Welcome
back to the final term of this academic year.
Refurbished Office
There
have been lots of positive comments about the location and presentation of the
new office. Office staff are finding it is improving
the service they offer. It has also reduced congestion into the main
hall in the morning. I hope you all find it an improvement.
Please
could we encourage you to leave dinner money including ‘Fantastic Friday’ money in an envelope
or named purse in your child’s classroom.
Final Easter Thanks
Thank
you to the Pearson Family Firm who assisted Easter Bunny in delivered eggs to
all the children during our Easter assembly with Reverend Jo.
Cuckoo
Day
Thank you to the National Trust and their volunteers who came and worked with each class in school to create a wheel
barrow on an endangered species theme. The school entered five wheelbarrows in
the cuckoo day procession. It was wonderful to see so many children ( and parents!!) helping push the barrows around the village.
Well Done to Class C whose “Great Crested Newts” won the first prize of a £20 book
token.
Health
and Safety Request
The school council are going to be setting homework
for all the children to design a poster reminding dog owners to be responsible
and clear up after their dog. Reports from the children and parents indicate
that this is not just a school issue but a community issue. It is very
disappointing that our caretaker is now having to regularly clear dog faeces from the playground before
the children can use the area. It is
Kirklees policy that no dogs are to be on school premises.

Governors
We
are pleased to inform you that we have a complete Governing Body and an upto date list of Governors is now in the external noticeboards. Governing Bodies are responsible for the overall
leadership and
management of the school and for ensuring that all those
connected with it are working together to raise standards. Governors are there
to respond to your questions and comments whether negative or positive. Contact
can be made with any Governor through the school.
Attendance
There
were 4 full time children received Silver certificates for achieving full attendance for the 2 last terms, and 9 children achieved
Bronze Certificates for full attendance for a term. Well
done to those families.
Good
attendance is vital to children making good progress in school. However, this does also require
the child to be fit and well enough to attend.
Friday 21st May- Cinema Night
INFO
are planning on trialing a
new fund raising event, a cinema night. Children will be able to come to school
and watch a film with their friends. A charge will be made for popcorn and a
drink. Further details
including the film title to follow.
Closure
Days
School
is closed on Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May and on Thursday 6th
