September 2023
Welcome back!
It has been great to have everyone back!
Thank you to all staff who have supported the children's smooth return to school and transition.
The children have returned highly engaged in their learning and school activities. Many children now have leadership roles across the school and are involved in clubs, and there has been a significant increase in the number of children putting themselves forward for auditions and trials. We now have the largest junior choir ever, with 50 children and 10 additional children having put themselves up for band auditions. What a great way to start the year!
The annual calendar of events was issued this week. Please mark those dates in your diary. We may occasionally need to make changes; however, we will give you good notice.
As usual, secondary transfer arrangements for year 6 are all go! The deadline for your application is 31 October. We will be hosting a Secondary Transfer meeting on Thursday, September 26th, at 5 p.m. Year 5 families are also welcome.
For a smoother school experience, please remember to label all your child's belongings. This includes clothing, coats, bikes, and scooters. A clear label with the pupil's name and class greatly increases the chances of lost items being returned. This simple act also supports our year 6 'Lost Property Monitors' in their efforts to reunite found items with their owners.
Also, you can just rummage through our 'Lost Property' trolley in the front playground at the end of every day.
Our out-of-school clubs provision on Saturdays will return in November. Keep an eye out for Table Tennis, Boxing, Girls Football and Trampolining!
Keep safe, and I will see you at the gate at 8.55am.

Raising a Concern
It is important to us that any concerns or questions you may have are dealt with as efficiently as possible. The structure we have in place is designed to do just that.
The structure
1) Your first port of call is -Your child’s class teacher
(email via the admin team to request a meeting)
2) You may contact the leader of your child’s phase (see below)
This includes issues regarding communication and organisation
(email via the admin team to request a meeting)
Should you be dissatisfied with the handling or outcome...
3) You may raise your concerns with Ms Parker
(email via the admin team to request a meeting outlining the nature for the purpose of the meeting)
Leaders are required to share items (as appropriate) with Ms Parker on a weekly basis, even if the matter is being handled by them.
We request that you do not field your concerns to FAB but instead work directly with the school staff as outlined above.
