Message from Mrs Laskey

Dear Parents and Carers

I cannot believe that we have come to the end of our second week after the summer break. The children have settled back into the school routine well and are active in their learning.

This week it has been lovely to welcome so many parents, carers and grandparents to our ‘Meet and Greet’ the teacher sessions.  Walking round and seeing the children sharing where they sit, pointing out their peg and other parts of the classroom has been really encouraging and shows that they have settled well.   

Following on from last year's successful curriculum workshops we are again inviting you into school to receive information about the curriculum that your child will be learning this year. These sessions will also provide you with information about how you can help your child at home.  During the session you will also be given an opportunity to work with your child.

The dates for each year group are below and each one will start at 9 a.m.  Please sign in at the school office as the sessions will take place in the school hall. If you are unable to attend the Powerpoint produced will be available on your child’s class website page and any copies of materials will be sent out to you. 

If you would like a grandparent to attend in your absence that is fine and if younger siblings are attending there will be toys and books to play with in the hall.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend

Mrs Laskey

Year One Tuesday 24th September

In an ever changing, digital world it can be difficult as a parent to keep up with all the latest safeguarding information in order to know how to best protect your child from online harm.
 
Please the Parent/Carer training that is being hosted by West Mercia Police, to support parents in knowing and understanding the dangers children can face and strategies you can use to keep them safe online.

Barnardos Information

Regular attendance at school means that your child will make the most of their education and improve their chances later on in life. At St Ambrose, good attendance is of high importance and we strive to have at least 96% attendance. Please help us with this target. If you need any support, then school is here to help so that your child can get the very best out of the education we provide. 

We will continue sending out regular push notifications about attendance so that you are aware if you child falls below our 96% target and we are working with Louise Howles, our Education Welfare Officer to support us with improvements.
