Final letter

23^rd July 2013

Dear parents,

FINAL LETTER OF THE YEAR

 

As the end of another busy year draws to a close I would like to thank all of you for your continued support and co-operation this year, which is invaluable.

 

This letter has some key information you will need for the start of the new academic year in September.

 

There will be new members of staff joining us next year, a list of year group teachers for September 2013 is attached.
We will be saying a tearful good-bye to Mrs. Caldwell, who has been with us for thirteen years. She has been a valuable member of our team and will be sorely missed by staff and children alike. She is moving to Shropshire and will be taking up a new post in a school there but she has promised to come and visit us soon.

 

There have been many highlights across the year such as the day Michael Rosen visited our school, range of concerts, sporting achievements and the DSC concert at the Broadway theatre in Barking. I am sure your child will have some of their own highlights to remember this year by.

 

Over the holidays there will be new play equipment installed in our playgrounds, but nothing as extensive as last summer, which I am sure your children will enjoy when they come back.

 

We do wish all of our Year 6 pupils well and we will miss them all, as they all have been wonderful ambassadors for our school. We have got to know them all very well, and are very proud of the confident, creative and capable young people they are today, as I am sure their parents are too.

 

The school will start again on Monday 9^th September at normal times. All children will be shown to the halls where they will meet their new teachers and new classes.

 

Also attached are the term dates for the next academic year.

 

I wish you and your families a happy and enjoyable holiday and I look forward to seeing you all again in September.

 

Take care of yourselves.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Mrs A. Lipski,
Head Teacher

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

LAST DAY OF TERM

TRANSITION DAY

 

On Friday 19^th July, children have had an opportunity to visit their new classrooms for September.
They have also met some of the teachers for their new classes and had an opportunity to ask questions about what it will be like in the next year group. Until class lists for September are finalized (still have new pupils joining) we won’t be able to let your child know who their teacher will be until September, but they will know what teachers will be teaching that year group.
Also we will be looking at all year groups to ensure classes are balanced and where they are not these will be split by the class teachers before September.
The one class that will not be split is 1M, who will remain as a class and their teacher will still be Miss Walsh in September, as she only started with them in June of this year.

UNIFORM

 

Before you buy any uniform for next September please ensure it is the correct uniform (on reverse of this letter)
Key points:     

·         Polo shirts MUST have Parsloes motif

·         Sweatshirts or cardigans MUST have Parsloes motif

·         Tailored school trousers only

·         NO LEGGINGS under skirts or dresses that can be seen.

·         NO brightly coloured trainers or shoes must be black, grey, or red.

·         NO bags other than school backpack or book bag.

·         Black or grey jogging bottoms only for PE outside (when the weather is cold) otherwise all children must have a RED pair of PE shorts

 

Yours sincerely
