Primary Newsletter – Friday 14th September 2018
WELCOME
We welcome our new reception class who are now all in school and settling in really well. Children will begin their first full day on Monday. Parents, carers and families of our new reception children are invited to a special welcome assembly on Friday 28th September. We hope to see you all there.
MCMILLAN COFFEE MORNING
We are once again hosting our annual coffee morning to raise
money for McMillan. This will be held on the morning of Friday
28th September and parents, carers and families will be invited,
then the whole of the primary phase will get the opportunity to
join in after. Any donations on the day of home made or shop
bought cakes would be most welcome.
GRAMMAR +, SPORTS AND MEDIA SCHOLARSHIPS
A reminder for our year 6 children that the deadline for our brand new pathways are fast approaching. If you would like your child to be considered for the Grammar +, Sports or Media scholarships we must receive your supplementary forms no later than Friday 5th October.
Spaces are filling up fast!
We will of course give priority to our current year 6 SMA pupils over pupils from other schools. If you think your child is academically gifted or talented in any of these areas please check under the admissions tab on the website for more information.

UNIFORM
Many thanks to those parents and carers who ensure their child attends school every day in the correct uniform. Please be reminded of the following:
The yellow polo shirts need to be bought from the school shop and they must have the school logo on.
Plain black shoes or boots are permitted. Boots are not allowed.
Coats and jackets can only be navy blue or black.
Class teachers will continue to monitor children who come into school with the incorrect uniform.

GOLDEN TABLE WINNERS
Well done to the ‘Golden Table’
winners this week who displayed
excellent manners in school.
GOSPEL CORNER
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus asks His disciples the question: “Who do you say that I am?” Although the crowds that have seen or heard Jesus are not sure who He may be, St. Peter identifies Jesus as the Christ, “the anointed one.” It is good for us to know multiple names and titles for Christ, but we must also know about Him as well as His mission. In this way, we can tell and teach others about Jesus Christ.
