Uniform
Please remember that children should not wear jewellery of any form to school. This includes earrings of any description. Earrings are a safety hazard and if they are worn to school we will cover them with plaster tape and the child will not be able to participate in PE lessons. We would not expect to see the earrings being worn after this.
If parents and carers are considering having their child's ears pierced, we encourage them to do this during the summer holidays.
Parents/carers of children whose ears have just been pierced and need to have studs in them to maintain the piercing, should tape over the studs front and back, which may offer a measure of protection. The taping should be sufficient to prevent the stud post penetrating the bone behind the ear should an unintentional blow be received, for example from a collision on the playground. This taping will have to be worn to school until the healing process is completed, at which point the studs should be removed before school. Children will not be able to participate in PE lessons during this period. Retainers can be used as an alternative to taping during this period only.
Class Home Pages - School website
There is a home page for each class on our school website. To access the website you need to log in using the login details previously provided.
Each class home page has gone live today and provides parents with information about the curriculum for this half-term, some useful dates and access to such things as class timetables (for KS1) and information session presentations. The class home pages are updated each half-term.
For children new to the school, including Reception children, logins were sent out from the website earlier this week.
These logins will also give you access to the parent consultation portal which will go live later in the half-term. This will allow you to book your time to meet with your child's class teacher.
Home Learning – Google Classrooms
Optional Home Learning is posted in Google Classrooms each week on a Friday. Every child in the school will have a new login this year, and we had been hoping to email these to you so that you would be able to access Google Classrooms by today. Unfortunately, with the IT upgrades and changes that have happened over the summer, there have been a few issues with the logins for Google Classrooms. As soon as these issues have been resolved, we will email the logins to you.
Sandygate Sunday
- Date: Sunday 28th September 11.00am-12 noon
Once a term, we are invited to take part in the 10.59 service at All Saints Church. Some of our pupils will read prayers they have written, and we lead the congregation in one of the songs we sing in school.
All Sandygate families are welcome to come along to the service. We ask that children wear their red jumpers/cardigans to identify them as Marlow Infant pupils. They should sit with their family during the service and the school staff in church will invite them up at the appropriate times.
All Saints Community Fun Day
- Date: Sunday 28th September 1.00pm - 4.00pm
After Sandygate Sunday, the All Saints team will be holding a fun-filled event to which all our school families are invited. There will be lots of activities to enjoy and refreshments provided. This is a great opportunity to meet other local families as well as school ones. There is a leaflet containing full details at the bottom of the newsletter.
Individual school photographs
- Date: Friday 26th September
All children are to come dressed in full school uniform on this day as they will have their individual school photo taken.
