Dear Parents/Carers,
We have had a fabulous week with the whole school back. Check out Twitter to see what the pupils have been up to. The headlines this week are:-
1. Easter Funday & Last Day of Term - Our last day of term will involve a lot of fun. Teachers will be informing you of the pod plans including the easter bonnet parade and an egg hunt. It is with such sadness that we are all missing our second traditional "Eggstravaganza", but we will make sure the pupils will enjoy their day. Please remember that school will finish at 1pm. (Please collect from 12-45 until 1.15).
2. Summer Term - All Change Again!!! As staff are returning to work we are, as promised, able to re-open on a Friday afternoon. This is great news, and we thank you all for your co-operation while we were struggling with staffing levels. Your understanding during these times has been absolutely invaluable to us all. To support your child's learning and wellbeing, nearly all staff will take their PPA on a Friday. All Pods will be covered by consistent staff wherever possible and all contact groups will continue to be around 30.
3. Breakfast Club (Limited Spaces) - As staffing levels improve, we are also able to resume breakfast club. This will now be based in the school hall, so please consider this when you are dropping your child(ren) off. You can either park on the main road and bring your child to the hall fire exit, or older children can be dropped off in the zone and they can run up to the hall through the junior yard. Due to Covid19 the school must insist on pre-bookings by emailing the office. Please note that if the school has reached it's capacity we may not be able to reserve you a space.
Early Bird Craft Club from 8am to 8.25am. Cost £20 per half term. (Siblings £10) Must be paid in advance. For more information please visit the school website here. A contract will be required, please contact the office to book your place early.
Breakfast Club from 8.25 to 8.55. Cost FREE. For more information please visit the school website here.
4. INSET Days - The school has a number of INSET days yet to take, however we feel that we want to see your children as much as we can before the Summer break. For this reason staff and governors have decided that we will take just two INSET days at the end of term to prepare for the New Curriculum. This means the last day of the Summer Term will be Wednesday 14th July.
Have a Lovely Weekend
Mrs Caswell
