this matter.
Head Lice
We have had reports of head lice from a number of classes across the school. We would like to ask that parents are regularly checking their children’s hair for nits, and treating them when necessary. Whilst head lice are not an excuse to miss school, they can be irritating for children which in turn can become a distraction from learning, so we ask parents to remain vigilant and deal with them as soon as possible.
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.
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.
CTK Nursery Class - Places Available
We are extremely proud of our new(ish) 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.
