Friday Update 11.10.24

Posted 11th October 2024

Miss McNamara's Message

This week we are celebrating being awarded with School Games Mark Gold! We were also selected for an auditing and monitoring process of the award and so on Tuesday an external assessor visited our school. The assessor met with Miss Baxter, our PE lead, to look at all the things we do in school. 

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year. A huge thank you to Miss Baxter, who spends a lot of time organising competitions and events in and out of school.

After School Clubs

After School Clubs for Autumn 2 will be available to book on the Arbor Parent App next week, please look out for a letter with club info and opening times. However, payment is now to be made at the point of booking within the Club area of Arbor. Bookings will not be able to be made without payment in advance. 

Thank you.

BAS (Breakfast and After School Club)

Please look out for a letter regarding a change in booking Before and After School Club Sessions from next half term.This will move to Arbor as per the activity clubs.

These will also be available to book from at the same time as as the clubs above and a guide on how to do this will be available soon. If you have any questions about this, please refer to the guides or contact the school office. 

Fidgets and Toys from home

We ask that children do not bring fidgets or toys from home for a few key reasons.

  1. Avoiding Distractions: Toys and personal fidgets can distract both the child and their peers, making it harder to focus on learning.

  2. Fairness: Bringing in toys can cause feelings of unfairness. By providing fidgets, we ensure all children have equal access.

  3. Suitability: The fidgets we supply are chosen to support focus and sensory needs in an appropriate way.

  4. Preventing Loss: Toys from home may get lost or damaged, causing upset.

If a child needs a fidget, we will provide one to help them stay focused without disrupting the class.

Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a positive learning environment.
