Congratulations to you all!
Year
6 Cycle Training
Unfortunately, this
year we are unable to offer our current Y6 pupils an opportunity to undertake
cycle safety training as we have no-one to lead the training who has the
necessary qualifications and an insufficient number of parent volunteers.
We are so sorry. Thank
you to those parents who have volunteered and we hope
that we can
revive this opportunity next year.
Important
information about swimming in the school pool – please get ready!
Mrs Shortman and Mrs Singleton are working
hard to ensure that the school pool is ready for use by ensuring that we have
the correct chemical balance of pH, total alkalinity and calcium hardness.
Currently the pH level is too high and we are having to do very frequent
backwashing of the pool and refilling it to bring this down to an acceptable
level. We also have the issue this year of needing to replace the pool heater
as it cannot be repaired. We have ordered a new one and are waiting for it to
arrive and be fitted. However temperatures are meant to rise significantly next
week so it is possible that we may be able to use the pool without the heater!
OCC have done their pool inspection and once we get the water chemically
balanced we will be good to go! Thank you to Mrs Shortman and Mrs Singleton.
Thank you also to Mrs Stafford, Mrs Manzie, Mrs Ellis, Mrs Venner and Mrs
Turner for completing lifeguard training, which is also essential for continued
pool use.
We therefore request that ALL pupils (including Reception) have
their swimming kit in school from Monday (25 June) ready for use in the school
pool. All pupils, boys and girls must
have their own swimming hat and towel; girls are required to have a one piece
swimming costume please and boys need trunks which are quite tight fitting so
that they do not ‘balloon’ when they are in the water. The onus will be on
families to ensure that swimming kit is
in school each day, otherwise pupils may miss out on opportunities to
swim. Pupils who do not have their swimming kit in school will sit in the
pool area and read when their class has their turn in the school pool. Thank
you.

Official Notice of the PTA's Annual General
Meeting (AGM) – Wednesday 3 October, 8pm in the School Hall
The PTA plays a vital part in the school
community and all parents, as members of the PTA, are invited to support the
AGM. This is your chance to hear and see how the funds you have helped to raise
have been used for the benefit of the children at our school.
We appreciate the date of the AGM in
October is a while away, but we wanted official notice of the meeting to be
sent out before the summer holidays so that everyone has time to think about
coming along to the meeting and / or getting more involved with the PTA.
The PTA Committee (Chair, Treasurer,
Secretary) will be elected at the AGM so if you are interested in taking on one
of these roles for the forthcoming academic year, please speak to Melanie Gravett
who can give you more details about what is involved.
Our
next PTA committee meeting will now be on Wednesday 12 September at 8pm, venue
TBC.
