Weekly Parent Bulletin - Friday 5th June
Dear parents,
What a stunning half term break! Children across the school look like they enjoyed the warm weather. It felt like my family spent all week in the sea!
With this being a 7 week half term, I'd like to ask for parents support with keeping our uniform expectations held high. Pupils should continue to wear smart school shoes on regular uniform days, have suitable haircuts with long hair tied back, no hair dye and no nail varnish. Our uniform policy is deliberately quite a commonsense & comfortable one, avoiding items like blazers / ties. So your support in upholding these basics is greatly appreciated.
I'm afraid to repeat we still have far too many children in school daily without rain coats or navy sun caps. Please make sure these two items are a staple of every day, packed away in rucksacks if needed.
Today we recognised our Head Girls charity by raising £449.83 so far for Alzheimer's Awareness. As well as wearing bright colours, children across the school decorated 'forget-me-not' flower petals for a special new school display.
Tomorrow we host the regional ResearchEd by the sea event. Whilst this event might not carry obvious impact for your child, it's quite a prestigious opportunity for Avonwood to host educators from far and wide for this day of CPD. I continue to be proud of the way Avonwood leads the way with many initiatives, so hosting this event once again feels a natural fit for this school. Kudos to Mr Jackson-Taylor for making it happen.
On Wednesday 17th June it’s national ‘Thank a Teacher’ Day. If you can spare the time to write a few kind words about a member of staff, these free e-cards often mean more than you think. You can send one via the link below:
If unsure of a staff email address, use our office address and we will forward this on:
And finally, we have a large mountain of lost property in our front foyer. Please make sure you come and have a look if you are missing some uniform items as this will be cleared out next week.
Have a great weekend!
Mr Jackson
