You will be able to book your appointment on line to see your child’s teacher in school - Parents' Evening on Tuesday 6 February and Thursday 8 February 16:00 – 19:00 hrs. This is an important evening which provides you with an opportunity to discuss your child's progress.
The school continues to use an online appointment booking system for your meeting. It allows you to choose your own appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming your appointment.
Appointments can be made from Monday 29 January at 19:00 hours and will close at 15:00 hours on Monday 5 February. Please visit https://mudefordjunior.schoolcloud.co.uk/ to book your appointments.
Please note that due to Parents’ Evenings there will be no teacher run clubs during the week beginning Monday 5th February.
Parent’s First Aid
During this academic year, some of our children have had First Aid Training with Kavita Butler from Mini First Aid. The children learnt so much and the session provided them with invaluable lifesaving skills.
We are keen to equip as many people as possible with these skills and therefore have decided to offer a First Aid session for parents, which will be FREE and available on a first come first served basis. There will be two sessions and these will take place in school on Friday 9th February from 9:15am-11:15am (session 1) and 11:30-1:30 (session 2). The sessions will be led by Kavita Butler.
To book your free place, please email the school office office@mudefordjs.co.uk with the subject First Aid and which session you would like to sign up for. There are very limited spaces so it will be offered on a first come first served basis and we will let you know either way if you have secured a place.
Friday Morning Cardio Tennis, Health and Wellbeing Session for Parents
Due to popular demand Cardio tennis for all parents will continue throughout the spring term – Friday mornings 8.50am – 10am. All Parents of Mudeford Junior School children are welcome, no booking necessary. Just turn up on the day! Ally and Adam will be offering a fun morning of cardio tennis, fitness and fun for parents. Enjoy a morning of great activities, in a fun, friendly environment, all abilities welcome for an inclusive session. These sessions will be FREE of charge.
Children’s Mental Health Week
Next week (5th-9th February) is Children’s Mental Health Week. The children will have an assembly during the week about this year’s theme- My Voice Matters.
Mufti Day
On Friday 9th February all children can come in mufti. We are asking for a suggested donation of £1 which will go directly towards working with a local charity, who will run specialist workshops to support children at our school to improve their mental health.
