After School Clubs

After school sports clubs start next week for KS2 classes with football for the first half term. We also have a KS1 Lego club that Mr Forman will be starting the following week. Make sure to get letters back as places are limited.

Mrs Armstrong has also mentioned a book club, but we might just let her get back to work before adding more to her load... maybe in a few weeks time though?

We have also secured some KS2 after school rugby clubs run by Leicester Tigers for after half term. This will mean that Miss Cole will be able to run a KS1 sports club after half term too. More info on that nearer the time.

Our breakfast and after school care clubs are being run by Mrs Robinson now. They include food with cereal and toast for breakfast and a snack such as a wrap or something similar for after school, prepared by the kitchen staff. Mrs Robinson has been asking the children what they would like to have included in the club and the children have been enjoying the new giant Jenga blocks and some of the old favourites such as the table football and toy cars etc. If you have any unwanted toys in good condition that you think the children might enjoy then please do think of us.

Many Thanks

£500 from Sandhu Stores and Nisa

Thank you again to the Sandhu family who have secured £500 funding for the school from the charity grants that Nisa give away to community organisations. We intend to use some of the money to buy new sports kits for our children to wear when they represent the school. Do remember them next time you need to pop out and get some groceries!

Parking

This is a regular Newsletter item but hopefully we have some good news. The Village Club have kindly re-opened their car park at busy drop off and pick up times to ease congestion in the village. This means that parents and staff are able to use the car park but they need to complete a disclaimer form first. These forms are available from the club (why not pop in for a drink and support the club while picking up the form!?) and we have some forms in school. This means that the club's insurance is affordable for them as cars are then parked there at their own risk. 

Can we also politely remind staff and parents to make sure that the access to the back of the houses on New Row beside the church is not blocked at any time.

Volunteers

We are looking for any volunteers who would like to be a regular part of our school team. There are always lots of jobs from preparing resources to hearing readers and more. If you have a bit of time you can spare on a regular basis we would love to hear from you. We have an application form available from the office and we will organise your DBS check etc. Then you will be ready to go. Many of our school staff started their careers with voluntary work in schools so who knows where it will lead!

Safeguarding

Our school year always starts with an INSET Day and the central part of that day is based around safeguarding of children training for all staff. This is focused around the new Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024 document from the government. We also adopt and contextualise the Staffordshire Safeguarding policy for our setting and this is posted on our website. Please do check it out if you have the time on the following link: Manor Safeguarding Policy
