School News
IT HAS BEEN A HAPPY START to the new academic year. We welcome our new
reception children to Class 1 where they have settled in extremely well under
the guidance of Mrs Jackson, Mrs Holt, Mrs Estall and Mrs Doe.
Little Windmills will be using the Village Hall on a temporary basis whilst the work to their usual base at Reach Village Hall is being completed. They will be using our playground during their time next door. The school has had some minor refurbishments over the summer holidays - new floors to Class 1 and refurbished toilets for the girls. More obvious from the village, the hall exterior has been painted, giving the school a more cheery and welcoming appearance.
We are now ready to have a traverse climbing wall (low fitted foot and hand grips) fitted to the gable end of the school, opposite the elephant tree. This is being funded by our parents' association: FoSPS, as well as from a £500.00 donation from the Village Sports and Social Committee.
Whilst we wish good luck to all the Year 7s settling in to their new secondary schools, the cycle of the school year means that the process of applying for a reception place for September 2007 is underway. To start next September, your child will need to have been born between 1st September 2002 and 31 August 2003, turning five during the academic year 2007-08. If the school already has your details, families will automatically be sent an admissions' brochure. Otherwise please call the office on 01638 741 529 to arrange to have school prospectus and brochure sent to you. Visits to the school during the school day are warmly welcomed and can also be arranged by contacting the office.
All applications have to be with the school by 9th December 2006.
Our Harvest service takes place 11am on Thursday 5th October at St Mary's.
Our grounds day is on 14th October from 1pm-4pm; work will take place on completing our nature garden, as well as the general maintenance of pruning and re-barking of play areas.
