  • Harvest Donations

    Fri 30 Sep 2022

    We have decided to make a donation to The West End Food Bank this year as we know that many are having to use this will the rise in living costs. https://newcastlewestend.foodbank.org.uk

    We will also be donating to the elderly members of our community. If you know of a friend or family member who is in need of and would be grateful for a hamper, please let the school office have their details.

     

    We know that the cost of feeding our own families has risen dramatically. However, if you can spare any food items, we would be grateful for any donations. We will be accepting fresh fruit and vegetables, tinned and dried foods from 3rd to 6th October (inclusive).

  • Parent Consultations

    Fri 30 Sep 2022

    Parent consultations will take place week commencing 10th October (after school) and will take place from Monday to Wednesday. The days will vary slightly depending on your child’s teacher’s working days and wider school commitments.

     

    You can make an appointment from Monday 3rd October by contacting Miss Hughes in the school office.

     

    This meeting is an opportunity for you to hear how your child has settled into their new class and for their teacher to share their targets with you. If you are unable to make one of the scheduled appointments, please contact your child’s teacher via Dojo or Tapestry so that you can arrange a mutually convenient time.
    If you have received an invite to a SEN review meeting for your child, you do not need to make a separate parent consultation appointment.

  • Parking Around School

    Thu 08 Sep 2022

    We have received a call from our local residents due to a number of parents and carers blocking access to Richmond Terrace, Grove Road and Whitehall Road due to where they were parked.

    This has meant that the disabled school transport could not gain access to a child's home. This also means an emergency vehicle would not be able to gain access to the local streets.

    Please can we urge our families to park responsibly when collecting and dropping off children at school?

     

    We understand pick up and drop off times are extremely busy but please can we urge you to use the Percy Car Park to Park and Stride or park at a distance to school so that local streets like Whitehall & Grove Road do not get gridlocked and cause issues for our local community?

     

    Thank You.
