Whole School Letter

SNOW - WE WILL DO OUR UTMOST TO KEEP THE SCHOOL OPEN
However, the office were in-undated with calls last week from parents asking if school is open in the morning, or if it is closing during the day. Please can we remind you that if the school is closed it will be announced on local radio in the morning and we will also post it on the school Blog. 95% of pupils were able to get in on Thursday, which was very good; absences will be authorised for those who genuinely cannot get into school safely. However, any absence for ‘playing in the snow’ will not be authorised. For those who cannot get into school, please look at the school blog where some homework will be posted.

BAD WEATHER ARRANGEMENTS REMINDER
In the event of bad weather conditions, please listen to the following radio stations for information with regard to whether the school has to be closed or not:
Radio Suffolk 95.5, 95.9, 103.9 and 104.6FM - updates at 10 past and 20 to each hour
Broadland Norfolk 102.4FM / SGR FM 97.1-96.4FM / Beach Radio 103.4 and 97.4FM
You can also look at the County Council Website at http://schoolclosures.suffolk.gov.uk

CHRISTMAS LUNCH – Wednesday 15 December
Payment for the Christmas lunch is required on MONDAY 13 DECEMBER. The cost for the week is £10.90, the day £2.90, or an additional 90p is required if you have paid for the whole term but not for the Christmas lunch yet. Please note there is NO Nursery Lunch club on this day.

NUT ALLERGIES – REMINDER NO NUTS IN SCHOOL
We would like to stress again to parents that it is imperative that you DO NOT pack any nut / nut products in your child’s lunch / snack box. We have a number of children at school who are severely allergic to nuts and if exposed can suffer life threatening anaphylactic reactions. Please help to keep all our children safe.

TRIM TRAIL SAFETY
Please can we remind parents that you should not allow your children to play on the Trim Trail before or after school for safety reasons.
