Dear Parents / Carers,

This week, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming new children to our school, with more new children joining us next week.  Our children have welcomed these children and helped them to settle very quickly.  Thank you children for ‘showing you care’.

Reward and Recognition Event

I have the pleasure of informing you that 4 of our staff have been nominated for their roles in school and for going above and beyond with the ways of being.  We are attending a presentation evening later today, where we hope one of them will be the overall winner.  Congratulations to Miss Goodwin, Mrs Dean, Mrs Hartley and Mrs Bebbington. 

Wellbeing & Mental Health Information

During the last 18 months many of the newsletters have had links and website information on to support wellbeing in children and adults as well as mental health information.  I hope you have found this information useful as I plan to continue to do this.  This week, we have received leaflets from ‘Mind’ regarding these issues rather than electronic versions.  If you would like a leaflet or you think someone would benefit from one, they are in the main entrance.   Feel free to take one.

Harvest

Usually, we enjoy inviting parents into school to take part in our harvest celebrations.  As levels of Covid are still high in the area, we will be holding a harvest festival but for the children only.  We would however, still like to support our local charity Alice as we know how much our donations have meant to families who are in need.
Our celebration is Monday 11th October.  The donations that have been recommended are toiletries, sanitary products, baby products and tinned products.  

Thank you in advance for your support with this charity.

Parking in Abbots Way

As mentioned last week, the number of complaints about people parking illegally along Abbots Way (and roads off Abbots Way) is growing daily.  I have spoken to the local council who are very concerned about this.  They will be meeting soon to discuss ways to tackle this problem.

I know some parents have asked if I can actually do anything further, but the police have made it very clear that I can’t.  If you do see someone parked illegally, please report this to the police on 101.  They will then take further action.

Please can I ask that you make any adult who collects your child aware of this situation.  Thank you.

Thank you for your continued support.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Take care

Mrs Wilmer
