Message from the Headteacher

A reminder that next Tuesday is the first of our 'Tuning into Kids' parent workshops. This is a superb opportunity not to be missed. It's not too late to sign up. See flyer below:

Tuning Into Kids Flyer

Thank you to the parents that attended our Reading workshop. We had 19 families attend the 2pm slot but only 5 for the 5pm slot. This equates to 17% of our families attending. We are committed to making sure our parent workshops are accessible to all. If you have any feedback as to why you were unable to attend, please do let me know so we can reach as many of you as possible. 

This Tuesday, Wiltshire Air Ambulance will be visiting to deliver some Emergency Awareness Training for all children. The content will be dependant on age group and deliver vital lifesaving skills training on the schools' behalf. See letter below: 

Air Ambulance Workshop letter

Can I please ask that all children wear a school jumper or cardigan even on PE, Forest School and swimming days. This makes the children easily identifiable when they are out and about, but also unites the children as a team. 

Please can we ask that you return annual consent forms as soon as possible. These forms are really important as we need to have up to date contact details and consent for photos etc

Thank you for your continued support, 

Kerry Devane

Please make sure you have booked your child's space in breakfast or after school club. We need to monitor numbers to ensure we have the correct staffing levels to keep your children safe.

You can book by emailing fdenslow@stjohnsglastonbury.school, sending a Dojo message to Frankie, or calling the office on 01458 832085. 

Thank you for your cooperation
