Class Talks
It has been lovely to see some of you at the meetings this week. We would love to see more parents for the Year 2 (Fri), Year 1 (Mon) and Reception (Tues) meetings.
Primary Admissions
Any child born between 1st September 2005 and 31st August 2006 can apply for a Primary school place for September 2010. A booklet will be sent out shortly and the application form will need to be returned by 11th December.
Secondary Transfer Booklets
All Year 6 children should have brought home a booklet regarding transferring to secondary school. Application forms can either be returned to school for us to return or directly to Lynton House by yourselves. If returning to school we must receive them by Friday 9th October 2009 or if sending to Lynton House, by Friday 23rd October at the latest. Thank you.
Attendance
Please note that we will only be authorising one day's absence for Eid.
Leave of Absence Requests
All new parents please note:
Pupils attend school for a maximum of 190 days each academic year. Full attendance is vital for your child’s educational progress. The school regards absences as a very serious concern and there is an overwhelming connection between those students who are frequently absent and those who go onto underachieve in examinations. The school will only grant leave in term time in the most exceptional circumstances.
Leave taken without permission of the Head Teacher will be recorded as unauthorised, and you may be liable to a Penalty Notice resulting in a £100 fine. (Reduces to £50 if paid within 28 days).
Extended leave may result in your child being removed from the school roll.
Playground Equipment Please ensure that your child takes care and plays safely on the new equipment, we want them to enjoy the new apparatus.
School Lunches
As the new catering company settle in may I just remind you that we can no longer supply a lunch without prior payment. All money must come in on a Monday morning in a clearly labelled envelope with your child's name and class on it. Lunches are £1.93 per day and cheques need to be made payable to London Borough of Redbridge. Please also note that any queries regarding payment will be directed to the new cash collector as office staff are not involved in this process. I am also pleased to inform you that as from Monday 28th September we will have non-halal and halal meat dishes, so that no child is disadvantaged.
Snacks
Morning snack will be available as usual from Monday 28th September. We apologise for any inconvenience caused over the last two weeks.
Parents Yoga
We have not had much response regarding parents classes. If you are interested please come into the office for a form or if you already have one please complete it and send in as soon as possible, as we need to make a decision about whether classes will be continuing or not.
Contact Details
Please inform the office if you have changed any of your contact phone numbers as we use Group call every day now to contact you if your child is absent from school and so need up to date numbers Thank you.
100% Attendance Class 4N—Well done!
Activities Fair
Tuesday 29th September. Please come along to our Activities Fair from 3pm—4.30pm. You will be able to find out about children’s clubs in the local area and what they can offer you and your children.
