Knowledge begins with respect for God (Proverbs 1:7)
This half-term’s value is ‘Generosity’ (2 Corinthians 9:6-11)
Parking
It is important for us as a school to be good neighbours to the people who live near us. Each school day they get inundated with cars, both morning and afternoon. If at all possible, please consider walking to school, especially if you live nearby. It’s better for you and for the environment, as well as being cheaper!
Please ensure you park considerately and that you do not block driveways and entrances to cul-de-sacs. It is important that local residents can get on and off their drives at all times so that they can get to work or return from work without any problems. Please also be mindful of the need to avoid by double-parking to ensure that the emergency services can always get through. Thank you.
School Uniform Expectations
Jewellery: please can all parents make sure that their children do not wear any jewellery to school - this is for health and safety reasons.
Footwear: a reminder that children should not wear trainers to school – school shoes should be worn as stated in our school handbook.
Harvest Festival Assembly Reminder
Please continue to send in your donations of tinned fruit for Blackburn Foodbank. A member of staff from the Foodbank will be coming to collect these straight after our Harvest Festival assembly which is taking place next Thursday, 15th October. The Kestrels’ class will be leading this assembly and all parents and carers of children in this class are very welcome to come and join us for this. It starts at 8.45am.
Secondary School Applications
A reminder to parents and carers of Year 6 children that you have until the 31st October to complete your application for your child’s secondary school place. If you would like some help with this, please ring the school office.
