Dear Parents/ Guardians,

What a hot week!

A big thank you from all of us at school for the support we have received over the course of the week. At the heart of all the decisions we made was the well-being and safety of the children. The arrangements put in place allowed us to do this. The children were fantastic and adjusted to changes of routines and environments with such positivity – we are very proud of them.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you once more for your support.

School Uniform

Just a reminder that children should return to school wearing their summer uniform from Monday. Please ensure that PE kits are also brought back to school for Monday.

Please support our Buy a Brick Campaign  

Buy a Brick – How You Can Help

To help fund the group room project, we are launching a Buy a Brick scheme. For a donation of £60 or more, your family name — or a short personal message — will be permanently engraved on a brick displayed in the school. This will be a lasting reminder of the role our families played in creating something special for current and future pupils.

Any contribution is gratefully received, and every donation brings us one step closer to completing the project. We have set a target of raising £10,000 from this.

How to Take Part

Complete the short form to tell us the name or message you would like engraved on your brick: https://forms.office.com/e/aw37mVh2Yt?origin=lprLink

Please ensure that you also make your donation using the following link:

To ensure your name is included, please complete both the donation and the brick details form.

French Club trial sessions

If you would like your child to learn French before starting secondary school, Mrs Brant, our French extracurricular teacher, has kindly offered free trial lessons before the summer break. After lunch, your child will go to the Whizz Kid classroom from 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm, where our current French pupils will demonstrate what they have learned over the past few years.

Email Mrs Brant with your child’s full name and class, and the day they would like to attend (Mondays 29th or 6th July for Y5-6 & Wednesdays 1st or 8th July for Y3-4) to protegefrancais@icloud.com  Following the trial lessons, if you would like to register your child for French lessons from the autumn term, please email Mrs Brant directly.

Parking

Parking is available in the Coronation Rec car park which is just a short walk away from school. Alternatively, you can park for free at Hersham station car park on Walton Park with a permit which you can obtain by emailing the school office your car registration plate.

Please also note that parents dropping their children off for Breakfast Club or any morning clubs are not allowed to park in the school car park.

National Online Safety: Wake Up Wednesday Guides for Parents 

We would like to make you aware of our ‘online safety’ advice, guidance and support page called ‘Wake Up Wednesday - what parents / carers need to know’.

Wake Up Wednesday, created by The National College, aims to inform parents and carers on topics such as social media platforms, gaming, and iPad security. They include top tips, important reminders and reality checks on a wide range of online safety topics. They are a great resource to keep up to date with the issues children may encounter. 

We will post relevant articles of interest that should help you and your child here on our website.

We thank you for your ongoing support in assuring the safety of our pupils online.
