Reception (KG2) Sports Morning

Dear Reception (KG2) Parents,

We would like to invite you to the Reception (KG2) Sports Morning on Wednesday 8th February 08.30-09.30 in the Infant playground. Please come along and support your children. After the sports event the children will have a normal morning in school.

Could I ask  parents to leave the children with their teachers as usual and then return to the playground for 8:20.  Mr David will set up a seating area for parents who need to wait in school. This allows staff to set up the playground and organise the children more easily. A reminder that parents may photograph their own children only, for safeguarding reasons. Do not photograph staff or other adults without their permission. These are the E safety protocols of the school. Thank you for your co-operation. The Reception team look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

If you have any questions on this kindly ask Ms Nicola Kelly Primary Headteacher or Ms Hanan in the school office.

Regards,

Jan Brettingham

Principal

Start Spring Term

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the new school term. A PCR test for students is not compulsory for entry. If your child has flu/cold  like symptoms they should remain at home until these have gone and take a PCR. Also there are a number of respiratory illnesses still with us so we ask you, as always, to help the protection of our community. All staff will be tested before entry.

Greetings for the New Year.

Best wishes,

Principal
