Reminder – Halloween Events

Dear Parents/Carers,

We will be holding a Halloween School Event on Friday 25th October after lunch. Children must come into school in their school uniform. They will then be able to change into their Halloween outfits or simply dress down after lunch (please label all items). Staff will be running a disco in the hall and carrying out Halloween fun events in the classroom. Children will go home in their outfits.

We appreciate that not all parents want their children to take part in Halloween events. If that is the case, please do let your child’s teacher know through the home school communication book. We will prepare something non-Halloween themed for them to enjoy.

Due to the Y6 trip and Y5 swimming on this day, they will have their Halloween event the day before on Thursday 24th October.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Curriculum governors involvement in school

Governors met yesterday as part of our Curriculum Committee. They focussed on the Special Educational Needs offer in the school and listened to the SENDco describe how the most complex needs children are supported.

Children from Year 2 to 6 attended a pupil voice session looking at the History offer. Children enjoyed sharing their history books with Governors and were able to confidently articulate their learning over time. Next time Governors look forward to hearing about our newly developed Religious Education offer.

Safeguarding, Health and Safety Committee Update

The Health and Safety Governors carried out their half termly meeting on the 3rd October. They spent time looking at the safeguarding curriculum offer and ensured the Government guidelines around Relationships and Sex Education were now in place. Governors carried out a random ‘spot check’ of staff to ensure that the staff were confident in policy and procedure around the many aspects of safeguarding within a school.
