Where Every Child Matters and Every Day Counts!
Welcome Back!
We hope you have had a lovely summer break.
A warm welcome to our new starters: We hope our new nursery children and the
children joining from other schools settle in well. And welcome to our new teachers,
Mrs Corcoran and Miss Tillmanns. We also have two new lunch time assistants.
Mrs Hall and Mrs Southcombe.

New Build Progress
As you are probably aware, there has been a
great deal of building underway over the summer
holidays. The frame is now up and the next few
months will see the walls and the internal fittings
begin to be installed.
Attendance Matters
Being in, and on time is vitally important for your child’s education. We are aiming to get our school
attendance over 96% this year. Last year it fell below 94%. More information will follow.
Any child reaching 100% for a term will received a special certificate and a gift token as a reward.
School Uniforms.
Thank you for all your efforts keeping the children looking smart in their uniforms last term. It makes a
difference to the ethos and the learning around school. Currently the uniform is still the red sweat shirt, white
polo and black or grey trousers or skirts. Please can shoes be black if possible. We are aiming for a 100% full
uniform September!
This is the last year of the red uniforms, as of September 2016, we will be using the new navy and light blue
uniforms. Every child who is registered at the school in September 2016 will receive a free uniform sweatshirt
and tee shirt if funds allow.
PE Kits
A reminder, we supply the children with indoor PE kits. These are kept in school and washed frequently.
Your child may need to bring in pumps or trainers for outdoor use. Your class teacher will inform you of the PE
days. Children do indoor PE in bare feet and outdoor in trainers or pumps.
Miss Heath
Miss Heath continues to be off school as she is receiving
treatment for her illness. We have been in touch over the
summer and she is now back at home. We will keep you
informed of any developments, hopefully Miss Heath will
be well enough to have visitors and even visit us soon.
Miss Styan and Mrs Henderson will be the two Assistant
Headteachers during Miss Heath’s absence.
Holidays in Term Time
If you have taken a holiday in term
time you will receive a fine from
the local authority! Please try to
book holidays during the school
breaks. We cannot authorize any
term time holidays.
