THIS WEEK'S NEWS
INSET DAY FRIDAY 22ND OCTOBER The school will be closed for all pupils on this day to allow us fully focus on THE WRITE STUFF training. We are very lucky and excited to have JANE CONSIDINE herself presenting the training. In order to have her here in person all staff will be making a prompt START at 8AM, this then allows us to finish at 2pm ready for a well deserved break. We will also be providing Costco goodies for breakfast and lunch. Please be ready to start with note pads and pens in the hall on Friday morning to give Jane a big Parkfield welcome!
MATHS PASSPORT GP will be talking to all TAs this week about the maths passport assessment that is to be completed next week. This will given an insight into how well children are meeting the expectations and help identify those that need additional support.
FIRST AID TRAINING from the National College is to be completed before the end of November by all members of staff that are not first aiders.
ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT needs to be signed by all staff and then handed to the office please.
REMINDER - PREVENT TRAINING Before October half term all members of staff must complete the PREVENT training that's found on the National College. A link will be emailed and the course can be accessed on your hub when you log into the National College. This course is 30 minutes and includes a 'simple' assessment at the end. Please find time to complete - this may include helping cover one another so that the training can be watched. Warning - it's not the most exciting training you'll ever complete!
RECEPTION, Y1, Y2 As always, please be mindful that these are classrooms where the children are learning. Please stop all conversations at the door before you walk through. Please don't walk through whilst chatting as it disturbs the children's learning. Thank you!
