Week Ending 19 October 2018
Applications for Secondary Schools to start in September 2019
Children born between 1st September 2007 and 31st August 2008 (inclusive) need to apply for a secondary school place for their children. You can now apply online for a secondary school place. If you are unable to apply online, you can complete a paper application form. The deadline for receipt of secondary school applications is 31 October 2018.
Please note that UID numbers no longer work
for online applications. Applicants now have to manually enter all requested
details. If your application is late, it will be processed later in the year
and you are far less likely to get a place at one of your preferred schools.
Meerkat
Champion of the Week
Class 1 KeeganClass 2 Oliver
Class 3 Ella
Congratulations to you all!
There are currently no ‘Meerkat Champion of the Week’ awards for children in Reception (Ladybirds) as they are still settling into school routines and are gradually being introduced to learning characteristics and skills through our ELLI Project (i.e. characteristics of teamwork, curiosity, perseverance and creativity, resilience, planning ahead, changing ideas and making links).

PTA Meeting - Wednesday 7th November - after school
We will be holding an informal PTA meeting in the hall after school on Wednesday 7th November. We realise many parents find evening meetings difficult to attend due to work and childcare commitments, so we are hoping a change in time will give lots of families a chance to come along.
Please take the opportunity to come along and say hello, meet other parents, find out what the PTA does, what funds have been spent on or to share your ideas on fundraising. If you can help with fundraising, perhaps by making some cakes for Cake Club or helping at some of our events, or perhaps you are interested in becoming an active PTA member or have other skills to offer, please do pop in and have a chat. Everyone is welcome, there will be activities in Class 1 to keep children occupied.
Cake
Club
Well done Amelia for winning the delicious cake made by

Angela M. Thank you so much for your support. All monies raised directly help
the children.
