Dear Parents and Carers,

I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone for their unwavering support this week. It has been another busy and productive one, and I am so grateful for the positive contributions from both staff and families.

A special thank you goes to all our wonderful children for their hard work and enthusiasm in class. It’s a joy to see the growth and progress each week. I’d also like to extend my appreciation to the parents and carers who continue to be actively involved in our school community. Your ongoing support helps make our school a truly special place and it was a real pleasure to see so many of you joining in with inspire sessions over the past two weeks. I do hope you enjoyed the sessions as much as the children have enjoyed sharing their learning with you.

Wishing you a safe and restful weekend,

Take care,

Mrs Winter

Headteacher

We will be holding our usual parents evening meetings on the dates above. These will be held via Schoolcloud again as a video call with the teacher(s). Please find attached a parent's guide with the link to book at the top - https://carletonpark.schoolcloud.co.uk

Bookings open at 6pm on Monday 20th January

Once booked you will receive an email with the link for the appointment. You can also use this to amend any bookings.

Please note - the names to enter will need to be exactly the same as the names we hold on the system therefore if 'Jessica' doesn't work 'Jess' will, this also applies to the parent name.

Please see the parent guide sent out on MCAS. If you have any issues booking, please call the office.

Did you know that the NHS Pharmacy First Service enables children and adults to get convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment where appropriate, for seven common conditions without the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment? Accessing the service may mean that can help children feel better and back to school as quickly as possible, as well as supporting parents/carers to also get better if they are unwell with one of the conditions covered under the service.

There is no need to make an appointment; parents or carers can pop into their local Boots pharmacy with their child and ask for help under the service.

Support for the following conditions can be accessed under the service, free of charge (unless NHS prescription charges apply):

The focus for each Headteacher Award throughout the year will be our new school values! The school values are an integral part of what we stand for at Carleton Park and are values that we believe will ensure our children are successful in not just their educational journey but life in general.

The Kindness certificates are awarded to children who have shown kindness and a caring attitude throughout the week. Children are chosen by the Student Council. Well done!
