March 18 2022

Dear Parents/carers,

Big Question:

What do you think is the most important part of our school vision?

Each week we focus on a Big Question in school. This forms the focus of worship and discussions. We thought we would share this each week on the newsletter so that you can chat about it at home.

Parents Evening:

Our next parents’ evenings are to be held on Tuesday 22^nd March (4pm – 6.30pm) and Wednesday 23^rd March (3.30pm – 6.00pm). As before, you need to book your appointments online and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. You will be able to book appointments from 7pm on Monday 14^th March until midday on the day of the evening.

Please make every effort to attend so that we can share your child’s progress with you. If you can’t make these dates then please speak to your child’s class teacher to arrange an alternative date and time.

I have attached a guide on how to access the system.

Non-uniform for Eli:

We are more than happy to support the family with this and so we will be holding a non-uniform day on Monday 28^th March. As Eli’s favourite colour is red we thought we would choose this as a theme. Please make a donation on this day towards the family’s travel costs to support Eli’s treatment.

Tea-Time Club:

Mother’s Day

Wednesday 23rd – Friday 25th March

Come along and make something special for Mum, Gran, Nan, Auntie or Sister, to say ‘Thank you’ this Mother’s Day.

Handmade Cards and Crafts are a wonderful way to show you care.

Places are limited, so please book early!

To book your child’s place, please call or email the school office.

Mrs Wharton and Miss Hacking
