If you are able to spare 2 hours a week we have been asked to draw attention to this scheme that is looking for volunteers to help support local families. 

We have been asked to draw attention to this survey by Hardyal Dhindsa, Derbyshire's Police and Crime Commissioner.

It is hope that as many people as possible take time to compete it.

CLICK HERE. It closes on 30th September 2017.

Your child should have brought home a prospectus and letter for Belper School last week. 

 

Applications close at midnight on 31st October 2017.

Have a look at the pictures of our new nursery classroom that is ready to open on Tuesday 5th September. CLICK HERE.

Children going to the nursery will walk down the left side of the school to get to their own personal gate with access straight to their nursery playground. All other children will enter school in the normal way around the right hand side of the school.

Our Premier Sport before school club will begin on Tuesday 5th September when children return to school.

Parents that wish to use this club are able to drop their children off at 7.45am five days a week. More information is available on our website. CLICK HERE.

Many thanks to all the children and families that supported our annual Ed Green cake sale day on the 19th July. We raised £166.11 which will be used by Ed's family to provide music and sport opportunities to children in memory of their son Ed Green, an ex pupil of St. John's.

We would like to remind you about the free workshop/information event to be led by Traci Good, an internet safety expert, on July 6th at 2.30pm and then again at 6pm.

This is a fantastic opportunity to see how you can help to keep your child safe and happy whilst they use their phones, laptops, tablets, game consoles and/or computers when connecting to the world wide web.

 

We strongly encourage all parents to come and look forward to seeing you at one of these sessions.

We have now confirmed four of our five INSET days for next school year.

We will be posting an update at 10.30am on Friday 30th June as to whether or not sport day will take place in the afternoon.

We hope that the weather allows it to continue as planned.
