Mr Duce
As you will know from previous
correspondence, Mr Duce leaves us tomorrow for his new Deputy Headteacher role.
We are proud of him, his role and his achievements at St James. He leaves as a
trusted and respected friend. We all offer him our best wishes and thanks.
Book Fair
A huge thank you to everyone who came and supported the book fair recently. We raised a fantastic £639.00, the most we have raised for over 5 years! We received 100% commission and have purchased lots of new books for our school library. These will be available to borrow from September.
Teddy
Bears Picnic At Betty Eastwood Park
We have
been asked to mention the above event taking place on Sunday 6th
August 1.00pm – 3.00pm run by the ‘Friends of Betty Eastwood Park’. This is
aimed at children under 10yrs and is free. Families just need to bring a
picnic, a teddy and a blanket.
Calendars,
Handbooks & Home/School Agreement
2017/2018
Calendars were dispatched recently
and handbooks (including the new Home/School Agreement) was sent out today via
Parent Mail. They are fully up-to-date and are worth a read as they contain
some revisions to reward and sanctions systems, amongst other things, for next
year. The Home/School Agreement is brand new and designed in conjunction with
the Parent Partnership – please take a read of this as we expect everyone to
work towards this from September. Please note that, at the request of
Travelling Books, we have had to move the Autumn Bookfair to 10th-13th
November and the Reception Bedtime Stories event will now take place on Tuesday
14th November to coincide with this. This is a change to the
original list for reasons beyond our control. We apologise for any
inconvenience.
UPON
REQUEST AT THE MAIN OFFICE, WE WILL HAPPILY PRINT COPIES OF THE CALENDAR OR
HANDBOOK. ALTERNATELY, YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR A DOWNLOADABLE PDF
VERSION.
Sal’s
Shoes Collection
The SAL’S SHOES campaign continues and
culminates this week. Please continue to offer your donated shoes via the
collection bins at the front of school and hopefully your child will be able to
take part in the leave school, leave our shoes at the end of tomorrow – as per
my previous correspondence. Many thanks in advance for your support.
After
School Reminder Again!
Please can you ensure that your children do
not play on the adventure trail, golf course or cycle track after school. This
has been a request I have made several times this year. These are unsupervised
areas at this time and should not be used.
Finally, thank you for your continued support
during 2016/2017. I would particularly like to thank our Parent Partnership
team for their fabulous backing and fund raising efforts. We are very lucky to
have such fabulous children, staff, families and governors within our school
community and I wish all of you a happy, safe and peaceful holiday. See you on
Tuesday 5th September.
Mr Denton
