Dear parent
As we complete our first full week of the school year, please read on for news of what we are up to!
A word from Rev Karen Gardiner
On Sunday there will be a 10am Holy Communion at St Andrew's Church, Aldborough and at 4pm there will be
Messy Church.
School layby out of use on Monday 20th
Class 4 will be travelling to Eden Camp on Monday 20th Sept and the layby will be coned off to allow the coach to
park safely outside the school site.
SEND leader
With the departure of Miss Clarke at the end of the summer term, Mrs Briggs has taken on the role of SEND leader
across the school and will be drawing on her previous experience of this role in a number of schools.
Morrison’s It’s Good To Grow
Please support our school by signing up to MyMorrisons on mymorrisons.com to register and download the
MyMorrisons app. Once you are registered you can collect Grow Tokens for any shopping you do online or in store.
On your first visit to MyMorrisons you will be asked to select the school you would like to donate your Grow Tokens
to. Our school will then use the Grow Tokens to purchase gardening equipment for our children to use in school.
Change of dessert
On Tuesday 21st Sept dessert will be iced buns not cheese and crackers.
On Friday 24th Sept dessert will be strawberry jelly not an iced bun.
Parent Governor Vacancy
It has been wonderful to invite our governors into school once again and we have enjoyed showing them what we
get up to during the school day. We currently have a vacancy for a parent governor and we would welcome
nominations from interested parents to join the Governing Body at our school. If any parents would like to speak
with our current parent governors, Rachel, James or Alex, please let us know or catch them at drop-off/pick-up times
as they would be very happy to chat about the parent governor role with anyone who wishes to know more. The
nomination deadline is Monday 27th September. Please use the forms attached to the original email or hard copies
and be requested from the school office if you wish to provide us with your nomination. Please use this link to access
information about being a parent governor.
