Mudeford Junior School

Dear Parent/Carer,                                                                                                         19 June 2023

 

Open Evening

There will be an informal open evening for all year groups on Tuesday 27 June between 5.00 and 6.30pm.  This is an opportunity for children to bring their parents in to school to look through their work.  Teachers will be in attendance.  There is no need to book an appointment.

 

SAT Tests / End of Year Reports

Year 6 children have completed their SAT tests.  We are very proud of how hard the children have worked. Their results, alongside the end of year report, will be sent out in July.

SAT tests for Year 6 in 2024 will take place during the week beginning 13 May 2024.

End of Year Reports for all other year groups will be sent out in July with the names of their new teacher for academic year 2023 – 2024.

 

Year 6 Residential Trip

The year 6 residential trip to Osmington Bay took place on Friday 7 June – Monday 10 June and was a great success, enjoyed by all the children and accompanying staff.

The residential trip for 2024 has been booked for Friday 7 June –  Monday 10 June 2024. Mr Goodlet has already sent out information.  The deposit of £80 for our present Year 5 children is due by Monday 3 July.

 

Year 6 Transition Day

Transition day for all year 6 children will be on Friday 30 June. Children will be visiting their new secondary schools on this day.  Parents will need to arrange transport for their own child

 

Sun Protection

The  warmer weather has arrived, we are concerned that the children have adequate protection from the sun especially during the long lunch break.  Could you please send the children to school with:

 Sun cream                            Hat                                       Water bottle

We will allow the children to have a drink as often as they need it.  Thank you for your support.

 

Wraparound care

The school have continued to actively seek an OFSTED registered provider to offer before school (7.45 – 8.45am) and after school (3.15-6.00pm) care.  The Governors of the school would welcome any approach from a provider who can offer this facility. Historically this provision has been subsidised by the school to help facilitate wraparound care.

 

Holidays in Term Time 

Government legislation makes it clear that headteachers may not grant any leave of absence during term times unless there are exceptional circumstances.  It is extremely unlikely that time out of school for a holiday will be considered exceptional circumstances.  As a school we are committed to ensuring that pupils miss as little time as possible.
