Weekly Update Thursday 19th September 2024

19 Sep 2024

Our Vision

We believe that our children should have the aspiration and opportunity to ‘Live life in all its fullness’ and ‘Shine like stars in the sky’.
 
New this week…
 
Behaviour Policy
At the start of the year, we like to send out the behaviour policy for information and as a reminder of our approach to managing behaviour in our school community.
We hope that this is helpful for parents. If you have any further questions about this, please speak with your child's class teacher of Mrs Taylor.

Charging Policy 
As part of our reviews as a governing body, we have reflected on how charges are made to parents and wanted to provide some clarity around how and when charges are applied to parent pay accounts and the expectations of when payments for these should be made.
We hope this is useful for parents:
 
School Lunches
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a daily basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Wrap Around Care
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a daily basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Enrichment Clubs
Clubs are booked on a termly basis. Once your child has booked onto a club, payments are then loaded to parent pay.
These should be settled in advance of the club commencing.
 
If you have any question around this, or have any difficulty paying for items, please contact Mrs Taylor for more support or help.  We thank you for your support in this.
 
Harvest Festival
At our harvest festival, Cedar class are sharing their learning and research about the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI). This charity is very important to us as a school due to the many farming families that make up our community. We have chosen to support this charity this harvest and instead of bringing in tinned goods we are asking families who are able to, to donate money. You can do this by following this link: https://rabi.org.uk/support-us/donate/ 
 
We look forward to welcoming everyone into our harvest festival in the school hall at 2:30pm today.
 
Bike ability training for Year 6 children on the 24th & 25th September
Year 6 children will learn to ride on the roads safely with a qualified bike ability instructor.
Children will need their bikes and helmets in school for the 24th and 25th of September. Please email the school office if your child does not have a bike. 
Consent forms are coming home with the Year 6 children today, please return the form to the class teacher or school office.
 
Forest School Wednesday
This half term Cedar will have their forest school sessions EVERY Wednesday. Children need to bring with them appropriate clothing and footwear to be outside all afternoon.  Please make sure that these items are named. Please note legs need to be covered due to nettles in the wildlife area.

Mrs Pawson has some books that she has finished with to sell and if anyone else has any donations they will be very welcomed, please drop them at Acorn Class next week.
