School/nursery Admissions
I am aware that a number of you have received letters regarding admission
to Nursery in January this week. Although delighted that our nursery is
again proving to popular I like many of you am disappointed that a number
of children who have siblings in school and have been with us in the Chil-
dren’s centre haven’t been allocated places. The admissions process is not
something that the school is directly involved in, places are allocated by
the LA so any appeals or complaints must be sent directly to them.
I have already contacted the admissions team and expressed my concern
and am desperately trying to find some solutions however the issue this
year is complicated further by the governments new 2 year old entitlement
initiative which means our Children’s Centre may also be oversubscribed in
January.
I will keep you posted with any further developments.
Our Key stage 1 classes are also full as is Year 4.

Key Stage 1 Reading Workshop
A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Key Stage 1 Reading Workshop on Tuesday, Miss
Holdsworth was thrilled to see so many of you there. I’m sure you found the session useful and are
now accessing the reading and phonics pages on the class blogs. Remember you are more than
welcome to access the school library and take additional books home. Thank you for your support.

Year 6 parents event
Thank you to those parents
that came to support Year 6
and Miss Walsh today and have
a go at our Mental Maths
challenge!
Now you can see why we nag so
much about times tables!
Lost Property
We have had a real spate of coats, jumpers and PE kit going
missing at school over the last couple of weeks.
Year 2 face an additional challenge because of the position of
their cloak room.
Could I ask all parents and carers to ensure that their chil-
dren’s uniform and PE kit are marked with their name. If you
find your child has come home with the wrong uniform please
support us by returning it to school.
Any lost property is put in the red lost property box that can
be found in the hall.
PE/Assembly times and Phonics
To maximise learning time , particularly phonics and reading we
have moved assemblies to 3.10pm. This means we gain an extra
20 minute slot in the morning to deliver phonics and guided
reading sessions.
The downside of this is that our afternoon sessions are now
shorter. By law we have to deliver 2 hours PE a week, to ensure
we maximise the length of the PE sessions some classes get
changed for PE before afternoon break so they are ready to
get straight into their PE lesson,. Outside PE will also take
place even if it is a bit chilly and drizzly! Children are more
than welcome to bring tracksuit bottoms and tops in for PE as
we move into the Autumn /Winter weather.
