End of Summer Term 2019

Just a reminder that we will finish this term on Friday 19th July at normal time of 2.50pm and 3pm due to the early closure for building works. 

Please can you make sure that any medication that is usually kept in School is collected by the end of term.  This is particularly important to those who are currently in the Lower School.  Anything that has not been collected, will be disposed of.

 

School Meals

We have been advised by Surrey Commercial Services that there will be a small increase in the cost of school meals from September to £2.35 per meal.

 

Sports Days

From Reception to Year 6, I am sure you saw the amazing team work of our pupils. The determination to give all the events 100% gave them the opportunity to show all the School values aspiration, collaboration, optimism, resilience and nurturing.  Thank you to all of the adults who came to cheer on the children and for joining in at the end and the ‘little ones’ who participated in toddler races!  I hope you had as good a time as we did - the traditional races are always the favourites - the egg and spoon, three legged race, sack race and a space hopper - amuse us every time!

 

Polite reminder

Please can we remind you once again, about safe practice in dropping your children off to school.  Please can you not drive up on the kerb to drop children off.  Pupils in Year 4 and below should be accompanied into school and not allowed to walk up through the gates on their own.  Also, children should not be climbing trees before or after school. Your children are your responsibility before and after school.  Thank you for your co-operation.
