Parent View

Dear Parents/Carers,

As a school we are very proud to deliver the highest quality of education for your child, along with offering them all of the additional experiences that we feel make our school so unique. We never become complacent and are always striving to further improve what we do.

One of the many ways that you can support us is through completing the annual Ofsted questionnaire – ‘Parent View’. This would only take you five-minutes and would be invaluable to us in knowing what we continue to do well and what, if anything needs a tweak!

If you are unsure about any of the questions, rather than clicking the ‘don’t know option’, please visit our school website to find out more information or ask a member of the team before completing the survey. Please also find attached a reminder of our feedback from our Parent Survey from the summer term.

Please let us know if you would prefer to complete this survey in school or if not, follow the link below.

Free School Meals

Dear Parents/Carers,

We already have many families who enjoy the benefits after applying for Free School Meals and we urge you to reconsider if you meet the criteria listed below.

By applying for Free School Meals, very often parents think it is all directly linked to school dinners- it isn’t! If you qualify for Free School Meals, it also means that you are entitled to significantly reduced prices for school trips, breakfast clubs and after school clubs. There are many other benefits that your child could directly receive to potentially support them at home and if needed, with their learning at school.

Families with children in years Reception up to Year 6 can apply for Free School Meals if they are entitled to certain benefits and have an annual income of £16,190 or below.

Please follow the below link as this will take you to the Telford & Wrekin website where you are able to access more information and download an application form which will be sent directly to the team. Or alternatively, speak to a member of staff in the school office for support in applying.

Reading in Reception

The children in Reception have been working so hard and they are making great progress with their phonics and reading. Lots of children are now starting to bring home books/sheets to practise reading at home.

The phonics books that the children bring home need to be kept in their reading packs so they can be accessed at school each day, and swapped for new ones each week. Usually, book change takes place on a Friday, but this varies between groups depending on where they are up to in their sessions. These books are to be read to an adult, not independently. They are used to develop fluency. If the book is not returned to school, we cannot swap it for the next one. The blending books are particularly small and easy to lose, so keep an eye out as they slide out the packs. When children move onto Red books and higher, they will bring home two books, a bookbag book and a paper copy of the book they have read in class. Both these books need storing in their packs and returning to school each day to be swapped when ready.

Thank you for your continued support,

Donations

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following the meeting that the Governors held with Breakfast Club/Afterschool club children, it came to light that the children would like more Lego /Minifigures to play with before and after school.

Since this meeting, we have looked and are rather astounded at the cost of such things now.

If you have children that have perhaps grown out of lego/minifigures, we would be happy to take them off your hands!

We are also after ‘small world’ items such as cars, farm animals, dolls, action figures, building blocks and push chair/prams.

If you can donate, please bring them along to the office.

Many thanks

Finance & Personnel committee school involvement

The Finance and Personnel Committee met on Monday 2nd December. They carefully looked at the financial aspects of our school and supported in prioritising forthcoming necessary expenditure. This included spending linked to special educational needs support. The Governors enjoyed talking to a group of children who attend our Breakfast and Afterschool club provision. They were happy to hear that the children spoke positively about both offers. The children suggested that money should be spent on more lego and minifigures! This will be investigated! Donations are gratefully received!
