Dear Parents and Carers,
Soccer 7s
The final Soccer 7s Tournament of the year is scheduled to take place next Saturday, 1st October. Strips will be issued to pupils next week. Parent volunteers are required to coach the teams on the day, parents who are able to help with this should get in touch with the school, any help parents can provide with this is really appreciated.
Meet The Teacher
Parents are warmly invited to visit classrooms after school next Wednesday, 28th September, to meet class teachers.
Uniform Swap
This year we plan to establish a uniform swap at the school. The first swap will take place next Friday 30th September at 12.15pm in Room 1 and it is hoped this will continue on the last Friday of each month. For parents who are not familiar with this, the idea is that used uniform, in good condition, can be swapped for uniform in a larger size, reducing the cost to parents and reducing waste. We would encourage all parents to consider this option before purchasing new uniforms. Parents who do not have items to swap, can purchase uniform for a donation to the school fund of 50p per item.
Wear It Pink
Our fundraiser for this term is Wear It Pink Day in aid of Breast Cancer Now. We will be holding a ‘Wear it Pink Day’ at the school on Friday 7th October. Pupils can choose to wear something pink to school that day and we will be collecting donations for Breast Cancer Now.
Bus Route
Thank you to all the parents who provided feedback in connection with the extended bus route to the bus stop at the Dental Surgery. This new route will begin after the October break. Further details will be shared with parents at the end of this term.
The free bus travel bus pass for 5-22 year olds can be obtained by completing an application form which is available by following this link :
