We are holding our next parent and teacher meetings next week, on Wednesday, 8th February and Thursday, 9th February.

A letter will go home this week for the children in the older classes asking you to sign up for an appointment. The younger children will have a ‘sign-up sheet’ outside their classroom.

We look forward to seeing you all.

End of Term

Next week is also the last week of Term 3. Please remember to collect children from classes at 1.15. I hope everyone has a good break; this term seems to have gone really quickly!

Home/School Communications

Just a reminder that you can receive this newsletter by email; just let me know your email address by emailing me at head@bryanston.net. The newsletters are also uploaded to our website, where there is a substantial archive of newsletters from previous years (should you want to know what we were up to in July 2010!)

There’s also an RSS link on our website that delivers our news. You can subscribe to it by following the link. There is (or soon will be!) another link that takes you to that News website:

This is a new development so please be patient if it’s not entirely up to speed yet. Let us know if you’re having trouble viewing it or if you have any ideas about how we can develop this facility to get information to you.

Half Term Building Work

We’ve got lots happening in school over half term.

Hopefully, the work at the playground entrance will be completed - or almost completed. The soil and plants have been put aside and the contractors are sorting out the drainage before a new surface (more interesting than tarmac!) is laid.

The floor of our school hall is also being sanded and re-sealed; it should be lovely when it’s finished. 

We’re also hoping to install another CCTV camera to cover the entrance into the building beside the music room. We installed one to cover the entrance by Year 4’s classroom in December. This means that all entrances to our building will be covered by CCTV.
