Site Access

 

 Dear Parents/Carers,

I have now completed a site walk and can update you concerning access.

The top gate and top car park will remain closed as the work is completed. We anticipate this to be for approximately 4 weeks.

The main gate and the gate by the Year 6 classrooms will be open. We are also temporarily opening the double gates to the rear of the reception outdoor play area.

This will mean that we have a route open that goes right around the school and therefore everyone will be able to get where they need to be.

Teachers and Teaching Assistants will be visible to help with finding the correct classes. We will also have a good number of other staff outside to assist.

With the top car park being out of action, we are going to have to prioritise staff parking on site for this short time. This will mean our visitor car park will mainly be full of staff cars. We are leaving the 3 disabled spaces free and the 3 spaces next to them free for our visitors and for blue badge holders.

We are concerned about breakfast club drop off time as we know this is a time that this car park is used significantly. Please make alternative arrangements if you can for this short period of time. It is unavoidable and I can assure you that the contractors are working really hard to finish the work as quickly as they can.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Miss Cook

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Committee Update

Governors observed the annual innvacution and were impressed with the speed in which children got into their classrooms.

ROSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) report was analysed thoroughly, and governors had the chance to look first hand outside at items listed and share their thoughts.

Governors were delighted to speak to a parent in the meeting who receives excellent support from school. Governors are looking forward to seeing the opening of the new hub provision and talking to the children during the autumn term.

Finance and Personnel Committee Update

The Finance and Personnel Committee met last week and discussed the highly positive quality of Nursery provision along with Nursery future plans. They received an update on the SEND provision across the school and spent time reading the parent comments, analysing and creating an action plan following the recent parent survey feedback. Governors would like to thank parents for finding the time to fill a survey in. Governors were delighted in the widespread positivity highlighted throughout the survey by parents. They would also like to reassure parents that each and every single comment was read and where appropriate actions planned.

Art Day

This year’s Art Day will be held on Friday 12th July. Children are once again being invited to “dress to express” in their most creative costumes but please bear in mind that there may be some messy activities! We will be working in house groups to create some fantastic pieces of art using recycled objects and your child’s teacher will let you know if they need donations of particular materials for their activities. In addition to this, we need lots (and lots!) of Tetrapak or Pure-Pak cartons for a very exciting printing project with Ironbridge Fine Arts. These cartons often contain fruit juice, oat or almond milk, coconut water, toddler formula etc. We would be very grateful for any clean, dry cartons that you can send into school. Thank you for your support.
