Weekly Update - Term 1, Week 5

Essential information for parents of children attending St Anne's Infants' School & Nursery

The school currently has very limited access to laptops and internet which is also affecting our ability to receive incoming phone calls. Please bear with us and keep in mind that communications may be a little slower than usual. You are still able to call the school office and leave a voicemail which we will be able to listen to.

Open days for families with children starting reception are being held on Monday 16th November at 9.30am, 1.30pm and 5pm. If you are a current nursery family this is a great chance to look around the rest of the school.
Please spread the word in the school community at large - any and all with an interest in sending their child to reception at St Anne's in 2027 is welcome.
Booking is essential, here: Reception open events for 2027 intake - St Anne's Infants School & Nursery
The next open event for Nursery is on Friday 13th November at 4.30pm - this can be booked here: Nursery open event registration - St Anne's Infants School & Nursery

There has been an epidemic of poor and illegal parking this week by some parents & carers. Please ensure that you are not parking on zig-zags or blocking the driveways of local residents.
Parking on zig-zag markings is against the law and puts the safety of the wider school community in jeopardy - please don't do it!
Going forwards we will be taking photos of offending cars, publishing in the weekly comms and sending them to Parking Enforcement and the local PCSO.
As an active travel award-winning school, our advice would be to journey to school by active means if able to - cycle, scoot, walk. If you must drive, then please park in a safe and legal manner.

Thank you

Mrs Sutherland will be hosting the first SEND coffee morning of the year, 9-10am on Monday 19 October in St Anne's church hall. This coffee morning is open to all parents and carers, whether or not your child is on the SEND register. If you have any concerns about your child's development, behaviour, progress etc, feel free to pop in for a cuppa, biscuit, chat and support from Mrs Sutherland and fellow parents.

Congratulations to all SUN class families on a successfully navigating the settling in/induction period at the start of the school year!
Packed lunches and other food items: Please remember, no nuts are permitted at school and all grapes must be cut in half as they represent a choking hazard.

Please ensure that children bring their reading books EVERY DAY.
Shared reader books can be swapped on a Friday. Therefore, please make sure these are in bags on that morning.

We hope all the children enjoyed the hugely successful first trip to Watercress Farm this week. We have two more trips to come at this amazing venue, and we hope the children are looking forward to it as much as we are.
