Our wraparound care team are busy making the most of our new outdoor marquee, and the children are loving their all-weather playtime outside. To make the space even more fun and creative, Stars would be very grateful for any donations of toys that could be used for outdoor play and den-building.
They are especially looking for things like:
Pop-up tents or small play tents
Tarpaulins, cushions and blankets
Plastic outdoor toys
If you have any of these items at home that are no longer needed, we’d love to give them a new lease of life at Stars! Please bring donations to the school office. Thank you so much for your support — it really does make a difference to the children’s play.
A message from Vikki, our Finance Officer:
ParentPay Security:
We have been made aware of a fraudulent App in the Apple App Store that mimics ParentPay branding. ParentPay does not have an app available for download from any app stores. To use ParentPay, visit https://www.parentpay.com/ from a mobile phone or computer. After logging in, you can save a shortcut onto your phone’s home screen.
ParentPay Payments:
We understand that it is a busy time for everyone with a lot to juggle. Please can we ask that you open your ParentPay account and settle any outstanding monies owing. Should you have credits that need to be moved, please email the finance mailbox.
Calling Volunteers!
Our Scolastic Book Fair will take place during the week beginning 29th September. We are looking for volunteers to help run the fair from 3.15 to 4.00pm on any afternoon that week.
Your support would make an enormous difference! Each year, the funds raised allow us to significantly enhance our school library class and book corners.
If you’re able to help, please let us know—we’d be incredibly grateful for your time and support. Email: info@st-stephens.richmond.sch.uk for the attention of Mrs Morrison.
