Dear Parents / Carers,

Please can the school office have forms containing contact details as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I have received a complaint from a resident on St Nicholas’ Park that parents/carers were parking on the road this morning.  There is now a no parking enforcement on this road from 8am to 5pm.  The resident has images of cars parked this morning and can send them to traffic enforcement.

For the safety of our children can we please ask that all parents and carers respect road markings around our school.  There should be no parking on double yellow lines and no stopping on the yellow zig zags.

Telford and Wrekin Highways amended road markings on Avenue Road and St Nicholas’ Park over the summer so please do take notice of these.  They also removed the previous barrier and replaced it with new bollards.

There is now a no parking restriction on St Nicholas’ Park between 8am and 5pm which I understand to be enforceable.  Residents are very likely to report parking in this area between these times, please be aware of this.

We promote walking/scooting/cycling to school as ideal where possible.  This is great for the physical health of our children and eases congestion and reduces pollution.

We do understand some families live too far away to walk and in this case we ask that parents/carers use local car parks (Specsavers, Shuker Field, B&M etc.) and walk from there.

We thank you for your support for the safety of our children.

We still have a few days left but hope you all have had a great Summer break 🙂

We are looking forward to seeing the children on Wednesday 6th September.

Autumn Term clubs will commence the week beginning 25th September.

Once we return we will circulate the programme of clubs available this term for you to sign up on Parent Pay.

The menu for school meals can be found here:

Unless your child is in receipt of Free School Meals a meal is charged at £2.50.  (Please can we remind Year 3 families that unless you are in receipt of Free School Meals that Universal Free School Meals do not apply in Key Stage 2 and you will be expected to pay for school meals.  If you think you may be entitled to Free School Meals we encourage you to apply here: https://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20028/school_meals/9/free_school_meals/3

Payment for school meals is to be made online on Parent Pay.  Parents of children in Years 4, 5 and 6 have active Parent Pay accounts that they can use immediately.

Parents of children in Year 3: we aim to have your account activation letters to you as soon as possible, in the meantime your child can of course have a school meal and the charge will be on your Parent Pay account when you get your activation letter.

Hot meals can be ordered on the day.

If your child would like a Grab and Go option (sandwich) then a form needs to be completed and returned to school by the Thursday for an order for the following week.  Forms will be circulated next week.

Of course your child is also welcome to bring a packed lunch to school: these will be stored on lunchbox trolleys.  Please ensure your child’s lunchbox is clearly named and ensure they bring it home each evening!  Ideas for healthy lunchboxes can be found here: https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/
