Whole School Weekly Bulletin 14/06/24

Whole School:

 

• We had 65 late marks this week that’s 31 less than last week! Well done to the 339 pupils who arrived at school on time every day ready to learn. Children arriving after 8:45am will be marked as late and parents will be asked to sign children in via the screen in the school office. If you are struggling to get your child to school on time or have concerns about your child being late, our PFSA Mrs Bedford will be available most mornings to offer support. Remember to report absences to the school office by 9:00am

 

• Reports will be sent out via SIMs Parent again this year. Make sure you can log into your account so you don’t miss out. If you need any help, please contact the school office.

 

• Reminder: The school is closed on Friday 21^st June for an inset day. Please do not send your children to school on this day.

 

• Did you know? Children who read and are read to are more creative and imaginative because reading nurtures the disposition and skillset that are fundamental to a child’s creativity.

 

• For your information the department for education guidelines have changed and now state that from September any term-time leave will not be authorised.

 

• Have your circumstances changed? Could you be entitled to free school meals? For more information and to apply please click the link below: https://www.somerset.gov.uk/children-families-and-education/school-life/free-school-meals/

• Next week is Art and DT week, throughout the week children will be making items to sell to parents. Years 1 to 6 will be selling their items in class on Thursday 20th June and Foundation stage will be selling their items on Wednesday 19^th June, gates will open at 2:45pm. Items will range in price from 50p to £2.50 and monies raised will be used towards the purchase of a kiln for the school.

• We are looking for any donations of duvet covers, sheets or curtains for the children to build dens with at lunchtimes. Any spare toy cars as well that you no longer need would be greatly appreciated. Please hand these into the office.

• Please return any clothes that your child has been changed into as we are very low on spare trousers, pants, socks, tights and knickers especially in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. Any donations of these items would be gratefully received.
