Dear Parents and Carers,
Christmas Fayre-Thank you!
It was lovely to see so many people from our school community come together and celebrate at the Christmas Fayre last weekend. The Christmas Fayre wouldn’t have been possible without the Parent Hub who planned and organised every detail. We are very lucky to have such a dedicated team of volunteers. On behalf of the children and staff at Mead, I would like to extend our thanks to all of the Parent Hub volunteers and their families for their dedication and support.
The day was a huge success and raised £2882.72 which will directly benefit every child at Mead Primary School. We hope that the success of the Christmas Fayre marks the start of many more days that we can share with our school community. Thank you all for your continued support.
If you haven’t already done so, please complete the Parent Hub Google Form to share your feedback- Thank you! https://forms.gle/nZ6XGZycTFwADASk7
Punctuality
There has been an increase in the number of children who are arriving late to school. All children should be in school by 8:50am, arriving after this time means that your child will be marked as late. Arriving late to school means that the children lose learning time and miss opportunities. The doors open to all pupils at 8:30am. Punctuality is also monitored by our Attendance officer.
School uniform
Please ensure that your child wears the correct school uniform to school every day. All children should wear: A bottle green sweatshirt or cardigan, collared white t-shirt, and black trousers or tailored skirt. Leggings are not part of the uniform policy and should not be worn to school. Children may wear flat ankle boots (no heels). We have also requested that school fleeces be made available with the uniform provider. If you need support with uniform costs please speak to the office as you may be eligible for uniform vouchers if you have not already received these this school year.
PE Kits: plain black/grey jogging bottoms or black/green shorts and white t-shirt with appropriate footwear.
Christmas Information
