NEWSLETTER

As we come to the end of our first term of the session I would like to thank you once again for the support you have given as we have implemented our new procedures.

As you know these procedures are in place to keep everyone safe and will remain in place throughout the period of the pandemic.

Unfortunately some parents are still sending their children to school too early in the morning. Children who start at 9am should not be in the playground until 8.55am. There is no adult supervision between 8.45am and 8.55am. I am asking once again that children arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before their start time.

It is important that we all work together to make the procedures work.

Settling In Reports

Before the end of this term you will receive your child’s Settling In Report. This short report will tell you the level your child is currently working at and how well he/she has settled into his/her class.

Please note, if there is a NA written on your child’s report that simply means that this area of the curriculum has not been taught yet.

These reports will be sent out via email. Please ensure we have a current email address for you.

If you would like to comment on your child’s report you can do so by sending an email to me and I will forward it on to the class teacher.

Homework

Next term we intend to set homework tasks through Teams. Your child should already have log in details. If you are unable to access Teams for any reason please let us know and we will try to support you.

More information about homework will be emailed out at the beginning of next term.

Parking

When parking near the school please DO NOT park across residents’ driveways. This causes an obstruction and is dangerous.

The safety of our children is everyone’s responsibility.

Showing kindness to others

As a school community we encourage the children to be kind, respectful and thoughtful.

It came to my attention last week that some of our children are waving to one of the elderly residents of Queen Elizabeth Courtas they walk to school in the mornings. The lady waits at the window and waves back. I am sure that you will agree that this small act of kindness will most likely make a huge impact on that lady’s day. I am very proud of our children and the kindness that they show to others and felt it important that this story was shared with our whole school community.

As always, if you have any concerns, please contact me in any of the following ways;
