Dear Parents,

I do hope that everyone had a most enjoyable and relaxing break. It has been lovely welcoming the boys back to school so full of energy and enthusiasm for the term ahead.

You will also find a copy of the calendar and other useful information, such as this term’s lunch menus, on the school website.

Parents’ Evenings
We are going to trial holding our Parents’ Evening on two consecutive evenings, this term.  Appointments will start at 4.00 pm for all form teachers, apart from those running clubs, as they will be running as normal for both afternoons.  Appointment slots will be increased from ten to fifteen minutes, so that there will be more time to discuss your son’s progress and welfare with the last appointment at 6.45 pm.  There will be a crèche facility for boys and siblings from 4.00 – 6.00 pm in the Creative Playroom.  Miss Rebecca will be available to talk to parents until 6.00 pm, on both evenings. 

Summer Uniform
Boys may wear white, short sleeved shirts and green ankle socks, to school this term (except on 21st June when we have class photos).  They should also have their sun caps at school to wear for Games and for play on hot days, so please make sure that it is clearly named.

Sun Screen
Please would you apply sun screen to your son, on very sunny days, before he comes to school.  We will apply a top up on Games afternoons.  Please inform your son’s form teacher if your son is allergic to sun screen or you wish to provide your own.

Should you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch.

With best wishes,

Mrs P T M Cawthorne
The Headmistress
