Weekly Newsletter - Friday 14th October, 2022

Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,

Outdoor and Indoor Shoes
We are experiencing a change in weather and would like to take this opportunity to remind parents of the importance of sending pupils to school with appropriate clothing for the weather. Children will still enjoy time outside even in the colder months, even if your child travels to school in a car, please ensure that they have a coat, gloves and hat to keep them warm.
We would also encourage pupils to bring into school a pair or indoor shoes or slippers that they can change into once inside. If shoes get wet and muddy they will then have a pair of clean and warm shoes and will be more comfortable. This will also help us to keep the classrooms cleaner for children to learn in.
Many thanks for your co-operation with this. 


Autumn Term Parent Consultation Evening - Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th October

We are looking forward to welcoming all parents next week for parent consultation meetings. You will have the opportunity to meet your child’s new class teacher and find out how they have settled so far this year. The teachers will also explain the expectations for the end of the year for your child. You should have received your appointment time on Monday 10th October. 

Our year 6 prefects will also be on hand to show you to the classrooms and will be asking parents to complete our annual parent survey. We are looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday  and Wednesday next week. 


After School Clubs

Due to parents' evenings, there are no after school clubs on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th October. All pupils must be collected at 3.10 pm from their classrooms as normal. After school clubs will resume on Thursday 20th October. 


A Message from The London Borough of Havering re: The Cost of Living
Havering recognises that as the cost of living continues to rise across the country, our residents are going to be feeling the pinch this winter.

The Council have created a one-stop-shop for all of the support that may be out there for residents this winter and beyond, all in one handy place on our website.

Financial help and advice | The London Borough Of Havering

The website contains links to the Havering Helps assistance scheme, council tax support, debt management services, energy grants, food banks and community hubs, as well as online benefits calculators so residents can be sure they’re receiving all the support they are entitled to.

The Council will also publish details of any new support schemes, both local and national, in the Living in Havering email bulletin.
