Good luck to Stephanie who is swimming for Crescent School at the ISA National Finals at the London Olympic Pool on Sunday.

We are very proud of you.

A link to sign up for next term's co-curricular clubs has been sent out today. Please ensure you select your child(ren)s choices by Sunday 5 December 2021.

We will try our best to accommodate everyone but, as I am sure you would agree, we do have to adhere by ratios for safety. 

There are a few new clubs for children to try, the choice is wide and varied.

The playground will be open for car parking from 3.10pm. Face masks are to be worn please.

Reception and Year 1 children can be collected at 3.20pm, so the children can enjoy the fun before the older children arrive. Years 5 and 6 are to be dismissed from the pupil door. All other classes will be dismissed from their normal collection points and times.  Please then come round to the front door where you will be welcomed in to to enjoy all of the fun from 3.45pm. 

Entry and exit will only be through the front doors.

Unfortunately, children in After-School will not be able to attend as they will need a parent or guardian to be with them.  If your child is in a co-curricular club then they will be expected to attend their club, unless other arrangements have been made.

Please be aware that once your child is handed over to you at dismissal, they are your responsibility.

I am sure it will be a great event and we look forward to seeing you.

We are delighted to be able to inform you all that we are now able to internally film both Nativities this December.  Vimeo links for personal use only will be sent to all parents after the performances.

Best wishes

It is with great regret that we have decided to cancel the History of Christmas afternoon for Year 3 and 4, as Mrs Yates is unable to deliver this at the moment. These classes will still have great fun at their Christmas Party and on Christmas Art Day, there is also a Theatre Trip booked for them next term. 

We love sharing Christmas cards here at Crescent School but all cards will need to be put in our special Christmas postbox which we will situate near the pupil entrance.

This will be available from Monday 29 November and all cards must be in before Friday 10 December.  They will be sorted by the Year 6 children and given to children before the end of term.

Things to remember:

• Please do not lick down envelopes

• Put the full name of the recipient on the envelope and their class

A donation to this term's charity, the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Please would parents ensure that children do not come into school wearing jewellery.

Necklaces and bracelets can easily be broken or lost and are potentially hazardous for children taking part in physical activities or experiments. 

Earings – children are not permitted to wear earings to school due to health and safety.  If a child forgets to remove their earings, we will ask them to remove them and put in an envelope to bring home.

We discourage watches being worn in Pre-Prep but they can be worn in the Upper School to aid learning.  

Thank you for you cooperation with this health and safety matter.

Books are always great to buy for Christmas. We are not holding a book fair this year, but we would really appreciate your support by buying from the Scholastic Book Club. The books can be delivered to school and we will let you know they have arrived so that you can collect them.

Our new Scholastic Book Club is up and running. Please click on the link below to browse the latest books and order online. For every £1 you spend on this month’s Book Club, our school will earn 20p in Scholastic Rewards.
