Keep up to date with all of the latest happenings at Battling Brook.
Dear Parents/Carers,
We hope that you are well. As we approach the end of what has been the most difficult and unusual academic year we have known, we wish to thank you once again for all your support, encouragement and flexibility.
An email has been sent home today to the parents of children returning to school in Reception, Year1 and Year 6. If you have not received this email and are expecting your child to return, please get in touch with the school office.
On the 14th May, we wrote to inform you that we were in the process of planning for potential reopening for certain year groups soon after half-term. Since that time, we have been assessing risks and preparing for a smooth phased reopening.
Please note that we have recently emailed all parents of our new intake children (children due to start in September 2020). If you haven't yet received your email, please check your spam/junk folder. If you are still unable to access it, please contact the school office to check that we have the correct contact details. A copy of the email is attached below for your reference.
Dear Parent/Carer
We are pleased to say that we now have the guidance relating to maintaining educational provision at this time. A link to the guidance is attached for your reference.
The overriding message is that the government has asked parents to keep their children at home, wherever possible; this is to heavily reduce the number of children in schools in order to limit the spread of the virus and both support and maximise the capacity of our NHS.
We will increasingly be using email as a way of communicating information to parents. Therefore please, please, please ensure that your current email address is registered and verified with Parentpay and or the ParentLite App* in order that you do not miss relevant and useful information from school.
A recent police visit to the school highlighted problems that local residents were experiencing with repeated incidents of inconsiderate parking, particularly along Frederick Avenue.
ParentPay has been in use at Battling Brook for a few years now and has proved to be easy to use and beneficial to the vast majority of our parents/carers. Thank you to all who ensure that their child’s account always remains in credit by making regular top-ups on line to pay for both school lunches and visits/activities.
Do you claim any of the following?
If so, you may be entitled to Pupil Premium which is so much more than a free school meal!
For some time now, class teachers have been setting work for children to begin as soon as they come into school at the first, 8.45am bell. The vast majority of our children arrive early enough to begin their lessons at this time.
It has become clear that the recent legislation relating to absence from school for family holidays during term time has been misinterpreted by many schools.
