There will be Parents’ Consultation evenings for all children except those in Pre-Reception in the week commencing Monday 12 November.  A letter giving details for your child(ren)’s year group accompanies this mailing.

Children in Years 3 – 6 (inclusive) have been given a leaflet regarding an art competition with a £150 top prize. There is an entry fee of £5 per drawing and the deadline is Wednesday 31 October (during the half term holiday). Any creative style is acceptable and the materials used can be ink, pencils, crayons, paints, acrylic, watercolour, chalk, gummed paper, glitter, tissue paper.  The artwork should be created on one of the following paper sizes: A5, A4 or A3.  Children can enter as many times as they like as long as the correct fee is included for each sketch.  Don’t forget to send full contact details on a separate sheet.  Good luck!

All Junior School children will be given the chance to create a “My School Christmas Card”.  Some children will be painting and drawing in school, others may bring their blank card home to complete.  The finished artwork will be sent off shortly after the half term holiday and fully finished printed samples, accompanied by order forms will follow.

Parents of children in Year 3 are reminded that pupils need shin pads and long green sports socks for football lessons after the half term holiday.

Junior school children going on the December ski trip MUST have a ski helmet before they will be allowed on the slopes.  A letter from Mrs Long should accompany this mailing for the relevant pupils.  If your daughter already possesses a helmet, please indicate this on the form.  Alternatively, Mrs Long will measure all the relevant heads and arrange for the correct sizes to be waiting for pupils at the resort.  The cost of hire is £10 per helmet for the duration of the holiday.

A double-sided sheet regarding the next Nearly New Shop opening times and the Christmas Market is included in this mailing. Please ask in the Office if you have not received it.

Just to remind parents of Year 6 pupils that the meeting regarding entry into our Senior School, will be taking place from 9.00 – 10.00am on Wednesday morning, 7^th November.
