PARENT GOVERNOR

Thank you all so very much for considering becoming a parent governor and thank you to the parents who have been nominated. Please do take some time to read the statements from the four parents and then proceed to vote for 2 parents by 12 noon on Wednesday 16th December 2020.

Schools up and down the country depend upon governors volunteering their time, talents and expertise. We’re so grateful for your support in this matter.

Please read all the documentation which was sent via Tapestry this morning.

Look out for the letter which explains how you can purchase this exciting book of excellent poetry which has been written by All Saints’ Primary children. A huge thank you to Mrs Noble who has initiated this project.        

Health & Safety!

We are looking forward to seeing our year 5 children and staff return to school tomorrow and appreciate you continuing to follow the health and safety guidance.

• Please refrain from driving along Brickbridge Rd between 3.00pm and 3.30pm.
• Remember only one parent is to drop off and pick up and to remain socially distanced whilst waiting.  (A person who maintains appropriate social distancing (over 2 metres) will not be classed as a ‘close contact’ and will not be required to self-isolate.)
• Please continue to encourage your children to remain on the pavement when walking and continue to collect your children from the pavement on the school side of the road. Thank you for your cooperation as we endeavour to keep your children safe.

Vodafone’s COVID- response offer for people that are unemployed

Vodafone have just launched a new £10 offer for people claiming Universal Credit or Jobseekers Allowance, here. The package is part of Vodafone’s COVID-response activity and will provide people with the package for 6 months, with no contract nor credit checks required, so suitable for those with low credit ratings.

A message from our Administration Team …

We would like to kindly request that items are brought into school by your child in the morning rather than being dropped off during the school day. This is to reduce the amount of occasions that the office staff need to go to the gate, handle items from different households and then deliver them to different class doors. Thank you for your understanding.

Please can we remind families to keep school informed when there is any change of personal information, including address, mobile and email.

Mini Winter Reading Challenge

This Winter Stockport Libraries are introducing the Winter Reading Challenge following the enormous success of the Summer Reading Challenge.  This is to encourage children to keep reading over the holidays and to give virtual rewards along the way!  Children will be asked to read any range of books of their choice and to review them on the website www.wintermini.org.uk. This is also the website you need to visit to access the Winter Mini Challenge.  We would love to see as many of our All Saints’ Superstars as possible taking part in this lovely event.  It will start on the 1^st December and run until the 15^th January.

Wishing you all a very well read Winter with lots of virtual prizes along the way!
