Well done to them, we hope the children enjoy the film night this evening. A reminder of pick up times:

If your surname falls between I and Z please pickup at 5.00pm
Can we ask that you collect your child promptly and leave the area as soon as possible, maintaining social distancing at all times.
The winners from both competitions have received prizes which were very kindly donated by the PTA. We would like to say a big thank the PTA for organising these prizes and the film night, it has been especially difficult to try and organise a fundraiser that is fun for the children in the current circumstances.
Music lesson payment
For those of you whose children have music lessons, payment is now due. Please log in to the Schoolcomms Gateway and settle your account. Thank you.
Nasal Flu vaccination
A reminder to ensure you complete the on-line consent form for the nasal Flu vaccinations which take place on 13 November. Please complete the form even if your child has already had the vaccine or if you do not wish them to have it. There is a section on the form to complete to stipulate this.
Baileys School lunches
Please remember to order your child’s lunch for when they return to school after half term. Reception and KS1 children can order a hot meal as well as a packed lunch.
Spare clothing
Reception and Class 2 need some spare clothing if anyone has any they no longer require. They need trousers, tops and pants in ages 6 to 8. Please drop them in at the office. Thank you.
Premier Active out of hours clubs
Please see attached the latest information from Premier Active on their out of hours clubs.
Air ambulance clothing bank
The air ambulance clothing bank has been swapped for a smaller one which is now located next to the bin store by the main blue gates.
And finally,
A reminder that school is closed tomorrow for a staff training day so we would like to wish you all a good half term break and we look forward to seeing everyone back in school safe and well on Monday 2 November.
If you are out and about with your family over the half term break or for Halloween, please remember to adhere to the current Covid-19 guidelines:
Only meet in groups of up to six people
Observe social distancing with people outside of your household
Wash your hands regularly and use hand sanitiser
If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, arrange a test by visiting NHS.UK
If you are planning on going abroad please check the foreign office travel advice for self-isolating on return from countries that have entry restrictions to the UK.
Kind regards
Wolverton School
