• OPAL

Thank you to all the parents and carers who have completed the survey. We just need around 20 more before our OPAL audit on Monday 29th September.  If you could spare 5 minutes to do this, we would be very grateful. Here is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/czdujNXPYne8uEh2A

• Happy ‘ShoesDay’ – Tuesday, 30th September

October is Walk to School Month, and to kick this off, we will be having a Happy ‘ShoesDay’ on Tuesday, 30th September. Children can wear their favourite shoes to school – shoes that make them happy (no heels please) – to celebrate walking. Please encourage your children to walk/scoot/cycle to school as much as possible in October. Thank you!

 

• Apply for Pupil Premium Funding: Some of our families may entitled to Free School Meals funding (FSM), which can be used by the school to pay for additional support such as extra tuition, mentoring or after school activities etc. The school would receive this funding as Pupil Premium Funding. If you think that you may be eligible, you can check by going online to https://pps.lgfl.org.uk/ and clicking on “Check Eligibility”. We will receive a notification from Haringey if you are eligible.

• Instrumental Lessons

If your child has instrumental or vocal lessons in school it may be necessary for them to miss part of their break or lunch time to attend their lesson. Children will never be asked to miss the part of lunch when they are eating. This should only happen once or twice a term and will be organised on rotation. Instrumental teachers will explain this to their pupils; it would also be helpful if you could also explain this to your children.

• Before and After School Provision - Bookings

Thank you to all the parents and carers who book their chid/children’s wrap around provision on Arbor before the booking window closes.

We would like to remind all other parents and carers that the booking window for Breakfast club is open until 7.30am on the day and the Afterschool provision is open for bookings until 12.00 noon on the day. You can book ad-hoc for the day, for the week or the month. Please make sure that you book on time as the office is not able to make late bookings for you. You will need to top-up before you can book. All top-ups must be done specifically for the club that you want. Thank you.

• Pick up from Activity clubs and Night Owls (After school provision) – Late Pick-Up

Thank you to all the parents and carers that pick up their children on time from our after-school provisions. We would like to remind parents and carers, that there is a charge of £5 for every 5 minutes that parents/carers are late in picking up. Please also be reminded that we reserve the right to withdraw the after-school provision for any persistent late pick-ups.

• Wellies REQUIRED for Green School

If your child is in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, Year 3 or Year 4 then they MUST have a pair of named wellies which they keep at school for their Green School lessons. This is compulsory - and just as important as their PE kit.  We go out even in wet weather, and if children don’t have wellies, they bring a lot of mud into the school, which is a safety hazard.  Wellies are waterproof and quick to put on and take off, so better than old shoes.  If you are not able to provide wellies for your child, please speak to your child’s class teacher and we will see what we can do to help. Thank you.
