Dear Parents & Carers
Welcome back following the Christmas break. I hope that you managed to have a good festive period and that you also avoided some of the ‘bugs’ which have been around!
Closing Date for School Applications
Please note the closing date for applications for children to start at Primary School in September 2019 is 15th January 2019. If you have a child who is due to start at this time please do not automatically assume that they will gain a place at the school because they have an older brother or sister at High Street. All applications for children starting need to be made through the local authority. Further details can be obtained from Wyvern House or through the school office.
Year 1 Residential Visit
The first group of Y1 children have set off on their residential visit to the Tattenhall Centre today; it was lovely to see their excited faces this morning. I will be visiting both groups tomorrow and joining in with their activities. We realise that this is a big step for the children but one which they will enjoy and grow and develop from.
Reports / Parents Evenings
This year we will be streamlining our annual reports, but adding an additional parent teacher interview to ensure that you as parents have the most up to date knowledge of the progress which your children are making. The staff will now provide a written summary at each meeting which will form the basis of the final report and will then provide further information on effort and attainment at the end of the year. The next parent teacher interviews will take place during the week beginning 25th March with two evenings scheduled for appointments on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th March. However to accommodate parents who have time available during the day, the staff will also schedule a number of appointments during their planning, preparation and assessment time, as this varies for each teacher individual notifications will be made.
Mrs Bullen
I am pleased to inform you that Mrs Bullen is expecting her second child and will start her maternity leave following the summer half term break. We are in the process of sourcing a member of staff to replace her for the final half term. I am sure that you will join with me in wishing her and her husband all the best for their forthcoming arrival.
