Every active or sustainable journey makes a positive difference! Pupils can also take part in the “My Walktober Journey” competition by sharing the story of their active or sustainable journey.

Please complete this Google form by Tuesday, 21st October - https://forms.gle/Nvpxc547xYZaUjMC6

Please note that:

• • • • Your email address will only be shared for the stated purpose above

      • It will not be used for marketing or shared with any third parties without further consent

      • You can withdraw your consent at any time.

• School photographs - Last reminder to order photos by the end of TODAY for free delivery to the school.

• Parental Information Updates - Please make sure you regularly review the information held within Arbor to make sure that contact details etc., are up to date. The contact details we have must be correct so we can contact parents when necessary. 

• Parents Evening - If you haven't yet booked your slot, please log in to Arbor where you can do so. Please get in touch if you are having any problems with this. 

• Cough sweets - These are not prescribed medicines and are not allowed at school. Please do not send your child in with them; they are a choking hazard, and we are unable to monitor how many a child might be having. If your child has a sore throat, they will be able to sip water if needed. If you have a unique situation, then please let the office know. 

• Grapes in packed lunches - Please remember that uncut grapes pose a significant choking hazard in children because their size and shape can completely block a small airway, and their smooth, firm skin makes them difficult to dislodge with first aid. Due to these risks, children under the age of five should always have grapes cut lengthwise, ideally into quarters. Even older children may benefit from having their grapes cut into smaller pieces to ensure safety. 

• Poppy Appeal - from Friday 17th October, poppies and other products from the Royal British Legion will be available for the children to buy (see poster below for suggested donation prices). Class teachers will organise when pupils will come to the reception to make their purchases.
