Review Of The Week 

Welcome back to school and to our final term of the academic year. I hope you all enjoyed a restful half-term break and had the opportunity to make the most of the sunshine and warm weather that many of us were fortunate to experience. It has been wonderful to see the children return refreshed, positive and ready for the exciting weeks ahead.

This term is always a special one, filled with opportunities for learning, celebration and transition. Across the school, children will be preparing for the next stage of their educational journey, whether that is moving to a new year group, a new classroom or, for some of our oldest pupils, a new school. We have a range of exciting events and experiences planned to support these transitions and help every child feel confident and prepared for the future.

Next week is an important one for some of our pupils. Children in Year 1 will be taking part in the Phonics Screening Check. Thank you for your continued support at home. Please continue to practise reading both real and nonsense words with your child, as this will help build their confidence and fluency.

Our Year 2 pupils will also be taking part in assessment week, with a series of quizzes and classroom activities designed to celebrate and assess the progress they have made throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and know they will approach the week with confidence and determination.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support. We look forward to sharing the many successes, memorable moments and exciting transitions that this final term will bring.

Warmest wishes,

Miss Giles

Attendance Communication

We kindly ask all parents and carers to contact the school as early as possible if your child is going to be absent.
You can notify us via: 

• Telephone: 01327 702878 – Office hours are 8am-4pm but leaving a voicemail is an option
• Email: admin@fhis.inmat.org.uk
• Seesaw message: Ideally to Mrs Griffiths or Mrs Orme.

If your child has a medical appointment, please inform the school office in advance.
Where possible, please provide appointment letters, cards, or confirmation messages so we can update our records accurately.

Early communication helps us keep our attendance records accurate and supports the wellbeing of all our students.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Collection of Children at the End of the School Day

To help ensure the safety of all children, parents and carers must inform both the school office and their child's class teacher if someone different will be collecting their child from school.

For added security, parents and carers may provide the school with a password. If an alternative adult is collecting your child, they will be asked to give this password to a member of staff at the door before the child is released into their care.

If the school has not been informed of a change in collection arrangements, or if the correct password cannot be provided when required, staff may need to contact a parent or carer before allowing the child to leave.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep all children safe.

Supervision of Children Between Schools

We would like to remind all parents and carers to remain vigilant and ensure that children are closely supervised when moving between schools on the site.

The driveway and staff car park are active areas used by staff vehicles throughout the day. While every effort is made to maintain a safe environment, these areas can present significant risks to children who are not accompanied by an adult.

Please ensure that children walk with you at all times, use designated pedestrian routes where available, and do not run, play, or cycle through the driveway or car park areas.

By working together and maintaining close supervision, we can help keep all members of our school community safe.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

PTA Volunteer Opportunity – Can You Help at Our Summer Fayre?

We are looking for a family volunteer to join our PTA and support the school at our upcoming Summer Fayre.

This is a small, friendly role open to parents or grandparents of children in the school. The focus will be helping to run a table stall at the fayre, supporting the PTA in creating a fun and successful event for our school community.

The role is entirely voluntary and a great way to get involved, meet other families, and contribute to school life.

If you are interested or would like to find out more, please contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support!

                                                        

School Office Foyer

If you are in the school office foyer, we kindly ask that you do not let other visitors in.

We appreciate the politeness, but this is an important part of keeping everyone safe and maintaining privacy within our school.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
