Breakfast Club / After School Club We are currently assessing the feasibility of Breakfast Club and After School Club as we have so much debt that it does not cover it’s cost. We should not be using money from the school budget to subsidise the wrap around care of a few children. If we are to keep Breakfast Club & After School Club running, you must book your child in online and bring your payments up to date. Appeal for Donations Do you have any of the following that you could donate to school? Lego – complete sets or bits & pieces, base boards, figures etc Books – good quality books, particularly series of books Uniform – ties, jumpers, shirts, skirts and pumps are all in high demand Wellies – for the Reception class, shoe sizes 8-13 THANK YOU!

The next school disco is on 1st March. Please book your child’s place on ParentPay. SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR During the Book Fair in October, we allowed parents to take books and art work with the agreement that it was paid for before the end of January. Please honour that commitment and pay the amount advised on ParentPay. Thank you. DEBTS We are owed over £4000 Please check your Parentpay account We have a lot of outstanding debts owed to school this week It is your responsibility as a parent to pay for services that the school provides in advance. If you can not access ParentPay, please see Mrs Phillips who can help you.

If you are reporting your child sick, they should be attending the GP. If they are not ill enough to see a doctor, they should be in school. We will soon be asking for evidence of sickness as our attendance rates have dropped dramatically. Siblings should not have the day off because one child is ill. You can now report absence using the Schudio App.
