Letter from Headteacher

Dear Parents/Carers

Thank you for your AMAZING response to our food bank collection organised by Ms Zoe Lloyd. We placed shopping trollies at both the junior and infant drop off points, and we were overwhelmed to see them overflowing before 9am.

Your amazing generosity will go to help so many families/people in need. The past year has been tough on everyone and Hope Restored have also found it difficult, but thankfully they have managed to stay open through the pandemic to help more families than ever.  Hope Restored were truly blown away by the amount of food donated.

Brenda from Hope Restored will be featured on BBC’s Songs of Praise on Sunday, October 24^th at 1.15pm talking all about the food bank and the amazing work they do at Hope Restored.  Thank you for your constant support in all that we do.

Double Bubble Dress Down Day – The children looked amazing on Wednesday in their Fancy dress costumes  and we raised over £305 towards the Ty Gobaith Charity (this amount will be doubled by them).  Thank you so much for your generosity once again. 

Tempest Photography – If you have ordered photographs and asked for them to be delivered to school, we have not had the delivery as yet.  We will distribute the photos after half term when they arrive.

PTA fundraising event for Nursery and Reception pupils reminder – there will be a prize for the best decorated Halloween themed milk bottle (small plastic milk bottles have been send home).  We would be grateful if you could please pop any spare coins that you may have into the bottles.  Please can the decorated bottles be returned after half term on Monday 1^st November – thank you!       

Year 5 Cycle Training reminder – these will be held on Thursday 11^th, 18^th and 25th November.

Dogs – Please can we remind parents/carers that dogs (except assistance dogs) are NOT allowed on school premises – this means they should not come into school through the gates (even if they are being carried).

Covid Symptoms- Reminder – We do still have Covid measures in place although some have been relaxed and our response to a positive case will not lead to whole contact groups being asked to isolate.  One of the key factors in ensuring the success of the current measures is that we keep the virus out of school.  Therefore, we ask you to ensure that you do not send your child to school with any Covid symptoms or if they are unwell.

LOST PROPERTY – a number of cardigans/jumpers/water bottles etc have been left in school without any names on them.  Please ensure you label all your childrens’ belongings.  Thank you.                 

Packed Lunches reminder – to reduce the risk of choking, please ensure any grapes/cherry tomatoes provided in lunchboxes / for snacks are cut lengthways. 

School Meals – please ensure that you pay for any meals in advance via Parent Pay.  You can check what meals are available on particular days on the CCBC website or click on the link below –
