GDPR
As I am sure you are aware all businesses are required by law to review their data protection regulations, as schools are not exempt from this process, please find attached our revised privacy notice which details how we collect and hold data on your children. Should you require further clarification on this, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Cricket Success
I am delighted to inform you that the Y5 / 6 cricket team participated in the Winsford Cricket tournament on Thursday this week and won all three games against local schools. They will now progress to the area finals later this term.
Year 6 Visit
Children from 19JL visited Gadbrook Park on Thursday of this week. During their visit they had a tour of Barclays and participated in an array of different activities to promote their understanding of staying safe online, and appropriate budgeting. Great fun was had by all! The remainder of the Y6 will visit Gadbrook later in the term.
Classes for 2018 / 19
During the coming weeks we will be starting to place the children into classes for next year. As happened last year we will be mixing the current classes to ensure that we can cater for the needs of individual children to the best of our ability. This process also ensures that we don’t have two / three separate strands going through the school but that the children in each year see themselves as a cohort. As part of the process each child will be asked to list five children who they feel that they work well with, we will then do our best to place them with several from their list. If you could talk to your child during the holidays about friends / children who your child works well with that they may add to their list, we should be grateful.
Residential Visits
During the coming half term we will be distributing letters about the residential visits planned for the coming year. Please note that these will be subsidised in the manner described in my previous newsletter. In addition the new pupil premium reductions will also apply. Should you feel that you are potentially eligible for this please apply by contacting Wyvern House on 0300 123 7039
Your child might be able to get free school meals (and therefore Pupil Premium) if you get any of the following:
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Kind regards
