Charity Fundraiser Tuesday 14th December…Y3/ 4 Charity Fundraiser...
All money to go towards ‘The Pantry’ providing food for our local food bank for families in our local community. (This extra hour may just help families to have a little extra time to get a few last minute Christmas presents!)
Thank you in advance, Y3/4 teachers- Mrs. Noble and Mr. Lonsdale
Messages from All Saints’ C of E Church: Please read the attached magazine which has a lot of exciting events/activities you could be part of.
PARENTS EVENINGS Please note that our Spring Parents Evenings will be on Monday 24th January, 2022 and Thursday 27th January, 2022. Both evenings will be after the school day and Mrs Vickers, our School Business Manager, will be sending out further information regarding these evenings. |
The Parents Association
Thank you to all those who brought donations on our two non-uniform days.
The Christmas Shop - For this event we are asking that children who wish to use the Christmas Shop bring in an unused gift item of no less than £1. Please can items be labelled as Christmas Shop and all items need to be in school by the 17th December.
The children who brought in a gift may then bring in £1 on the 20th December so that they can choose and buy an item from the Christmas Shop, so they have a gift which can be gifted to a family member as a 'surprise'. This item will be wrapped and tagged for them to bring home and put under the tree for Christmas.
Thank you, The All Saints' Parents Association.

CHRISTMAS LUNCH, NATIVITY, PARTIES & CAROL SERVICE INFORMATION As always Christmas is such a special time of the year and we are delighted to be able to do some things this Christmas that were simply not allowed last year. However, due to LA guidelines still in place and other restrictions in places of worship etc. we will not be able to do things fully as in pre-covid times. As always we have thought hard and in the All Saints’ Way about how we can include as many people as possible and have as many events still take place for the children. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to a fun filled festive period ahead.
Christmas Lunch – we will be having our school Christmas Lunch on Tuesday 14th December. This will be a special occasion for our children but due to the restrictions on large crowds in our setting, we will unfortunately, not be able to invite any parents on this occasion. Thank you for your understanding and please do order a dinner for your child no later than 7.12.21 .
Christmas at Church – Due to capacity restrictions in churches we have decided to run three separate events to ensure all children get to experience Christmas at Church and our young children’s families can see them in their starring roles! 15th December KS1 Nativity at 9.30am and 6pm. It is absolutely brilliant that x2 family members are allowed to attend each performance. However, the Church has asked that all adults wear a mask if they are not exempt, you remain seated once you have found a seat and the children remain on the stage throughout the performance. In line with the LA guidance, we are also asking that you all take a LFD test on the day of and before coming to each performance. It also goes without saying that If you are showing any symptoms of covid-19, you remain at home 20th December at 9.30am – the Reception children will be performing their very first school nativity which is really exciting!! The rules above apply and x4 family members will be allowed to attend the performance. 22nd December at 1.30pm - KS2 will be attending church for a Carol Service at 1.30pm. As the capacity for seating is currently only 225, we will only be allowed to have the children in the Church. There will be a retiring collection at the end of the R and KS1 performances.
Christmas Parties - All classes will be having Christmas parties in school. See the diary dates at the end and party letters.
