Dear Parents and Carers,
Pupils in Key Stage 2 represented Mead at the O2 Young Voices concert last Friday. The children spent a very long day in rehearsals before performing to the audience in the evening. The children had worked incredibly hard learning the songs in readiness for the concert and gave it their all. A huge thank you to Mrs Kumszczynska for organising and preparing the choir and also to Mrs Bodle, Mrs Tull and Mrs Porter for supporting the children and making it possible for them to participate. Well done Mead Choir!
Parents Evening
You should have started to receive invitations to make appointments for Parents Evening which will take place on Tuesday 6th February and Wednesday 7th February. Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and 2 will be in the infant hall and Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 will take place in the Dining Hall.
Communication Survey
Thank you to those who completed the communication survey. We will be using this information to improve our communication with you throughout this half term. This will include curriculum letters and dates being shared well in advance of events taking place.
End of day collections
If your child is being collected by a different person at the end of the day, please inform the school. If we have not been informed, we will not be able to let your child go until we have spoken to you and have verbal permission, This is part of our safeguarding procedures. Thank you for your understanding.
Appointments
Please be aware that as we continue to improve our attendance and punctuality in school you will be asked for proof of appointments when collecting early or arriving late. This is to allow us to authorise the absence. Proof of appointments can be in the form of a text message or appointment card that can be shown to the office team which will inform the pupils attendance record. Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any queries please speak to Mrs Corless, Attendance Officer.
Friends of Mead Primary School
Last week I met with the Friends of Mead to discuss future events that will be taking place in school. The Friends of Mead will share further details about each event closer to the time but we are pleased to confirm that we will continue hosting the Mothers and Fathers Day gift sale as well as adding in an Easter event held in school for the children to enjoy. We have also agreed lots of plans for the end of the year, including a Summer Fayre, End of Year Disco and special Year 6 Leavers event. The Friends of Mead is reliant on help and support from our school community, if you are able to offer help and support, please contact friendsofmead@learningfederation.org.uk
