Appointment boards will be available in the Foyer to sign up for an appointment with your child’s teacher from Thurs.9th October. Please note that the appointment is for 10 minutes however if you realise that you may need longer please make a separate
appointment with the class teacher so as not to delay other parents.
Uniform – please can you check your child’s uniform to see if they have inadvertently picked up another child’s sweatshirt or cardigan. There are many sweatshirts and cardigans missing at the moment. Usually if your child’s uniform is labeled it is returned directly to their classroom therefore please label all uniform clearly.

Reminder – dogs must not be brought onto our school site. Oxfordshire County Council has a very clear policy that states no dogs are allowed on school grounds at any time. Only Guide Dogs for the blind are the exception.
Newsletters – these are now being sent electronically to those parents with an email address in KS 1. If you would like to add or amend an email address please let the school office know. The office will be adding the KS 2 email addresses in due course. There will always be an up to date copy of the Newsletter available to read in the Foyer.
