Edenthorpe Hall Primary School
Dear Parents and Carers Thank you for the large number of questionnaires which have been returned. We have begun to analyse these and will inform you of the outcomes as soon as possible and will consult if further actions are required. We are looking to change the format of our school newsletter and have begun to look at some example formats from other schools that have been given to us by parents. You will notice that we have changed the format slightly as a trial and it is in colour. Please let us know what you think! If you have any ideas for how the newsletter could be further improved please let us know.
School Visits
Pupil Reports
Several year groups have had or will be having visits this half term:
Your child’s report will be sent home on Friday 3rd July. Please ensure the reply slip accompanying the report is returned to school.
Year 5 will be visiting Austerfield Study Centre Tuesday 30th June. Year 6 are looking forward to their residential visit to Hollowford later this month. Year 2 really enjoyed their visit to Cannon Hall Farm as part of their topic about farming. Year 4 had a great time in the outdoors at Potteric Carr.
Golden Time We have been working with the children to find out what sort of activities they would like to take part in during future Golden Time sessions. These will be posted on the website for you to review. If you have any further ideas or are able to volunteer to support an activity please let us know.
Lunchtime and After-School Clubs We are developing the range of clubs on offer for the children.
Parent Forum The next Parent Forum meeting will take place on Thursday 18th June at 6pm. We will be sharing the curriculum in place from next year and asking for your ideas on how to make it even better.
Transition In order to ensure an effective transition into their new year group, the children will be taking part in a quality transition over a four day period. This will be an opportunity for them to meet and work with their new class teacher and experience life in their new class. It will also allow you to meet with the new class teacher.
Currently we have: Monday after school: Knitting Tuesday after school: Rounders Wednesday lunchtime: Choir Look out for a Drama Club coming soon! Plans are underway for an extended range of after school and lunchtime clubs in September.
Attendance Please can all parents/carers contact the school office before 9am to report your child’s absence.
Fire Safety Audit This took place on 09.06.15 and was carried out by a LA Health & Safety officer and a member of the South Yorkshire fire service. You will be pleased to know that the school received good and was complemented on the politeness and good behaviour of the children around school.
Open Evening There will be an optional parents evening on Wednesday 8th July, should you wish to discuss anything on your child’s report. Details will be available regarding this, nearer the time.
New Parents Evening At 6pm on Tuesday 30th June there will be a meeting for parents only, who have a child starting in September. There will be opportunity for children to visit at a later date.
