• Flu Vaccination Letters

  Thu 28 Sep 2023 Mrs Carvell

  2023 NHS Flu Vaccination Letters have started to be distributed by Mrs Cooper (Medical/Welfare Assistant) to our Reception to Year 6 parents today.

   

  It has come to our attention that there is a problem when typing in the link provided on the letter for the online NHS consent form.

   

  Once this problem is resolved we will ensure a new link is sent to you.

   

  Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.

   

  Thank you.

• Considerate parking

  Tue 19 Sep 2023

  Many thanks to the majority of our parents and families, who need to bring the car to school at the beginning or end of the day and do so with care and attention. This is appreciated by parents of children, who are walking, and local neighbours. 

   

  Unfortunately we have received messages this week that some of our families may not be parking with care or consideration for safety. 

   

  Please can all families help us maintain positive relationships our neighbours and ensure the safety of our children by parking carefully for example by not blocking drives or parking half on and half off the pavement, and parking safely by not parking on the yellow zig zags. 

  Thank you

  Families need to apply for their places by midnight on the 31st October 2023. More information and links to the online application form can be found on the Derbyshire applications website. CLICK HERE. 

   

• Welcome back to school

  Mon 04 Sep 2023

  Good afternoon

   

  I hope that you have all enjoyed a lovely summer holiday and that you are all ready to come back to school at 9am tomorrow, Tuesday 5th September. We look forward to speaking to the children about their holidays and then helping them settle back into the school routine with their new teachers as quickly and happily as possible. 

   

  All of the building work at the front of school has finished and this scaffolding been taken down. Therefore, children will be able to come to school through the normal gate at the side of school at 9am and then leave school through this gate again at 3.30pm. We will not be using the big double gates from the carpark that come straight onto the playground.

   

  We still have some scaffolding up as builders finish replacing the roof at the back of the building. But this will have no impact on getting in or out of the building.

   

  See you all tomorrow. 

  Mr. Averis.

• Building work beginning on Monday 17th July

  Fri 14 Jul 2023

  A few weeks ago, we shared that we are expecting builders to be working at St. John's over the summer break. They will be replacing some of the flat roof on the original building. 
  Some of the building work may begin next week, during the last week of term, as there are plans to start putting up the scaffolding whilst children are still at school. This means that next week, we are expecting scaffolding to put up around our year one classrooms at the front of school. If this does take place, as hoped, then we will have to alter the way that children come into school. 
  Please can parents be aware that we may, therefore, be using the bottom car park double gates at the beginning and end of every day, rather than the single pedestrian gate at the side of the school for the last few days of term. The scooter park will be open as normal. 

• Junior sport festival

  Wed 12 Jul 2023

  We hope to give all the junior children their sport festival tomorrow morning, Thursday 13th July, to replace the sport afternoons that were cancelled a couple of weeks ago due to the weather forecasts. 

   

  Please can you make sure that your child has there PE kit in school so that they can take part. 

   

  Unfortunately we are not inviting parents or carers to this event, the children will be cheered and supported by their friends.
