The Courier

We are looking forward to meeting with parents from Years 3, 4 and 5 over the next couple of weeks. This is your opportunity to meet with your child's form tutor about how they are settling in. All meetings are being held in form rooms apart from 3SS, who will be in room 2.

No specialist teachers will be available apart from Mrs Webb in Year 5 (for English).  

You are welcome to park in the playground for your meeting (from 3.45pm), then please come to the Main School entrance (front of school), where you will be welcomed with refreshments.

Tuesday 17 October 2023 3.00pm to 5.00pm

My understanding is that the scores from the 11+ should be arriving on or about this day. Any Year 6 parents who wish to discuss their child's 11+ results and implications are welcome to see Mr Thackway and me between 3.00pm and 5.00pm on Tuesday 17 October - please just drop in via the main school entrance. 

Even if you do not feel that you wish to have a discussion, please inform us of the position and scores of your child. The local authority does not inform us and we need the results for our records.

We are looking forward to meeting with parents from Reception, Year 1 and 2 over the next couple of weeks. You are welcome to park in the playground (from 3.45pm) for your meeting, then please make your way to the following areas:

• Years 1 and 2 - Mortimer Foyer doors at the bottom of the playground  
• Reception - Horton Centre doors from the playground

All the consultations are held in your child's form room and refreshments will be available. The meetings are with the form tutor only.  

If your child is in After School, please collect in the normal manner. 

Friday 20 October 2023

This term, we are raising money for the Children's Air Ambulance with a fundraising non-unform day and games on the gate on Friday 20 October.  

The optional theme for non-unform day is 'Superheroes and everyday heroes' (as decided by our school council) and we will also be running a 'Design your own hero' art competition over the next few weeks, with a deadline of the 18 October. Entries should be handed to Ms Clark with a £1 donation. 

Suggested donation of £1 for non-unform day and please send in 50p's for games on the gate.

Thank you.

Monday 6 November to Friday 10 November 2023

During the week commencing Monday 6 November parents are invited to come into school from 8.15am to 8.40am to watch and support their child in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 while they quiz on their reading books.

The quiz platform is not available at home so this is a super opportunity for parents to share the experience.

Half-term is a great time for your child to finish reading a book and that will give you an extra excuse to see your child at work.

We look forward to welcoming you.

This year we would like to see pictures of your pumpkin that you might decorate or carve for Halloween. Every entry will receive 5 points for their house. There will also be 150 points for the individual winner in PrePrep (R-2) and Upper School (3-6), 100 points for second place and 50 points for 3rd. There is a chance that one house could win all six sets of points! 

Please can pupils and staff send pictures of their creations, with their name, class and house to their staff house captains to the emails below anytime from 31 October - 6 November and the winners will be announced on Friday 10 November in Assembly. Please do not bring in the actual pumpkin and it is NOT COMPULSORY to enter.

Good luck
