We would like to say a big congratulations to Mrs Dobson who has just secured her dream job working with the school nurses team. Jill joined us in Sunrise Club to get more experience working with children whilst doing her nursing training. She was an absolute natural with the children and we would have loved to keep her, but she has made the difficult decision to continue with her chosen pathway in nursing.  There will be no disruption to Sunrise club, as Sara Russell is continuing to lead it and from mid-November, Rachel Smith will work as the Sunrise assistant.

Many Thanks to Mr Savage who has organised a team of parents to come in to school this Saturday, 19th October at 10:30 am to tidy the garden areas.

We are aware that there are other areas around school which need some TLC so we are planning another morning gathering on Saturday 9th November at 10:30 am.

If you are able to help us in anyway please let Mrs Smith in the school office know..

Fingers crossed that the weather is kind to us on both mornings

On Tuesday 22nd there is a change to the advertised menu.

They will be able to choose from either Pizza or Chicken fillets.

Please can you make your child aware.

The PTA disco on Wednesday was a massive success and everyone had a great time! Well done to Elaine and her team for all of their hard work. This event raised a whopping £351.77.

The PTA are holding a Tuck and Uniform sale on Thursday 24th October (last day of term). It will take place outside school from 3pm. Bring your purse!!!!

Dear Parent/Carers

As a leadership team, we would like to acknowledge that we understand that there were concerns and disappointments in the way things were handled regarding the potential closure of Sunrise club. We were very fortunate that Claire Evans came forward to help us, but realise that many of you may have had suggestions that you could have put forward beforehand to try and prevent it happening in the first place.  We have reflected on this and wanted to give you an opportunity to talk to us about any other school issues, both strengths and areas for improvement, that we can work on together to help the school move forward.

To this end, we would like to invite you to come into school for a Parent Forum on Friday 8^th November 3:30-5:00pm. 

The forum will be hosted by the school governors, who will be there to answer questions, collect ideas and suggestions from our school community.  We are very lucky to have such supportive parents and carers who want to help the school to develop along with the staff.  The PTA are very proactive in setting up initiatives but we want to extend this to the wider school community through this forum.

We hope that you will be able to make it. If you are unable to attend but wish to raise a point or ask a question, please put it in an envelope marked ‘parent forum’ and hand in to the school office.

This date and time has been chosen as we wanted to hold the forum as soon as possible. We will take feedback on timings and preferences for next time as we will hold another forum later in the year.

Thank you for your on-going support,

Yours faithfully

Mrs Williams, Executive Headteacher
