Thank you to the parents who came to the training session. We learnt how to use the Defib and is was great watching the children have a go at CPR. The Defib is now in school and here should we ever need to use it, thanks again for the superb effort to raise the funds for this.

Our new school

Mon 10 Oct 2016 Mr Skinner

You will have heard by now that due to planning applications for the three new primary schools, the opening of our new school building will be delayed until Easter, 2018. The planning process is due to be completed by January and the builders will be on site from next February or March. They anticipate a 52 week build.

Another complication may be the objections to the plans that our local Councillors are looking to put in with local residents about access to the new school when it is full. This may delay the planning process further.

We will keep you updated.

Lining Up

Sat 03 Sep 2016 Miss Williams

Dear Parents / Carers,

We are very much looking forward to our second year at Howardian. We are excited to see the children next week and we have decided to make some improvements to the way we greet the children each morning.

The bell will ring at 9am and we will now be lining the children up on the playground before they enter school. The teachers will be stood on the playground and children are asked to say goodbye to their parents/carers and line up with their class.

Parents/Carers are requested not to line up with the children but to say goodbye and then stand behind the children. This will allow the teacher to greet the class and then safely lead them into school.

At the end of school the children will be dismissed through 3 doors.

Hall door: Miss Smith and Miss Smart

Main door: Nursery (3.10pm) and Miss Griffiths

Door next to main door: Miss Williams.

Could we please request that parents/carers stand away from the doors to allow staff to clearly be able to see parents and also watch as each child gets safely to their parent / carer.

If you need to see Mrs Curran in the office could you please allow the children to go Into school first to ensure they are all in the building safely.

A reminder that children and parents/carers are not to ride bikes or scooters inside the playground.

The safety of the children is paramount and these changes will help us ensure children are safe.

Many Thanks,

Howardian Primary Staff
