Friday 3rd October at 9am: Coffee morning for parents and carers of children in Reception. Please come along at school drop off time and have a cuppa in the school library. Pre-schoolers welcome.  This will be a chance to meet other Reception parents and to meet some of our FOSM members too.

Useful meetings for parents:
Peaceful School Run: We know that arriving to school on time can be challenging for some parents. A hectic morning at home has an impact on how children feel when they arrive.
With this in mind, we are offering a free one-hour ZOOM workshop for parents called “A Peaceful School Run” on Monday 6th October 8-9pm. Follow this link to register.
This free ZOOM workshop will give parents tools to set up their children for a good day by:
• Helping their children manage the emotions that might come up
• Enabling their children to take more responsibility for getting ready in the mornings (which also
enables them to be more organised at school)
• Creating moments of connection while getting things done

All children in Reception to Year 11 (and up to the age of 18 in Special Educational Needs schools) will be offered either the flu nasal spray or an alternative gelatine-free injection.

To ensure that no child is missed, NHS England and the Local Authority have requested that each school has a minimum of 2 sessions:

–            First session

o   Our team will vaccinate all eligible students. Where you have been allocated an all-day session, please be aware that fewer nurses will be attending than previous years, so it will likely take all day to complete the vaccinations.

–            Second session

o   This will be a follow-up session for any students that were absent or may have refused due to being nervous on the day of the session.

o   Our team will also use the time in between the session to try and increase the number of consents.

–            If needed after the second session, we will arrange a follow-up visit, for an hour or so, to vaccinate any children that are still outstanding

Evensong Service at School: Sunday 12th October 4pm.  We are really looking forward to a special Evensong service that will bring the church congregation and the school community together at St. Mary’s School.
Our school choir will be singing some modern hymns at the service to show case their beautiful voices too. If your child is in the school choir, please reserve this date and time!  Please do come along and join us for the service.

Would you like to find out more about the support that is out there for families when there is more than
one child with SEND? This information evening will be full or advice and signposting.
