15 Jan 2010 - Newsletter #1
Dear Parents,
As the weather at last shows signs of allowing us to get back to normal – at least for now – I begin, somewhat belatedly, by wishing you and your children a very Happy New Year.
Thanks
Since the beginning of this term, I’m particularly grateful to Mike Bryant for keeping our school website up to date – often at short notice - with necessary information for you. I’m grateful too to James, Oscar and Maciej, our cleaning/caretaking colleagues, who have ensured that our paths have been kept clear of snow and the school clean through a particularly difficult week. On behalf of us all, I thank them very much.
From Last Term
Thank you very much indeed for your generous offerings at our Carol Service last term. A total of £205.39 was collected and has been sent to The Children’s Society.
Newsletters
In due course you will receive correspondence on a variety of school matters – such as the curriculum topics sheet attached to this letter. Just so you know when to expect them, my letters will be sent on the following dates:
January 15th & 29th, February 5th & 26th; and March 12th & 26th; as well as being posted on the school website.
Class letters
You should have received letters from your child/ren’s Class Teacher on Friday last week to inform you of key things that will affect pupils for this term. While the main issues are common to most classes, the details are slightly different – for a variety of reasons – and so I should be grateful if you ensure you have received this letter and noted its contents.

Some important dates for you are given below. Details of these, and others as they become known, will be sent to you as necessary.
