Notes/Reminders

Book Week 27th March - 3rd March

Please be reminded that Book Week begins next week.  The children will engage in a variety of activities throughout the week (including meeting a published author!) and are encouraged to dress up as their favourite book character on Thursday 2^nd March.  Children are also able to enter the 'Potato Book Character' competition (entries due Wednesday 1^st March) and we would love to have a collection of photos of our children being storytellers on our online Padlet https://padlet.com/CardinalNewman/childstoryteller).

Lenten lunch

A reminder that next Wednesday the whole school will be having a simple lunch as part of our Lenten commitment.  A choice of soup, a bread roll and a piece of fruit will be provided by the school kitchen for children that are booked in for the school lunch on Scopay that day. 

Parking on Arch Road

Parking in the roads around the school can be very difficult and we ask parents not to park on Arch Road during school arrival and departure times. There is free parking at Coronation Recreation Ground with a short traffic free walk to the school.

An excellent way to avoid the congestion and park just a short walk from the school is to get a parking permit for the Hersham Station car park in Walton Park.  It's completely free and is valid for morning drop off and afternoon pick up times.

To apply for a parking permit, please email the office with your name, address and car registration number. These details will be forwarded to Elmbridge Borough Council who will then post the permit directly to your home address. Thank you for your co-operation. 

ExpertEd Midweek maths Webinars

Year 5 and year 6 children are invited to take part in a series of webinars offered by ExpertEdLive, an evening online programme offering the opportunity to connect with expertise from across the UK and beyond. ‘Midweek Maths’ aims to stretch and challenge interested pupils in Years 5 & 6 and to encourage conversations about the subject between children and their parents. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend together with their child.

The series will be hosted live events. Each week will feature intriguing problems that encourage logical thinking and discussion of different approaches with input from specialist guests and the audience at home. Participants will also be able to submit their own questions to be answered by our expert guests and attempt takeaway questions with prizes awarded to the best answers.

Sessions will be delivered as Zoom webinars on the following dates:

Midweek Maths – 5 Wednesday evenings beginning 1^st March 7.00-7.40pm

We would be delighted to have your interested son/daughter along with a parent to join us for these sessions. A brief trailer video and registration links are available on our website https://expertedlive.org/family/ (places are limited).

School Dinners

Please remember to book school dinners on Scopay at least 1 week in advance or ring the school office before 9am if you have left it too late to book/cancel online for that day.

Allergies

If your child has an allergy please make sure the school office is informed. Please check the menu carefully before booking lunch for your child.
