Letter regarding End of Term Arrangements and Parents Evenings

Dear Parents or Guardians

I would like to advise you that this term will end on Friday 18^th December 2020. This year the finish time for pupils is staggered as follows:

If you have more than one child in the school, we are more than happy to accommodate them waiting for their sister or brother in the foyer.Please be aware pupils should return to school at the normal time on:Monday 4^th January 2021

If your child requires a Free School Meal on the last day of term can you please inform the school office by Thursday lunchtime.

As you are no doubt aware as a school we are continually striving to improve our whole school attendance and every day is essential for pupils to maintain high levels of attendance.In recent years we have noticed that the last day of term has not been a good day in terms of attendance and I would like to ask for your support in ensuring your child attends on the last day, as we have planned some lovely activities for our pupils.Pupils will be able to come into school in non-uniform, with a Christmas jumper if they wish and we ask that in return pupils bring £1; all proceeds will go to our family fund.

Please see our website for further information regarding reporting Covid 19 cases over the holidays.This can be found in the ‘News’ section.

We are excited to be launching ‘School Cloud’ which means you will be able to have an appointment with all your child’s teachers online and without the need for you to attend school.We are excited about the prospect of using ‘School Cloud’ and feedback from Parents in schools who have used it has been extremely positive.Obviously, we will welcome your feedback following your child’s Parents Evening.

I would also like to remind you of the dates of our Parents Evening:

I am sure you will all agree this has been a year like no other!I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our pupils and their families for your ongoing support and hard work in the most challenging of circumstances.I wish you all a happy, peaceful and safe Christmas and look forward to what I hope will be a more settled and happy year in 2021.

Yours Sincerely

Mrs A Ryan

Principal
