Welcome To
Regents Park Community Primary School
Believe in Yourself - Anything is Possible!
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Dear Parents,
Thank you to all of you for coming this morning (Monday 17th July) to share some time with me beforee I leave. I hoped that I wouldn't be sitting all on my own and I wasn't!
Over the years I have had the privilege to get to know many children and parents, sometimes seeing 3 generations of the same family pass through school.
It's always good to hear of their achievements and even see them bring their own children to our nursery.
I feel lucky to have experienced a wonderful time with your lovely, amazing children who I know I am going to miss so much.
Regents Park is such a warm and happy place. Don't tell Mr Beale but I never really thought of it as coming to work. We have had so much fun, learning together over the years.
Your generosity is overwhelming as always.
Thank you,
Mrs Stephens
Dear Parents/ Carers,
As I said yesterday, it is likely that we will not be able to hold the Summer Fayre in the playground tomorrow due to heavy rain that is forecast for most of the day. We are planning to move as much as possible indoors so that the Summer Fayre can still go ahead.
However, we are not able to accommodate all our parents and families at one time so we asked for you to choose a timeslot on a first come, first served basis by completing of form online.
When it closed at lunchtime we had had 168 responses with nearly 75% of them asking for 1.00pm. As I've said, for health & safety reasons, we have not been able to give everyone their first choice so some people will be disappointed but I hope everyone will understand.
We won't be sending out tickets at this late stage but, if you completed the form, you should now have been sent by text a time to arrive at school. Please only arrive for the Summer Fayre at this time - unfortunately, you won't be able to come in earlier.
Due to a lack of space, we won't be able to accommodate pushchairs inside and we won't be able to leave them under the canopy if it is raining so please try to leave them at home or make sure they can be covered outside if it's raining.
To be fair to all parents and families, the timeslots are only 40 minutes long. We will need you to leave when your timeslot finishes so other parents can attend. You may take your children with you when you leave.
I hope you will help support is with these arrangements tomorrow so that it can still be a fun afternoon for everyone.
Thanks
Mr Beale
Dear Parents,
We have been looking forward to inviting parents and families into school for our annual Summer Fayre this Friday 14th July from 1.00pm. We have held this event a number of times and have always been lucky with the weather.
Unfortunately, looking at the weather forecast for Friday, there is a possibility of heavy rain on Friday afternoon when we have planned the Summer Fayre to take place.
We have been looking at alternative arrangements, including bringing as much as possible of the Summer Fayre indoors on Friday. However, for health and safety reasons, we do not have the space indoors to accomodate lots of parents and families all at the same time.
We will make a decision on Friday morning about whether to move the Summer Fayre indoors. However, to help us plan for bad weather and prevent large numbers of people all arriving at the same time, we are going to organise a ticket system and ask that you arrive at different times through the afternoon.
Please complete the online form to indicate
Tickets will be issued on a first come, first served basis so please indicate your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. You will still be able to collect your children when you arrive and leave you have finished at the Fayre.
The link to complete the form is here: https://forms.office.com/e/9daQbhXZLh
Thank you for your co-operation,
Mr Beale
Dear Parents/ Carers,
It is with some sadness that I am letting you know that Mrs Stephens will be retiring this Summer. Mrs Stephens has worked at Regents Park for nearly 47 years! Almost all of our parents will know Mrs Stephens if their children have come through school from our Nursery or if they themselves were at Regents Park as children in the last 47 years!
I'm sure that many parents would like to see Mrs Stephens before she retires to thank her for her service to the local community and the families of Regents Park over the years.
As such, we are organising a Coffee & Cake morning in school on Monday 17th July from 9.45am when you are welcome to pop in and give your best wishes to Mrs Stephens in person.
If you know of any other parents (current or former) who would like to come in and see Mrs Stephens, please feel free to let them know. We'd like to invite you to attend at any time between 9.45am and 11.00am.. If you are able to contact the school office by this Friday to let us know that you or anyone else you know will be attending, that will help us with organising refreshments.
We hope to see lots of parents joining us on Monday.
Thank you,
Mr Beale
Dear Parents/ Carers,
I'm pleased to let you know about the Parents' Evening we are organising on Wednesday 12th July from 3.15 - 5.45pm.
This is the last parents' evening for this academic year and is an opportunity for you to talk about your child's progress and their report if you would like to.
As before, parents will be asked to use an online booking system to book a 5 minute appointment with their children's class teachers on Parents' Evening.
To fit as many parents in as possible, we will have to be quite strict about the timings of the appointments so please don't be late and please don't be offended if the teacher has to end the appointment after 5 minutes to meet the next parent.
Guidelines for Parents' Evenings:
Booking appointments with your child's class teacher:
We're looking forward to welcoming parents into school on either the 12th July. If anything changes, we will let you know so please look out for any messages we send via text.
We look forward to seeing you all,
Mr Beale
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Reports for 2022-23
Tomorrow your child will come home with their annual school report for 2022-23. The report will be sent with your child in a sealed envelope. Along with the report will be a letter, your child's absence record and an information sheet about attendance. There will also be a copy of our annual Report Feedback & Parents Survey form which we would like you to complete and return - one for each child please. This form can also be completed online if you prefer - a link will be sent out to you via text message. We value all feedback so please do complete this form.
Parents Evening - Wednesday 12th July 2023 from 3.15pm to 5.45pm
On Wednesday 12th July, we will be holding a Parents Evening from 3.15pm to 5.45pm for any parents who would like to speak to their child's class teacher about their report or their child's progress this year. Unfortunately, as there is only opportunity for one parents evening this term, appointments will only be scheduled for 5 minutes so that all parents can attend if they wish to. Parents must be on time for their meeting when it has been booked. Once the reports have been sent out, I will send out a link to book appointments using the same email system we have used previously.
Summer Fayre - Friday 14th July from 1.00pm to 4.00pm
Also next week we will be holding our annual Summer Fayre. This has been very successful in previous years and we are looking forward to some good weather and lots of families joining us so that we can raise money for the children's School Fund.
As before, parents are invited to come into school at any time from 1.00pm to collect their children and visit the Summer Fayre with them. There will be lots to do so we hope you will bring lots of money to spend!
Entrance from 1.00pm will be via the Arthur Street gate and children will be able to be collected from signposted points in the classroom - there will be a rush at 1.00pm so please be patient if collecting at this time. You are welcome to stay for as long as you like - once you have collected your children, they will be your responisbility.
Parents who are unable to collect until home time will be asked to collect children from the collection points in the playground at 3.00pm. Again it would be helpful if you can arrive via the Arthur Street entrance. The Summer Fayre will carry on until about 4.00pm so parents who can't come until later can still visit it with their children.
