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.

Parents evening

Just a reminder that the Parents Evening booking system is now open on the website.  If you are unable to attend on the available dates and times, please speak to your child’s class teacher(s) and they will endeavour to meet with you on a different day.

Punctuality and absence

We recognise that the closure of the school car park may have meant changes to your morning travel arrangements but we have seen a large increase in the number of children arriving at school late.  Children should be in school for 8:55 when the register is taken. Our Education Welfare Officer from the Local Authority visits monthly and may issue ‘notices’ to parents/guardians if their child arrives late at school on a number of occasions.

Please could we also remind you to phone School by 9:30 if your child is off sick. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Mrs Chadwick leaving

As you are probably aware, Mrs Chadwick is leaving at the end of this half term as she is moving away from Shropshire.  If you wish to make a contribution towards a leaving gift there is a collection at the school office.

Residential trips

If you would like your child to take part in the Year 5/6 visit to Arthog or the Year 3/4 visit to Condover next year, please return the deposit by the end of next week.  We need to confirm final numbers before the half-term holiday.

Hope you have a good weekend.
