The children have met briefly and have been invited to come back with suggestions for outside playground
equipment that may be used at lunchtimes. At next week’s meeting children will be invited to donate small items
of unwanted toys or pencils/crayons, reading books and drawing books or toiletries that may be packed into a
shoebox and then sent to the Rotary Club prior to sending to orphanages abroad. Any donations are very much
appreciated.

sitting on the window ledge.

Parent Governors
We have vacancies on the Governing Body for two Parent Governors. Parents of children at the school are
eligible to put themselves forward and, in the event of more than two people wishing to stand, the Governors
have asked me to organise an election.
If you are interested in helping the school to continue moving forward towards Outstanding, would you contact
me on Monday or Tuesday next week and I will explain the process and and answer any questions or concerns
that you have. Further information will come out next Thursday.
Reminders
 No parents should be parking in the staff car park except those who have been to seek my permission for an
extraordinary reason.
 There are still about 30 Student Update Forms that have not been returned. If you are one of the parents who
have not returned the form, please do so as soon as possible. It is important that we have the right contact
details for you.
 Please remember that pupils should only be drinking milk or water in school except at lunchtime when if they
do bring a packed lunch then they can bring squash or fruit juice. Please do not send bottles of juice or squash
in for break time.
 Paying by Cheque – Unless you are told to the contrary, please can you make any cheque payments for
dinners, trips, after-school care, etc. payable to Lincolnshire County Council.
And finally, details will follow next week about a “School Uniform Emporium” which may save some of you a little
money.
Yours sincerely,
Ray Borrell
Headteacher
