An Update

The half term has flown by and I am really enjoying being the Head Teacher of this fantastic school. There has been a lot going on and I have appreciated the increased communication I’ve had with parents. We continue to strive to bring excellence for all.

Please find below some messages and updates

Nuts in school

We have seen an increase in children bringing nut based products into school for snacks and lunch. Please can we ask that products containing nuts, such as Nutella, are left at home.

Grapes

Whilst many children enjoy a grape at lunch time, we are seeing whole grapes being sent into school. The hazard of choking on a whole grape is a risk, therefore we ask that grapes are cut up if being brought into school.

Child entertainment and employment

We have been asked to share these links with parents relating to Child Entertainment and Child Employment.  The local authority is aware that not all dance, drama and modelling groups apply for licences/permits and it is usually because they are unaware of the legislation.  They are hoping if they can get the information to parents you will ask the questions that are needed of these groups.

The link to the new parent information is https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/16657/Overview

The link to Child Employment is https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/2879/Child-employment-laws

The link to Child Licencing for Entertainment is https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/2881/Children-in-entertainment the link for parents is also within the body of this page on our website.

Many thanks for your support

Mr Bennett

Head Teacher
