Dear Families,

Wow, it's already week 5! This half-term is flying by. I’d like to extend a big thank you to those families who attended the phonics workshops—your engagement is always appreciated.

As mentioned in previous communications, we asked you to ‘save the date’ for our new-look Parents’ Evening. I am excited to announce that it will now be known as our Family Engagement Evening, taking place on Wednesday, 20th November 2024, between 3:30pm and 6:30 pm.

This event will be a fantastic opportunity for you to meet with your child’s class teacher, take a look at their books and enjoy some exciting new additions, including our Family Refreshments, a Tuck Shop with a twist and an Art Gallery showcasing our children's creative work.

You will receive a letter shortly with further details; including how and when to book in using our SchooCloud system.

School Uniform Reminder

At Temple Meadow, all children wear school uniform as this creates a sense of belonging and school pride.

Please see below a reminder of our uniform expectations:

Children should not wear jewellery to school (with the exception of one pair of stud earrings) for obvious safety reasons and no jewellery can be worn for any session of P.E. (stud earrings need to be removed by the child prior to any PE activity).

Mobile phones, smart technology and other non-essential items are not allowed in school. Year 6 children who walk home from school are allowed to bring their phone into school. Phones will be stored safely in the School Office until the end of the school day.

We actively encourage all children to tie their hair back (where long enough to do so). There are many reasons for this, including health and safety, hygiene, focus and learning, uniformity and practicality. All hair accessories should be appropriate for school and not overly decorative.
