Parents' Evenings and Teacher Training Days in October

Dear Parents/ Carers,

 

We are already half way through the first half term and I hope you feel that your children are now settled back into school after the Summer holiday and enjoying learning in their new classes with their new teachers!

 

We have 4 more weeks until half term but I do want to give you lots of notice about when our Parents Evenings are and of two days when school will be closed for children due to staff training.

 

Parents Evenings - Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th October 2023

 

We will be holding Parents Evenings on Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th October from 3.15 to 5.45pm and I'm sure you will be very keen to join us on one of these two dates to meet your children's new teachers and find out how your children are doing.

 

As before we will be organising an online booking system for you to make appointments and these will be sent out via email next week. Please make sure we have an up to date email for you on our system. We will send out a text message to let you know when the emails will be sent.

 

Staff Training Days - School CLOSED to pupils on Thursday 26th & Friday 27th October 2023

 

We have two Staff Training Days booked for Thursday 26th and Friday 27th October which means school will be CLOSED on these days to ALL pupils.

 

This means that school will CLOSE for half term holiday at 3.00pm on Wednesday 25th October. School will REOPEN for ALL pupils on Monday 6th November at 8.40am.

 

Schools are allowed to take 5 Staff Training Days per academic year. So far this year we have had two days on the 4th and 5th of September and these two days are booked on 26th and 27th of October. One more Staff Training Day is booked for Monday 22nd July meaning the last day of the summer term for children will be Friday 19th July. I have listed all the term dates below - please note that our school may be open on a day on which your other children's school are closed.

 

 

Harvest food donations

 

Thank you to families who have sent in food for our Harvest collection. We will continue to accept donations this week and will then organise for them to be collected by local foodbanks. Thank you again for your generosity.
