Week Ending 10 May 2019

 

During May we are focusing on the core value of Understanding

 

Key Stage 2 SATs Week
A reminder that the national KS2 SATs take place throughout the week starting Monday 13 May 2019. Please avoid any routine Doctor or Dentist appointments for pupils during this week. The national SATs tests are timetabled for Year 6 pupils that week, however all KS2 pupils have formal assessments the same week. Please ensure all children are in school punctually for a prompt start each day.

Thank you.

 Allergy and Anaphylaxis Reminder

At Stadhampton Primary School we are concerned about the safety and well-being of all pupils. Many parents will know someone who is affected by anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction and we endeavour to be an allergy-aware school. Staff are routinely trained in severe allergy management and we have a number of strategies to help keep pupils who are at risk of anaphylaxis as safe as we can. Nuts, or foods containing nuts, are a leading cause of severe allergic reactions in some people and we do have members of our school community who are known to be allergic to nuts.

We can never totally eliminate the risk of anaphylaxis but we can do all we can to minimise the risk. We respectively request that foodstuffs containing nuts are not brought into school. School meals prepared by Mrs Sheridan are nut free. Food containing ‘traces of nuts’ are fine as long as the non-allergic children do not share their food.

Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.

Message from Mrs Wahid

Dear Parents,

I can’t begin to express my gratitude to you enough for your patience and support over the last few months. I have been overwhelmed with your kindness and understanding of my circumstances. Daytime TV has become mind-numbing and I’m itching to be back in the classroom! I look forward to being back in school once I am feeling stronger.

Once again, thank you for your support.

Mrs Wahid
