2025 Parent Survey
- Deadline: Wednesday 4th June
The governors sent this year's parent survey to the whole school on Wednesday. You can also find it here.
We would be very grateful if you could complete this questionnaire by Wednesday 4th June.
Call to Kenya
This morning, Year 2 were able to talk to pupils from The Bright Future Academy in Oyugis in Kenya. They learned a lot from each other and were able to share what they had been learning about in school, their favourite foods and what the weather was like. We sang a song to each other too!
Next half-term we will have a whole afternoon (as part of a Geography day) when all classes will be learning about Kenya and particularly the area in which The Bright Future Academy is situated.
Late arrivals
Arriving late (after 8.55am) is extremely disruptive for both children and teachers. The child misses out on the early morning routine and information about what is happening that day. Please make sure you leave home early enough to make sure that your child arrives on time.
As a reminder, registers open at 8.45am, parents & carers have a 10-minute window to deliver their children to school. At 8.55am, the teachers and teaching assistants need to be in class so that the register can be closed and to ensure that the classes are settled and ready to start their learning. The gates will be closed at 8.55am and anyone arriving after this point will be marked as late in the register.
Whilst the teachers and teaching assistants can have a quick chat or take messages at drop off, they can't be delayed beyond 8.55am. If you need to have a longer conversation with the class teacher, please make an appointment via the school office.
Pentecost Service
- Date: Monday 9th June, 9.15am-9.45am
The day of Pentecost marks fifty days since Easter Day and brings the Easter season to an end. It is a major feast of the Church’s year when Christians recall how God’s Holy Spirit was given to the disciples after Jesus’ ascension, empowering them to begin the work of making disciples of all nations.
On Monday 9th June, 9.15am-9.45am, we would like to invite families to join us in watching the service. Due to the size of the hall, we can only invite 1 parent/carer per family, and have a maximum of 100 tickets.
If you would like to join us, please book your ticket below.
Sunscreen
After half-term, we would like to remind you to ensure that your child comes to school with sunscreen applied.
Your child may bring in a named bottle of sunscreen if they are able to apply it themselves during the day. Please remind your child that they can only use their sunscreen when told to do so by their teacher and that they may not share it with anyone else in school as they do not know if their friends might have allergies to the ingredients.
All children have a school sun hat which they wear whenever they are outside.
The British Skin Foundation has a lot of sun safety advice for parents.
Eco Day of Action - REMINDER
This year, we will once again be joining with other schools in Marlow to participate in an Eco Day of Action. The focus will be on water and waterways. The children will be learning about the water cycle and considering how they can help keep our local waterways clean and useable. We will also be having an electricity-free day!
As part of the day, we are asking the children to come dressed in blue. We would like to raise money for WaterAid, so any donations would be really appreciated.
During the day, the Year 2 children will be performing their Ocean dance that they have been working on this half-term for the rest of the school.
Summer 2 term club sign-ups
- Dates: These clubs will start w/c 9th June
