Dear Parent / Carer,

Parent Consultations
We are holding Parent Consultations during the week beginning 18th October. Our recent Parent Questionnaire showed that most people prefer a mix of morning and after school appointments to choose from. Available appointment days and times per teacher have been sent out. Please return your slip asap in order to get your preferred time. Please make every effort to attend as an effective partnership between home and school is crucial to your child’s success.

Clubs
There will be no Clubs on the week of Parent Consultations, except the paid for Music Clubs.

Friendly Faces
Friendly Faces is open during the Half Term holiday for bookings. We are unable to open on the Training Day due to staff taking leave that was pre-arranged prior to the school taking on responsibility for the setting. We will be opening for future Training Days and school holidays. Please contact Louise Parker on 07810071148 or friendlyfacesatrobinhood@gmail.com

Visitors in School
We were visited last week by Paul Rees, Education Consultant, Barnsley. Paul emailed ‘Having heard inspiring things about Robin Hood on many occasions it was great to see it in context. It has helped me see clearly how the effective use of resources can have a huge impact on a school.’

Lunchtime Staff Required
We are seeking to appoint a further addition to our lunchtime Supervisory staff. The post is for one hour and five minutes per day, 12.10pm-1.15pm. Our lunchtimes are brilliant times for the children. We want someone who will join in the fun and will help our children to enjoy their play.

PTA
The PTA AGM took place this week. My thanks to those parents who committed their time to the meeting. My thanks to those parents who have been stalwarts of the PTA over many years now. The PTA need more help, they need your help. If you are able to help, please contact Jenny Curgenven, Angela Ross or the school.
Our next Bags2School will take place on Fri 26th November

Leo Dale
Congratulations to Mrs Dale, her husband Alistair and son Evan on the birth of their new baby, Leo. Mother and baby are doing fine.

Have a great weekend,
Mr Wilson
