Dear parents/careers

There is no charge.
Dear parents
I have written to parents several times previously regarding parking and the use of the roads around school during drop off and collections. Unfortunately, we continue to have persistent inconsiderate and/or dangerous parking on the roads around school and this is concerning for other pedestrians and drivers as well as local residents. Irresponsible parking places children and adults in danger.
Recently you will have seen Traffic Enforcement Officers outside of the school. Enforcement officers are deployed by the council to ensure that parking restrictions are being adhered to and Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) may be issued where this is not the case.
The following actions are inconsiderate and dangerous, presenting risks to our children:
The Birchfield staff are outside every day to support the safe arrival and collection of our pupils on site. Please support us by demonstrating courtesy and consideration for local residents and for the safety and wellbeing of our pupils and families as they arrive and leave school.
Thank you.

Water competency is often misinterpreted by parents and guardians as their child being able to jump into a swimming pool and being able to put their face in the water. The reality is very different.
Learning to jump into a swimming pool is an important safety skill that children often achieve in the early stages of their learning to swim journey, as it is one of the outcomes in our Pre-School Framework
Dear Parents
The dates for parents evening this term are as follows:
11th October: Nursery, Reception, Year 1, Year 2

You will be able to make an appointment with your child’s teacher after school next week at home time. If for any reason, you cannot attend on the given date, please see the class teacher.
All meetings will take place in the school halls with appointments available from 4 -6pm. Access to the meetings will be via the red door.
Please be advised that there is limited seating and waiting space. Where possible, can we ask that only parents and the child attend.
Dear Parents/Carers,
Your child will have been given a reading diary to accompany the book given by school each week for your child to read at home.
Children should read at home every night for at least 10 minutes per day. Sharing a book together with your child gives you the opportunity to learn together, so please listen to them read regularly.
A parent, guardian, an older family member or your child should record this shared reading in the diary at least twice per week and it should be returned with their homework on a Wednesday. Your child should then be returned home on Friday with either: the same book to continue to read; or they will re-read their current book to improve their fluency or they will start a new book.
Thank you for your support in developing your child's love of reading.
