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

Parents Evenings

Reception’s parents’ evening is the week beginning Monday 11th November. Paper letters were sent home last week with the children. If you haven’t filled in the form please do so and return to your child’s teacher.

Y1-6 parent’s evenings will be during the week beginning Monday 2nd December. Please note that we have reverted back to our old system for arranging appointments. For the last couple of years, we have used an online booking system. This system came with an annual subscription of £1,000, which was used only twice a year. Due to tighter budgets this year, we have decided to move back to our old system (paper letters) and put the £1,000 towards subsidising for trips and visits.

 

Many thanks

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.
