Dear Parents/Carers,

You will no doubt have heard the news that school closures will come into effect from the end of Friday 20th March. 

At this time we have no more information to tell you as we also wait for more details before the planning and preparation can begin tomorrow morning.

Please do not call the school office or email in as this takes staff away from the important role of dealing with the present situation.

Your continued support in this is appreciated and we will be in touch again as soon as we have more information for you.

Your sincerely
A Lyons
Headteacher

Reception Parents Reading Meeting

Dear Parents/Carers

We would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who attended either one of the reading meetings we held at school yesterday.

We have received lots of positive comments about the content of these sessions and also about how useful and informative they were.

If you were unable to attend, we will be putting the presentation onto the school website for your information. There are also several short videos on the school website that give examples of the reading strategies we talked about during the meeting. I would encourage you to spend some time viewing them so you are able to support your child with their reading at home.

During the meeting we explained that we are now introducing a reading reward scheme for children who are reading at home five times a week. Reading is such an important skill and we are actively encouraging all children to read as much as possible. Please can we ask that you find a few minutes to listen to your child read every night if possible, or at least five times a week.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Rebecca Arora
