Weekly Newsletter

We are able to administer prescription medicines in school. However we only administer medicine when the course cannot be completed at home. If you are unable to do this we would kindly ask that you do the following:

• Complete the medicine form here

• Ensure medicines are clearly labelled and in date

• Come to the office with your child and their medicine before school each day

• Your child will receive a medication label

• Collect your medication from the office each day

Thank you for completing the Summer Clubs choice form. Arbor has now been updated with club allocations. As usual this has been a lengthy process and we have tried to make sure as many children as possible have received their first choice club. Unfortunately some clubs were extremely popular so this has not been possible in all cases. If your child was not allocated a space on a club they asked for, they have been added to the waiting list.

If you decide that you no longer want a club that your child has been allocated, please let us know so that the space can be offered to another child. There are spaces left on some clubs, you can still complete the clubs form if you have not already done so.

Clubs start in the second week of term, week commencing 22nd April. External clubs may have different start dates, please check with the provider. Clubs will run until week commencing 8th July.

Aces Extended Services - Places available

We have spaces in our wraparound provision on selected days.  If you would like to find out about availability, please email aces@leoacademytrust.co.uk. 

We previously wrote to parents to confirm that we would not be issuing food vouchers to families of children eligible for free school meals after the February 2024 half term due to the funding for this scheme coming to an end. The Government has since decided to extend this scheme for a further 6 months which would include May half term and the summer holidays. The Council has now agreed that we can issue vouchers to families for the Easter 2024 period (10 days / £3 a day) but decisions on the May half term and summer holiday period have not yet been made. We will update parents on arrangements for those holiday periods when we have an update from the Council. 

Our Evouchers system opened today and we will be closing the Evouchers system on 12th April 2024. Schools will not be able to claim after this date. You can claim for 10 days only (1-5 and 8-12 April), £30 per eligible child. We are unable to fund the bank holiday (29th March).

Please see a step-by-step for LA Funded options HERE.

We need?

Do you DJ in your spare time? Have you always wanted to DJ but didn’t get your break on the clubbing scene? Do you have family or friends who are always designated DJ at family gatherings and might want to share their skills?

 The PTFA are looking for someone to become their inhouse DJ for the school disco’s, which raise funds for resources for our children. The next Disco’s are May 22nd and 23rd running from after school until approximately 5.30pm each day. In order to maximise the fundraising opportunity for the school, this is not a paid position however, we will cover out of pocket expenses and of course there is the DJ kudos and glory status that comes with the territory.

 We can provide all the equipment, a friendly and supportive fan base and suggestions on the floor fillers that have worked in the past. There will also be a number of volunteers who help on the day with ‘crowd control’ and helping build the disco party atmosphere. If you are interested please leave your details with the office and someone will contact you.
