JUNIORS CAKE SALE, Tuesday 25th February. As we are not receiving any extra funding from the Welsh Assembly towards the cost of the bus for the Y6 Cardiff trip this year, in order to address the shortfall, we have decided to hold a cake stall for years 3 to 6 (Juniors) on Tuesday February 25th. Any donations of cakes from the Y6 pupils will be greatly appreciated. Cakes will be sold for 50p each to the junior pupils at playtime.
DINNER MONEY ARREARS: Please can all parents ensure that any dinner money arrears on Parent Pay are paid in full urgently. Many thanks to parents who pay their dinner money on time. For information we are still reviewing all outstanding dinner money debt and will be telephoning parents with outstanding balances (of over £10 per family) to discuss. Many thanks for your co-operation.
MUSIC LESSONS – PAYMENT DUE: Music Lesson charges for this Term have now been added to Parent Pay accounts – please can these be paid asap. Parents of pupils taking Harp and Violin lessons have been e-mailed separately about this term.
NATIONAL TESTS YEARS 2- 6: Arrangements for the Statutory Tests for Years 2 – 6 are slightly different in that the reading and numeracy tests will be done on-line and the reasoning test along will be paper based. The window for the reasoning test is between 28th April and 5th May 2020 so please avoid taking holidays during this period. The on-line tests (number and numeracy) do not need to be administered during this period, they will be done at some point before the summer holidays. If your child happens to be absent on one of the days, they can sit the on-line test on their return.
