News - December 2008
Dear Parents
Kate Lockyar, a local artist who worked with the Infant children has now completed the project which is affixed to a wall in the back playground. This was an exciting wall project which enhances the playground.
Thank you for your support for the Christmas Fair which raised over £2300 on the day. It was nice to see so many there enjoying themselves.
On Friday there is a puppet show for the children. We do ask for a voluntary donation of £1.50 towards the cost. The rest is subsidised through the school fund. Thank you to those who regularly donate their 50p a week to this fund.
Next week are the Christmas plays and the raffles are a major fundraiser for the school. As always we are asking the children if they could possible bring in a tin or something suitable for the raffle. The tins brought in are made into hampers.
Could I remind parents that the Christmas plays are not suitable for very young children and the hall needs to be very quiet so the voices of all the children aged 4-7 can be heard. A video of the play will be available so I would therefore ask that parents do not bring their own video as they can obscure the view of those behind you. Thank you for your co-operation.

Further Ofsted News
I am very happy to be able to advise you to look at the standards page of the website to see our recent Ofsted report. It is now in a far shorter version than previous ones but I feel that it does reflect the spirit of the school. I would like to say that the school would not achieve what it does without the support of parents, volunteer workers and the local community, so thank you to you all.

Additional Notes
Can I remind you that we do need to know on the first day if your child is going to be absent. Please telephone the school by 9.30 am. If you are requesting permission for a holiday I do need the request in writing before the absence. Please remember that the maximum number of days that can legally be granted is 10 working days. Any amount over is an unauthorised absence.
Not sure if your child would like hot dinners—- try them for a week and see! (Menu enclosed and on display in notice board.) Please remember to send in the correct dinner money in a named envelope on a Monday morning—-£7.00 per week. Thank you.

The school has a race relations policy. This is monitored by the Governors who assess its impact on the school. The policy is considered to be working well.
