Learning for Life

Knowledge ~ Values ~ Opportunities

1. PHOTO CONSENTS

On MCAS, please ensure you have ‘granted’ or ‘declined’ your consent for the school to use photographs of your child(ren) on a range of platforms, such as social media, the school website and external publications. Your consent allows us to share photos of your child’s learning and school visits throughout the year. We also politely ask that you complete the other permission consents on MCAS, e.g., permission for your children to taste different foods (for example, in DT lessons), and watching clips from U (EYFS to Y6) and PG rated films (Y5/6 only).

2. DROPPING YOUR CHILD OFF AT THE WALL

A gentle reminder: when dropping off your child in the morning, please say your goodbyes at the wall rather than walking onto the playground. This helps us keep the drop-off area clear and supports the children in developing independence as they start their day. Members of staff are available for you to speak to at the wall and will support your child to come into school if needed.

3. INHALERS

If your child has an inhaler, they must have an inhaler in school and you are required to sign an asthma card. The SEND Team have contacted you about this.

4. FLU IMMUNISATIONS

The school nurse team will visit on Wednesday 22 October to give pupils their annual flu vaccinations. The vaccination is strongly recommended to help protect children against flu. It can be an unpleasant experience and sometimes causes serious complications. Follow the instructions on the attached document to register your child. You will need to complete a form for each child you have in school.

5. AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS

Children in Years 3 to 6 can sign up for a club by completing this form, indicating your preference of 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice. The closing date for this is the end of Saturday 13th September. There are no clubs this term for Reception and Years 1 and 2; however, Discovery Sports are offering a paid multi-skills club for the price of £3.50 a session. Their club finishes at 4:30pm so it is a slightly longer session that KS2. You can sign up by clicking here.

6. SQUIRRELS AND BEAVERS

Attached is information from the Boston Squirrels (aged 4-6) and Boston Beavers (aged 6-8). These groups are a great introduction to the Scouts and encourage the children to get outdoors, meet new friends and enjoy fun activities.
