Dear Family I am please to announce the appointment of Miss Rowena Lumbar our new Deputy Headteacher and Ms Kenwright our new Music Instructor. Both Miss Lumbar and Ms Kenwright will take up their new appointments at the beginning of the Autumn term. Miss Lumbar will work in partnership with the Senior Leadership Team make Woodlands Junior School a school of excellence. Ms Kenwright will take responsibility for the teaching of Music throughout the school. She will also develop our own mini orchestra and school choir. I know you will join me welcoming both Miss Lumbar and Ms Kenwright to our school team. May I take this opportunity to wish you an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend. Diary Dates Monday 14th May – SAT Week Monday 14th May – Assessment Week Friday 1st June – Queen’s Jubilee Behaviour Some parents are raising concerns about change of some teaching staff. It is of upmost importance that parents discipline their children so that they come to school ready to learn. It is not school’s responsibility to discipline your child. It is the school’s responsibility of care to work in partnership with parents to build upon good behaviour strategies you have instilled in your child. In order to secure outstanding teachers children in Woodlands Junior School need to be disciplined by their parents and show respect for themselves and all adults that serve them and understand the importance of learning from home. Until all children at Woodlands Junior School have that encouragement from their parents quality teachers will choose to leave and go to another school where they can practice the skill of teaching and learning rather than spend their time controlling undisciplined children. School Property Since September all classrooms have been refurnished and by the end of this academic year all classrooms will be decorated, including new blinds and flooring. Please note that parents of any children who cause damage to school property will be charged to replace these damaged items, including furnishing as well as educational resources. I thank you in advance for your full cooperation in this matter. School Dinners Commencing from Tuesday 8th May, 2012 to Friday 1st June, 2012 your child may change arrangements for dinners on a weekly basis. This means on Fridays you must put in writing if you wish your child to have packed lunch or school dinner for the following week. You must include in this letter £9.95 for five days at £1.99 per day. Please note if you do not give the money in advance your child will not be allowed school dinner and you will be notified of this by close of business on Friday afternoon. If you do not wish to change arrangements then there is no need to send a letter and you can pay dinner money on Monday. Activity Area Please note children are only allowed in the activity area during the school day where they are supervised by a member of staff. On no account should any child be on the apparatus before or after school. Parking It has come to our attention that some parents are using the staff car park. On no account are parents permitted to use the staff car park as this is a safety hazard. Should an incident occur where a child needs medical attention your vehicle could prevent the emergency services from entering the car park.

Bags Please note that children must be provided with a school book bag to carry their homework and reading books. PE clothing should be put in a uniform P.E. bag (drawstring) which can be purchased from Rupens. As you can appreciate we are unable to accommodate large bags and currently some of the bags children are bringing to school are presenting us with huge health and safety issues. For this reason children are not allowed to bring any other bags to school apart from their school book bag and school PE bag.
