Keep up to date with all the news happening in school at the moment.
When you are ordering food for your children, please could you share with them, what you are ordering. Some pupils say they do not like the food that is being ordered and the catering team are not in a position to provide a different meal as it has not been ordered. There have been lots of tears this week and pupils not having a great deal to eat. We want to avoid this as it is important that they all get something they enjoy to keep them fuelled for the whole day.
Thank you for your understanding

Dear parents
Our spooky disco will take place on Tuesday 20th October. Pupils in Olive, Florence and Trinity will have their disco starting at 2.30pm and finish at 3.30pm . Please collect your child at this time on this day.
Pupils in Tregoning, Westbury and Bethania will start at 3.30pm until 4.30pm. All pupils can wear disco clothing to school on this day. The older pupils will have some time to do their hair and makeup after school if they want to do so.
Part time pupils from Olive, who attend mornings will have their disco in the morning with their class teachers. We want to ensure that the amount of pupils in the hall does not overwhelm them.
Tickets will be £3.50 and you pay the class teacher before the disco. If you have 2 pupils in school £6 if you have 3 , £8. The oldest child can pay their teacher the price of the ticket. This will enable them to have a drink, crisps, chocolate and sweets. Sorry, but if you have not paid before the disco, then we will not be able to admit your child and will call you to collect them. It is unfair on everyone who has paid if you do not. You have plenty of notice of the cost.
Finish time
Olive, Florence and Trinity 3.30pm
Tregoning, Westbury and Bethania 4.30pm
Many thanks for your understanding
Dear Parents , the LA have changed the reception area in our school to make it more secure and safe for staff and pupils. You will not be able to enter the school by ringing the bell, instead you will speak through the hatch and if it is necessary for you to enter we will release the door.
At arrival and departure times the door will be open to allow pupils to leave. For security, there is no longer a switch in the main area of reception which can be pressed to exit. There is now a remote switch which is accessed from the school office to allow visitors to exit the building.
Please also note that the company who provide the school APP is no longer available. Until further notice all messages will be given through facebook and on the school website.
If you know anyone who is not on our facebook page or needs access, could you please encourage them to do so.

Lockdown Practice
Over the next couple of weeks we will carrying out a lockdown practice of the whole building. On this day we will send out a message to you as though it is a real lockdown. We will not be providing you with the date of this lockdown as we want to ensure our procedures are working. There is no need for you to do anything . We just want to ensure that you are getting the information and that you are all clear that you cannot call the school or come to the school when this lockdown is happening.
The gates will be closed and we will not be answering the phones. The children's centre and Jellitotz will be also be in lockdown because it is the whole building. We have done this twice already and the pupils are more than happy about the procedure.
This is part of our usual procedures. Fire drills, lockdown and evacuation need to be rehearsed termly in case they are needed.

Dear parents
We appreciate that over the summer some pupils will find the thought of returning to school really challenging. Pupils have been to visit their classes several times throughout the last few weeks and those that need it, have been much more.
However at times where you feel appropriate over the holiday please share this video with your child. This link takes you to videos staff have prepared to say how much they are looking forward to welcoming you back in September. Please go to the correct teacher for your child, play the message and enjoy.

We hope this is helpful.
