Safety alert

Following the attempted abduction last week, we received the following email this afternoon (Thursday) from the Local Authority:

Further to the incident that occurred in the Weston Rhyn area last week, a similar suspicious incident occurred in Oswestry on Tuesday this week.  

Our advice to schools is the same and our Crime Prevention Officer suggests some stranger-danger guidance in assemblies and to consider informing parents and advise pupils and students not to walk to/from school alone.

We would like to assure parents and guardians that we have spoken to all children about stranger awareness and keeping themselves safe but if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.

Operation Christmas Child – Shoeboxes

We are taking part in the Shoebox Appeal again this year and children will be bringing home a leaflet with all the information this week. This is completely voluntary but in previous years we have always found that the children are keen to take part. Filled shoeboxes can be left at the main office and need to be returned to school by Monday 14th November. Thank you in advance for your support.

Weekly News 14.10.16

Attempted abduction

We received the following information today from the Local Authority.

“There has been a recent attempted abduction of a pupil walking home from school in the Weston Rhyn area.  The police are involved.

Our Crime Prevention Officer, Ian Bartlett suggests some stranger-danger guidance in assemblies and to consider informing parents and advise pupils and students not to walk to/from school alone.”

We have spoken to all the children in each class this afternoon about stranger-danger. We discussed not running off from the adult/older child who they are walking with and reminded them not to speak to anyone who is a stranger to them.  We also discussed what to do if anyone approaches them and reminded them that they should tell an adult if they ever see someone or something which makes them feel unsafe.

If you have any concerns about the above, please do not hesitate to speak to me.

Parking

A letter has been sent home with children today (or they will bring it home on Monday) with a reminder that there is no parking on the car park after school other than after 5:00 on Tuesday.  This is to ensure children’s and adults’ safety.

Food Bank Donations

This Harvest time we are collecting for the Barnabas Food Bank.  Karen from the Food Bank visited school this morning with Clive and Laura from the Coop and the children were all very enthusiastic in their willingness to fill the box in the main entrance.  The Coop have offered to match the donations brought into school!

Cancelled Clubs

Please remember that there are NO CLUBS on Tuesday or Thursday next week because of Parents Evening  and there is no football club on Wednesday because of a tournament.

Halloween Disco

We look forward to seeing you all at the FOBs disco on Friday 21st.

Have a good weekend.
