Flu Vaccinations
Our flu vaccination date is fast approaching – THURSDAY 3RD DECEMBER. If you have not already registered your child, please do this as soon as possible. Please call into the office if you need another copy of the letter.
Can we please remind you that unfortunately, we have to ask you NOT to bring Christmas cards into school this year for children and staff. We will be taking part in ‘Save the Children’ Christmas Jumper day on 11th December. Please look out for a letter we are emailing today which gives more information about this.
Starting School in September 2021 - If you have a child who was born between 1st September 2016 and 31st August 2017, they will be due to start school in September 2021. You need to apply for a place in a school for them—please do not assume that because they have a brother or sister in our school, or your child goes to Wygate Foundation Nursery School that you will automatically get a place in our school—this is not the case. Unfortunately, due to the current situation, we are unable to hold our usual Reception Open Day but if you take a look on our school website you will be able to see a Virtual Tour of our EYFS area and our school. Information regarding applying for a place is available on our website or please call into our school office to pick up a leaflet. If you are applying for a place and have a brother or sister who currently comes to our school, please make sure you put this information in the relevant place on the application form. This could make the difference between you obtaining a place in this school or not. The application process opened on 16th November 2020 and closes on 15th January 2021.
School Photographs
Due to the current COVID situation, we have had to postpone our school photographs this year. On Monday 21st June our photographers will be in school to take individual photographs – unfortunately we will not be able to take sibling photographs this year as this means a lot of movement of children around the school and we need to make sure that children stay in their year group bubbles. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause but we are sure you will understand that this is beyond our control. Sadly, we will not be able to hold our usual family evening portrait session either. On Tuesday 22nd June, our photographers will be taking whole class photographs and also our Year 6 leavers photograph. Please note that your child should come to school in their uniform on these two days, even if it is their usual PE day.
