Weekly Newsletter - 01/07/22- Important Information

 



Dear Parents and Carers,

This week Mead has been awarded the Gold School Games Mark which acknowledges the commitment to sports participation across the school. We are very proud of this achievement and would like to thank Mr Cash, Mr Robinson and Mr Stambridge for their continued support, encouragement and enthusiasm for developing our school teams and the opportunity for all of our children to participate in sports throughout the school day.

Year 6 Leavers Assembly

Parents and Carers of children in Year 6 are invited to a leavers assembly on Thursday 21st July at 1:45pm. The children are busy preparing for the assembly and would love you to join us for this special event. Further details about leavers events will be communicated by the Year 6 team.

Summer Holiday meal scheme 2022

With funding from the Household Support Fund, the Council will continue the School Holiday Meal Scheme to support eligible families over the summer school break. The scheme allows eligible families to receive £90 (£15 per week) per child, to purchase food over the 6 week holiday period to replace the meals a child would have received during a school day.



The summer application window has now opened for a short period closing on Wednesday 6th July at 5 pm. Families who have previously received payment via the scheme do not need to reapply and will automatically receive the funds into their nominated bank. Details about the scheme have been updated on the Council’s website.


Parent Hub

A huge thank you to those who were able to attend the meeting on Monday. As you know plans have been put in place to hold a pre-loved uniform sale. Details of this will follow. We will be creating a Parent Hub Tab on our school website where you can find all of the information from meetings and get involved.


Parking

There continues to be a number of parents parking on a dropped curb and blocking driveways which is impacting our school community and neighbours. The wellbeing of the children of Mead Primary continues to be our top priority and we ask that all parents and carers park considerately. Please see the link here https://www.havering.gov.uk/info/20004/parking/141/apply_for_a_dropped_kerb/2 for parking information and ways to report illegal parking.
