School Battery Recycling Competition
We want your old batteries! We are taking part in the School Battery Recycling Competition, where winning schools will receive Amazon Vouchers.
Please start collecting your old household batteries, and send them into school. We have a few battery collection boxes, if you would like one please call into the school office to pick one up, or send the School Office a message on Dojo, and we can send one home.
The winning school will receive Amazon Gift Vouchers.
International Walk to School Month
October is International Walk to School Month and to celebrate, Living Streets have created an Autumn Street Safari. If you don’t do so already, why not try walking to school, or if it’s too far – parking a little further away and walking the rest of the way. How many of the activities you can do on your walk? Children who walk to school can also earn WOW badges, with a different fun design each month.
Attendance Reminders
- If your child is going to be absent from school please inform the school office by 9.30am by phone, email, or messaging ‘The Office’ on class dojo.
- If your child has an appointment during the day, please try to minimise the amount of school missed by bringing them in before and/or after wherever possible.
- For planned absences / holidays please complete the form: https://forms.office.com/e/MruSui5Lfc
- Please try to arrive to school on time (between 8.40am and 8.50am). If you arrive after the gates have been closed you will need to accompany your child to the school office to sign them in.
