Goodbye Madame Tatton

Our resident modern foreign language teacher, Madame Claire Tatton, will be leaving us at the end of the current term. Claire has been with us for two years teaching French and Spanish to the children with great energy and enthusiasm and I know she will be much missed. Claire is moving to a new job at Fairfield School in Loughborough, a move that will bring her much closer to her home and reduce the significant amount of commuting that she currently has to do.

We have already begun the process of seeking a suitable replacement and hope to announce a new teacher in this important curriculum area before the half term break. In the meantime, we wish Claire all the very best in her new school when the time comes for her to move on.

Safeguarding - Pupils Arriving At School And Collection

Please ensure that you wait with your child(ren) at drop off until the school's opening at 8.15am.  It is only at this time that school becomes responsible for all children's safe care. Before this time it is a parental duty.

Please note, however, that all children can be brought to the front door at any time from 7.45am - 8.15am where they will be welcomed and looked after by our Early Bird staff as appropriate for their age. This does not need to be booked in advance.

The end of the school day for Reception class is at 3.30pm and collection should be from the Pre-Prep entrance alongside the field.

For the rest of the school, the day finishes at 3.45pm and collection for Year 1 is from the Pre-Prep entrance, for Years 2, 3  and 4 from the main pupil door, and for Year 5 and 6 from the front of school. 

Also please let the school office and/or your child's form teacher know if someone else will be collecting your child at the end of the day. We cannot release pupils without this information.

Many thanks

Accelerated Reading

We hope that you have all had a great summer of reading.

Quizzing this term for Years 3 - 6 will only be available in school. The children are welcome to pop along to the IT suite between 0815 and 0845 any morning and quiz. This will be open from Tuesday 7 September.

I know the children will have hopefully read many books, but I recommend that they only quiz on the last two that they have read from the summer, it is not a memory test or a competition. Thank you for your support with this.

There will be an online information session for our Online platforms in both Pre-prep and upper school, the week of 13 September, more information will follow.
