Parent consultations
- Dates: Tuesday 21st & Wednesday 22nd October, between 4pm-7pm
Parent consultation slots will be live on our school website from Monday.
To book:
- Log onto our school website, then a 'Parents' Evening' button will appear at the very top left of your screen
- Select your preferred time slot
- Click to reserve it
- Remember to then click save, otherwise someone else may take your slot
- Jot down your time slot, as you won't receive a confirmation email
Appointments are 10 minutes long, and teachers will be sharing with parents/carers how their child(ren) has settled into the new school year, where they are in relation to the expected standards for this time of year, and some next steps for their learning.
In Key Stage 1, there will also be a chance to look at your child's books.
Harvest Festival
- Date: Thursday 9th October
We will be holding our Harvest Festival service twice in school, one at 9.00am-9.30am and the other at 2.30pm-3.00pm. The service will be led by Year 2 worship leaders and each year group will be singing a song as part of the service.
In the past, this has always been a very popular service and, as space in our school hall is limited, we have had to hold the service twice to accommodate everyone who wished to attend.
We would like to ask all parents who would like to attend this service to book a session.
One Can Trust
Harvest time is all about being thankful for what we have, and we will be talking to the children about this in school. Helping and sharing with others is a good way of showing how thankful we are, and so we will be supporting One Can Trust (High Wycombe) over the Harvest period. One Can Trust works with organisations, including Buckinghamshire Council to provide weekly food parcels to those who need their help.
We will be collecting items for One Can Trust from Monday 6th October for our Harvest offering.
There will be boxes out at drop-off and pick-up all week. Please see below their priority list of items. If every child could bring in one tin or packet, then we would have 160 items to donate to One Can Trust, which would have a big impact. We will send out another reminder closer to the time.
One Can Trust has a list of their most wanted items which you can see below.
Morning Snack
Please could parents & carers remember that items sent into school for morning snack should consist of small fresh, or dried fruit. For example, a small banana, a box of raisins or a pot of sugar snap peas. Please do not send in Fruit Winders, crisps or biscuits.
Help needed!
Does anyone have a 3m x 6m gazebo? The Year 1 team would like to borrow one for a couple of weeks towards the end of this half-term. Ideally, the gazebo would have sides (plastic). The gazebo would be used as part of the Year 1 Outdoor Learning lessons.
They would be hugely grateful if anyone was able to help with this.

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. The children will be singing one of their favourite Harvest songs 'Plates Piled High'. We have only 10 children signed up so far, and we would like lots more to keep these 10 company!
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.
Now that the summer holidays feel like a distant memory, if you have any left-over foreign currency (notes or coins) hanging around at the bottom of bags, purses or wallets, please drop it into the collection bucket at reception in front of the school office, and we will turn it into cash to support the school!
