Parents Evening
Our first parent evenings of the new academic year will take on Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th October 4pm-6pm.
You will receive a booking form next week enabling you to book your preferred time and day.
Please return this to school as promptly as you can to ensure you are given the time slot you prefer, or as close as we can give you.
More information about the evening and its organisation will be provided in the booking letter.
Holiday Club During Half Term
We are able to provide holiday child care in our school nursery for the coming half term, except Friday 28th. So the club will run Monday 24th Oct –Thursday 27th Oct. Please see our website for how to book a place at the club for your child.
Safety Crossing the Road
I am increasingly concerned, as I know many of you are, about the safety of crossing the road from the church to school, without a crossing patrol officer. I wish to stress that the employment of this person is not the responsibility of school, but Staffordshire County Council. I have contacted the department again today to stress my concerns.
We are very grateful to Reverend Stewart for providing this parking facility at the church, as this is a relatively new thing. Prior to this, parents were able to park in the village hall car park, but this was stopped by the Parish Council. I have also emailed them to stress the concerns of school and indeed yourselves about the danger of crossing the road without assistance.
Until a crossing patrol officer is appointed, for safety reasons, I would advise you to park along the Longton Road and enter the premises through the track running to the playground gate from the main road.
News from Mrs Clarey
I wish to inform you that I will be taking early retirement in May of next year. My last day will be 26th May, the day we break up for half term. Having been in the profession for 32 years, I feel it’s time to go and do something else.
We will keep you updated as to when a new head has been appointed.
That was hard for me to write, but there we are, it’s done!
Best wishes
Mrs Clarey and Team
