Increase funding for schools
Schools are having to make difficult choices on how to spend their limited funding as their income has not kept pace with the rise in costs since 2010. All schools are working very hard to “make ends meet” but this is becoming increasingly difficult and verging on almost impossible.
Please find link below to sign a Petition if you agree that the Government should increase funding to schools.
Congratulations to Year 6 who won the best overall attendance for this term with 98.2%. Their reward is watching a DVD of their choice and pizza on Thursday afternoon.
Well done to all classes as our attendance in school is very good.
The percentage for all classes are shown on attendance on home page.
We have a vacancy for a Parent Governor which we need to fill as soon as possible.
You should receive an explanation letter, nomination form and Eligibility Self Declaration form from your child. If you do not receive letter and forms please call into the school office to receive a copy.
The closing date is Friday 2nd November 2018.
Dear Parents
For Health and Safety reasons we have been advised by Bootle baths and our Gymnastics Company that children WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO participate in either swimming or gymnastics if your child has earrings in.
If your child if unable to take the earrings out by themselves at school, please could you make sure that the earrings are taken out at home on the day when they have either gymnastics or swimming, before they come to school.
This term Y5 swimming day is Tuesday; Y6 swimming Thursday; gymnastics is Reception and Y1 on Friday and gymnastics club after school on Friday. (Y1-Y2)
It is strongly recommended that children should not be wearing earrings whilst participating in any sporting activity and we would advise that they don’t wear earrings for school.
In the past earrings, which could not be taken out by the child themselves, have been covered over by tape/plasters, by a member of staff. This is obviously not ideal, and we do not want children to miss out on PE lessons, so as a last resort we will still cover up earrings for other PE activities in school.
Thank you for your support.
