THE GATEWAY PROJECT

As you know, our Gateway Project launched last week. We have received generous donations into our ‘Give’ box, located just inside the main entrance door on the left.

Anyone can donate into this box at any time.

We encourage parents to use our ‘Take’ box, which is available everyday Monday-Friday. This box is unsupervised and is located in the parent shelter by the main entrance.

We are keen that this project supports those families who may be struggling during this difficult time.

The project will continue to be available throughout the upcoming winter months.

 

REMINDER – Children in Need Day

Children in Need Day will be on Friday 18th November

Children will be able to come wearing spots/dress down clothing and are asked to bring in a voluntary contribution.

All donations will be via Parent Pay

Thank you

Family Fish & Chip lunch – next week

Family Fish & Chip lunch – Tuesday 15th November – arrival times

 In an effort to reduce the queues, we are trailing a staggered approach this time –

 

If you only have a child or children in these year groups – Reception, 1, 2 or 3 Please arrive at main reception at 11:45

E.g. You have a child in Year 1 & 3

 

If you only have a child or children in these year groups – 4, 5 & 6 Please arrive at main reception at 12:15

E.g. you have a child in year 4 & 6

 

If you have children across a range of different year groups from the youngest to the oldest year groups Please arrive at main reception at 12:00

E.g. you have a child in Reception, Year 3 and Year 6

If you have children in nursery, you will be contacted directly.

Please remember you can bring packed lunches, but not take away food e.g. McDonalds.

We look forward to welcoming you and thank you in advance for your patience.

 

Entrance points for Parent’s Evening week

Please see map below to show entrance points for when arriving for parent’s evening meetings this week.

Kind regards,

Gates/register

We are pleased that the introduction of an earlier start allows us to ensure we can offer the best start to the day to all children. 

Just a reminder that the registers are taken at 8:40 each morning, with the classroom doors opening at 8:35.

Thank you

 

 

Walking home alone / collection of siblings

As a school, the minimum age at which we feel comfortable with allowing children to walk home alone is Year 4.

We will need prior written consent from a parent or carer to allow children to leave by themselves or with an older sibling.

If your child is in Reception / Year 1 / Year 2 / Year 3, we will only release them to an adult.

Thank you

GATEWAY Project

Dear Parents/Carers,

 Thank you so much for your kind donations towards our GATEWAY project.

 We aim to open the project on Monday 7th November.

There will be a large box in the parent shelter by the main school reception. This is the ‘take’ box. If you are struggling and would benefit from taking a few items to get you by, then please help yourselves (don’t forget to bring a bag!).  No one will be supervising this box as we trust parents.

 Just into the main school office door on the left, will be another identical box. This is the ‘give’ box. Should you have the ability to buy even one extra item when you are carrying out your weekly shop, please pop it in this box for us to then add into our GATEWAY stock.

 Staff and Governors are also very keen to contribute to this project.

 We are hopeful we can all support our community over the coming winter months.

 Your continued support in this project will, we know, be very much appreciated.

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal

This year we are again supporting the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. We will be selling poppy resources to raise the much-needed funds for this worthwhile cause.

Children can buy paper poppies at school, by bringing their donation to their classroom. The poppy will be given out at the end of the day to take home.

Selling of paper poppies and other resources will start from Wednesday 2nd November until Friday 11th November.

We do have a number of other poppy themed resources that will only be available to purchase after the school day, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. These items can be taken home for safekeeping!

Please see the attached information with details of the items which you can buy.

Zip Pulls – 50p

Reflectors – 50p

Silicon Bands – £1.00

Snap Bands – £1.50

We only have limited supplies, so once they are gone, they are gone!!

Thank you for your support.
