WEEKLY BULLETIN Dear Parents and Carers,

We Are Collecting Aldi Tokens!

Well what another very busy week, here at school. I can’t believe it’s the end of the 4th week at Grange Primary School. Time seems to be flying by. This week we have seen many exciting opportunities for our children. I hope you enjoy reading this week’s newsletter and learning a little bit more about school life.

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that our cinema night has been arranged for Thursday 10th October from 3:15pm – 5:00pm. This is open for all students from Year 1 – Year 6.

The school council are voting on the film which will be communicated shortly.

Tickets can be purchased from the school office.

Thank you to all students and staff for another exceptional week of learning.

Aldi supermarkets are currently running their ‘Kit for Schools’ promotion, which is giving 20 primary school the chance to win £20,000. Every primary school who enters by completing their Aldi’s Kit for Schools poster will also receive an exclusive school sports kit! If you have any Aldi sticker tokens we would be grateful if these could be brought into school please, as we are collecting them.

The promotion ends 3rd November 2019. Thank you!

Pupil Premium The pupil premium is additional funding which is allocated to schools on the basis of the number of students who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point over the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’). The Pupil Premium is aimed at addressing the current underlying inequalities which exist between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their more affluent peers.

The Pupil Premium also provides funding for children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and the children of service personnel.
