I hope you are well and were able to enjoy some family time over the Easter break. Below are some awards that we would like to share with you and some important information that you should be aware of.
Polling Day - Thursday 6th May
Mead is being used as a Polling Station for the Greater London Elections on Thursday 6th May. The children do not need to come to school on this day and work will be set on Google Classroom. However, if either parent is a Key Worker or your child is considered to be vulnerable, places will be available for children to come to school to complete their Google Classroom learning. A few key points to note:
Breakfast Club will not open on this day as the school kitchen is closed.
Any child staying at school on this day must have a packed lunch.
Please complete the Google form by Wednesday 28th April to secure a place.
School will reopen to all children on Friday 7th May.
School photograph information
Carmel Jane Photography will be at Mead on Thursday 29th of April 2021, to take the individual portraits. All parents must pre-register, before the photography date above. This is important as it enables you to gain quick access to your child's photographs and the opportunity to purchase them.
To do this, you will need to go to www.carmeljaneshop.co.uk and enter the following code: JRP3T8K
You will then be asked to pre-register and create an account using your email address and your child's full school register name. By pre registering, when the photos are ready you will receive an automatic email notification to inform you that your child's photos are now ready to be viewed and purchased, you will then be able to create your account or if you already have an account, please log in to view your child’s images.
All orders will be sent to your home address free of charge for a 2-week window.
Unfortunately we are not able to offer sibling photographs this year due to crossing bubbles but Carmel Jane Photography are opening up their studio for sibling shots during half term week from 1st of June to 3rd of June. You will need to contact Hayley on info@carmeljane.co.uk to book a slot between 10am to 2pm. The studio is located just between Brentwood and Ingatestone. There will be no charge for the booking and the photos will be uploaded to your private viewing gallery where you will be able to view and purchase the photos.
