AUTUMN TERM 1 BULLETIN 4th October 2019
Headteacher’s Message
Thank you for making our Macmillan event so successful on Friday last week! It was a really diffi-
cult event to organise as we have been plagued with staff absence, leaving very few people to get
the hall and cake stall ready—so thank you for your patience and to those of you that offered to
help out too! It makes such a difference!
I am pleased to announce that we have raised a whopping £
Amazing.

UNIFORM REMINDER
We do not have too many rules around

here to the following DAILY:

School SHOES (not trainers)
Grey trouser/skirt
White shirt/blouse
Regulation hair cuts and hair styling
(ribbons, clips, bows etc. should be
sensible in size and in school colours)
WSA Update
The WSA are pleased to announce that a total of over £7,000 was raised for the school last year through events such as
the Christmas and Summer Fetes, discos, movie nights and bags to school.
The profit from last year (£5000) will be ring fenced and will join ALL profits made this year as we endeavour to save
enough money to replace the wooden ‘castle’ playground structure which has sadly come to the end of its life. This is a
HUGE project as we estimate £25,000 will be needed if we are to replace it with something similar in size.
Unfortunately, no new members came to the AGM last week which means that we have only
4 parent members who are working tirelessly to make all this happen. This is not enough
and we are calling out to all of you to lend a hand and show support for our amazing PTA!
Please get in touch via [email protected] so put yourself forward
for regular or ad-hoc help. Every little extra bit of man-power really does help.
Watch this space for more regular WSA updates and information!
We are collecting!

EARLY YEARS are invited to bring in 50p on Wednesday to
purchase a Halloween cookie should they wish. They are
not invited to this disco due to the nature of the event
and their age. However, do not fear! They WILL be invited
to the Christmas and Summer discos!
This week, school staff have suffered several
angry complaints from other
parents and local residents as a
result of YOUR PARKING!
Please park legally and safely.
