Dinner money - please make sure you child's dinner money is in a sealed envelope with their name, the amount enclosed and class clearly shown. We accept cash or cheque. Cheques for dinner money should be made payable to Rotherham Borough Council. We accept payments in advance for a week, month, half term or full term.
Please note that dinner money is £8.25 per week, whilst we appreciate payment we do not keep a large amount of change on premises so if you send a ten or twenty pound note we cannot guarantee the immediate return of any money owing.
Thank you!!!
Unfortunately we have to ask you not to bring dogs onto school premises. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
We are looking for members of the newly formed PTA - anyone who is interested can see Ms Howard for more details!!!
Now that the weather has turned colder can you please make sure your child brings a coat to school. Playtimes can be very cold!
Please can you inform school on the first morning of any absence. If your child arrives late please ask them to go to the office so they can be marked present - if they don't they may be marked as absent and an unauthorised absence recorded. Thankyou!!
There are places for violin, cello, guitar, clarinet and flute tuition. If your child is interesteed please call into the office for a letter. The cost of music tuition is £37.50 per half term.
Literacy Come and see what we do in school... Please keep an eye out for dates of workshops for parents and carers. We are very keen to share with you the way your child is taught and the methods we use in school to make sure every child makes progress in reading and writing. The workshops will take place in the evening and share with you some of the teaching methods used as well as give you practical advice for helping your child at home. We will also be inviting parents and carers to come and see literacy lessons in action. A letter will be sent home soon. In the meantime, if you need any ideas, resources or information regarding literacy in school please see Mr. French, submit an enquiry using the link to your left or e mail Mr French at apjafrench@rgfl.org
At the bottom of this page you can find two documents - one is list of prompts you may want to use when listening to your child read at home. They are good discussion starters and focus the children's minds on the kinds of skills they should be developing as successful readers. This will be updated soon to make it more useful! The other is a leaflet giving you ideas about how to help your child improve their writing skills.
