Mr IJ McDonald
Headteacher Update Friday 4th March 2022 Dear Parents/Carers, World Book Day Thank You! Thank you all SO much for making World Book Day such a success for the school! The children looked AMAZING and everyone had a fantastic time. Mrs Warrington has asked me to remind everyone about the Reading Challenge your children have brought home with them. We are running this all through March. Hopefully, you will f enjoy doing these reading based activities to do with your child. The Current Situation with Ukraine I have spoken with a number of members of the school community over the past couple of weeks, regarding their worries and thoughts about the current situation in Ukraine and how it might be affecting our pupils (and indeed all of us). Reverend Paul has asked me to make you all aware that Christ the Servant Church is now a drop off point for donations for Ukraine, particularly those who are fleeing the conflict. Items can be take there any time on Sunday and Wednesday morning or times when the Food Bank is open (daily 9am-11am (except Tues & Sat)) The items looking to be donated to support families and children fleeing the conflict are:
Sleeping Bags/Blankets Toiletries Sanitary Products Warm Clothing Children’s Clothing/Toys
In school, we are following all DfE and Diocesan advice in supporting pupils emotionally and pastorally who may be worried about the situation and will continue to do this. We will post anything we feel is relevant or helpful for you as parents through our school Twitter feed.
