Dear Parents
School Sports
It was great to see so many parents at the Reception / Nursery sports event and at the KS1 Sports, we hope that you enjoyed the new format and were able to see more events. Any comments as to the format would be gratefully received as would suggestions for further improvements. Thank you once again for your support.
Please may I take this opportunity to thank all members of the PTA for their support with refreshments during the sports days.
Reminder:
Monday 18th June: Year 5/6 Sports from 1.45pm. Gates to the main field open at 1.30pm
Athletics Success
I am delighted to inform you that the Y5 / 6 athletics team participated in the Winsford Quad Kid Tournament on Thursday this week and were overall winners against local schools. They will now progress to the area finals next week.
Year 6 Visit
Next week I will be leading the Y6 Residential Visit to the Lake District. During the week the children will be involved in a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, canoeing, climbing, sailing, paddle boarding and Ghyll Scrambling. In addition they will visit places of interest and travel on a steam train and lake cruiser.
As Mrs Lowe will also be accompanying the children, Mrs Taylor will be available in school in our absence. Mrs Robbins, Mr Askey and Miss Garnett will also be on hand to deal with any queries.
Classes for 2018 / 19
During the coming weeks we will be starting to place the children into classes for next year. As happened last year we will be mixing the current classes to ensure that we can cater for the needs of individual children to the best of our ability. This process also ensures that we don’t have two / three separate strands going through the school but that the children in each year see themselves as a cohort. As part of the process each child will be asked to list five children who they feel that they work well with, we will then do our best to place them with several from their list. If you could talk to your child during the holidays about friends / children who your child works well with that they may add to their list, we should be grateful.
Residential Visits
During the coming half term we will be distributing letters about the residential visits planned for the coming year. Please note that these will be subsidised in the manner described in my previous newsletter. In addition the new pupil premium reductions will also apply. Should you feel that you are potentially eligible for this please apply by contacting Wyvern House on 0300 123 7039
Your child might be able to get free school meals (and therefore Pupil Premium) if you get any of the following:
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Breakfast and Afterschool Clubs
To ensure that we can provide the best service for the Breakfast and After School, we should be grateful if all parents could adhere to the following:
:
- Breakfast and afterschool clubs should be booked online at www.eduspot.co.uk please sign in to ‘schoolmoney parent login’ (bookings are available until school ends in July)
- Parents should not owe more than £20 or unfortunately we will need to stop their child using the clubs until the balance has been paid.
- Parents need to let us know on the morning of the booking if they no longer need the afterschool club or we charge full price for the place. (If the child is off ill we will take them off the list automatically and no charge will be made for the session).
