PHIL & JIM WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
FR IDAY 11TH JUNE 2021
Dear parents and carers,
We hope you had a pleasant and restful half term break and are ready to enjoy what the rest of this academic year has to offer.
Staff news Its is with sadness that we announce Mr Carter will be leaving us at the end of this academic year, after 13 years of work-ing at Phil and Jim. We will miss his creative energy and enthusiasm. He is going to a post in another Oxfordshire school.
Hello. I am Miss Colley. I am excited to relocate to Oxford and join Phil and Jim School in September. I have taught in Glasgow for the last 5 years and completed my education at The University of Glasgow. I love to walk my dog and read. I really enjoy teaching reading and discussing characters and storylines from books. I also enjoy growing vegetables in my garden. Whilst teaching I have found that building positive relationships are key to a productive learning environment. I look forward to getting to know you and your families in the upcom-ing months. I believe in a fun, challenging, holistic education and strive to do my best for the students I teach everyday.
Parent governor vacancy We will have a parent governor vacancy from September 2021. Although there is some time commitment to this role, it is an incredibly rewarding way to support your child’s school. If you would like to talk more about the role of parent gov-ernor, I know that our current parent governors would be more than happy to share their experiences with you. As always if you would like to talk through any queries or concerns, please make an appointment with Ms Underwood by sending an email to [email protected] or telephoning the school on 01865 311064.

Class Photos We are please to say that the class photos from Tempest have arrived. Your child will be sent home with a proof, if you would like to order a copy please could you return your order ASAP.
SUNSHINE
Please make sure your child has a named sunhat in school. They also need appropriate clothing for the weather.
In regards to sun cream, due to the Safeguarding policies we have to follow in school, as well as the additional COVID-19 rules we are unable to apply any sun cream to the children throughout the day. Therefore, you might prefer to use the suntan lotions that last the full day, allowing you to apply it before the children come to school. If this is not possible, we would ask that you still apply suntan lotion before your child comes to school. We will
assist them as much as we can but unfortunately they will have to apply it themselves. They are not permitted to share sun cream so please clearly label bottles and remind children of this.
Water bottles must only contain water please.
Open toed sandals are cooler to wear but not very safe when exploring outside and playing on climbing equipment. Please could we also ask that you consider the footwear for your child/ren and provide them with something that will protect
their feet.

ASC Extension Option Now Available– A Note from Mr Sadler
Following feedback, I am pleased to announce that you are now able to book a 4.15-5.30pm slot for After School Club. This is called
'After Clubs, Top Up ASC'. This is only for parents that have booked their child on to a sports club which finishes at 4.15pm, but need
After School Club until 5.30pm. The cost of this is £8. Please visit Magic Booking to secure your space.
Please note you are unable to book a Sports Club if you are currently booked for After School Club on that day. You will need to can-
cel your After School Club space on that particular day, then book the sports club, and then add the 4.15-5.30pm top up ASC. At the
time of going to press there were still spaces available on most clubs, and a walk through for Magic Booking is on our website if need-
ed. Any questions please let me know.

COMMUNITY NEWS To coincide with National Thank a Teacher Day, 23 June 2021, Oxfordshire Coun-ty Council is asking for messages of appreciation for teaching and support staff. Last year’s touching comments showered praise and thanks on teachers and sup-port staff during the challenging months of the Pandemic – and we want to hear more this year! During the past year staff have work tirelessly to provide lessons and resources, in many cases remotely, and this is a way to publicly to show huge appreciation for them.
We would be glad to receive short contributions (Twitter-length) from children, parents or guardians who wish to say thank you in any way they see fit – comments, poems, or other... Please send to [email protected] by Friday 18 June.
On Thank a Teacher Day a selection of the tributes will be shared on the Council website and on social media, using the hashtag #ThankATeacher Attached are some flyers you may like to use to encourage contributions. We thank you in anticipation of hearing of the impact of the dedication, inspiration, support and brilliance of your staff. (It would be most helpful if you would include a contact number should the local radio wish to go live with any of the com-ments. Chris Dyson, OCC’s Media contact for this project, will contact you on the day itself, if so). Kind regards School Improvement Team
