1. PARENTS’ EVENING

Thank you for attending parents’ evening this week.  It was great to see so many of you in school and to receive your positive comments.  The next parents’ evenings are planned for February 2026.

2. ATTENDANCE UPDATE

As part of our ongoing approach to supporting good attendance, you may receive a letter by email if your child has had three or more days off school this term. This is simply to let you know their current attendance rate and to keep you informed. Thank you for your continued support in helping your child attend school regularly.

3. PE DAYS FOR TERM 2

Attached are the PE days for Term 2.  Please remember your child should be wearing the school’s PE uniform and be able to take earrings out if they are pierced.

Pupils in Reception still to come in their school uniform and bring their PE kit to get changed at school, please.

4. FOOD ORDERS NEXT TERM

Attached are the menus for Term 2 from Ideal School Meals. We are really pleased with the quality and variety of food from Ideal Meals – the pizza bagel is going down a storm!  Remember, children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 all receive FREE school meals as part of the Universal Infant Free School Meal programme (UIFSM). They don’t have to have the meal every day, but perhaps once or twice a week would encourage them to try new foods or have something different.  To sign up, visit the school’s website School Meals | Tower Road Academy

5. SUPPORT YOUR CHILD WITH READING, SPELLING, MATHS, MEMORY AND ORGANISATION.

Attached is a flyer with information about a free online workshop for supporting children at home delivered by Dyslexia Outreach. 

6. FLU IMMUNISATIONS

We had a round of flu immunisations in school this week. The school nurse team will visit again on Monday 8 December.  You will need to complete the form for each child you have.  Please click on the link in the attached ‘Flu Immunisation’ document to register your child. You do not need to do this if they have already had one, or if you plan to get an appointment at your doctors’ surgery.  

We strongly urge you to get the vaccination as it helps protect children against flu which can be an unpleasant experience and sometimes causes serious complications.
