Odd Socks Day on Monday, 13th November marks the start of Anti-Bullying Week at Myddle School 🙂

Come to school in odd socks, jazzy ones, plain ones BUT most importantly they must be ODD.

Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It’s an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique!

On our return to school on the Tuesday 7th November, we will be selling merchandise from the Royal British Legion. We do this every year to support this fantastic charity.

Our Armed Forces risk everything to protect our way of life. Your poppy purchases show you care and helps them continue their vital work.

Prices will be:

Poppy’s – minimum donation 20p
Reflective Poppy’s- 50p
Zip Pull – 50p
Snap band Rulers – £1
Wristbands – £1
Please send the correct money and the item/s your child would like, in a named envelope.

Mrs Smith will distribute the items at the end of the school day.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to give school a ring on 01939 290834.

Don’t forget that Monday 6th November is a PD day.

Mrs Smith will put all lost property outside at the end of the day today for parents/carers to have a rummage through and attempt to reunite clothing to child.

Please ensure that your child’s name is sewn, written or any other method to their uniform so we can easily avoid the mountain of lost property we have at the end of this term. This also includes any uniform which is pre-loved or “hand- me- downs”.

Your support with this will play a massive part in reducing our lost property, and avoiding additional expense to parents when things go missing.

A paper copy will be sent home with your child tonight, so you can discuss their choice with them before they arrive at school.

Safer Schools

In 2009, our school was accredited a Safer School. This is a school security initiative created by West Mercia Police and supported by Shropshire Council. It includes the following.

• Forming a Safer School group representing the school.
• Implementing basic security measures applicable at all schools i.e. property marking, and visitor passes.
• A proportional pro-active approach to the security/safety/safeguarding of staff, pupils, visitors, premises, property and assets.
• Establishing a procedure for surveying perceived issues i.e. an unauthorised thoroughfare or, recording incidents i.e. trespass, anti-social behaviour, vandalism. Any recorded information is then analysed, and appropriate measures implemented.
• If there are any projects to be undertaken, they are prioritised. Following the implementation of a project, its success is monitored.
• PSHE or education of pupils as per the Safer School pack.

To maintain the accreditation, we have held regular Safer School meetings since our accreditation, and we plan to hold a future meeting.  Part of the Safer School process is gathering the views/concerns of parents/carers. If you have views/concerns, including any positive observations, please could you forward in writing by Monday, 13th November 2023 so they may be considered at a Safer School meeting. The focus is the school grounds/site.

Thank you.
