Friday 23rd July

School has now finished for this academic year, 2009-10.  We begin again on Thursday 2nd September at 8.55am  (As is our usual practice the gates will be open at 8.45am.)

Breakfast Club, important news about Breakfast Club will be published during the holidays.  Any major changes to times and prices (currently, it is FREE) will be advised in plenty of time for the new year.

Parent-teacher meetings will be held next week on these two dates: -

Wednesday 14th July from 5.00pm until 7.30pm

Thursday 15th July from 3.30pm until 5.30pm.

Letters will be sent out with the children inviting you to school offering various times which you are kindly asked to return as soon as possible.  At the meeting you will be handed a copy of your child'a report and there will be time to discuss it.

In the school’s Newsletter 32 of 10^th June we wrote about the safety of children travelling to and from school to help to ensure children know how to stay safe and to minimise any potential dangers.  We did this because, as some of you might know and some of you raised at the time, in Croydon borough, there had been an incident concerning children’s safety all of which had been aired in the media.

On Sunday 20^th June there was a report of an incident in the Leesons Hill area where a man in a car approached a group of six boys.  However, to our knowledge and information there have been no similar incidents in the proximity of our school.

The school does sometimes receive reports of suspicious behaviour occurring in the whole borough, but the majority of these do not come from our neighbourhood and they predominantly involve secondary schools.

We regularly invite the local PCSOs and the Road Safety Officers into school to talk to the children about being safe and demonstrating safety: a policy we continue. 

In today’s Newsletter we have repeated the advice about safety when travelling to and from school and about being safe generally. 

Please be assured that if we receive information on any incident concerning child safety in our locality we will share it with you.

Unfortunately, because of the rain this morning we have had to move the event to this afternoon.  Sports Day will now begin at 1.45pm.  At the end of all of the events children whose parents (or nominated carers) attend can take their children home.  Otherwise school will finish as normal at 3.15pm for KS1 and 3.20pm for KS2.

For good order, the school closes at normal time today: KS1 at 3.15pm and KS2 at 3.20pm.
