As we come to the end of the winter term, the Family Coach Service wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for helping make this term’s Parent Empowerment Groups a success.
Next half term is a bit of a short one but we do have some fantastic groups coming up!
They are now taking bookings for Spring 2 and the Summer term. They will be running these on ‘Increasing Confidence and Reducing Stress as a Parent’ and then in the summer term will also open up to do groups around transitions and the upcoming summer holidays.
Children are expected to come to school in their uniform each day. This includes wearing navy jumpers and fleeces. Please make sure all items of school uniform are labelled with your child’s name.
PE kit – white t-shirt, black or navy tracksuit bottoms and school navy jumper/fleece on top.
Parents/carers are asked to make every effort not to arrange appointments during the school day, except in emergencies. Please do not keep your child off school for the entire day unless absolutely necessary. If your child has a medical or dental appointment during school time, please inform the school office. You will be asked to provide a letter or appointment card.
If your child is aged 3 and 4 (born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020) they will be eligible to start reception class at primary school in September 2024. All parents need to apply by 15 January 2024, even if your child is already in the nursery class.
