School Closes on Fri 20th Dec and

Re-0pens Tues 7th Jan 2020

Parking Please can we kindly remind parents to be considerate when parking on streets surrounding the school.

Please Label Clothes We have recycled rather a lot of

clothes from last year as we couldn’t return them without

labels. Please remember to label all uniform items and coats.

Lost property -- Big Thank you There has been a big improvement and we have far less lost property. Thank you for labelling your children’s clothes.

Thanks to all the parents still coming to English

lessons. We are very lucky to have free lessons

provided by the ESOL students. Many thanks to

them also.

Odd Socks Day is designed to encourage people to express themselves

and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! Thank you Y1 for a lovely photo

Have you heard about our new, personalised Old Moat app? School Gateway is our new platform for communicating with parents.

Interested? It’s free to download on smartphones and all you’ll need to login is the email address and mobile number that we hold on your child’s records.

Darker Nights Re: Year 5 and 6 Pupils

For the safety and well-being of your child, all pupils attending after school activities in the winter months

must be collected by an adult and will not be permitted to walk home by themselves.

Please remember that older siblings must be over the age of 16 to chaperone children home.

All Different , all

acheiveing

Pudsey says

Thank You!

We collected over £160

Well done and thank you to Mrs Hinds and the amazing Green Heroes for helping our school community to recycle. They put in 100% and expect nothing back. We are so proud of them!
