Headteacher – Mrs Ann Herridge B.Ed (Hons)Email office@cheselbourne.dorset.sch.uk Info from Newsletter sent on 7 th January 2010 Happy New Year It is great to see everyone back although a number of you have been poorly over the Christmas holidays. We have had emails from County re the flu problems, especially involving children, so do take care and call for medical assurance if you see any signs. As most of you are aware I have a broken arm but my husband is driving me in so I am in school. I feel immensely blessed that my accident happened within the Cheselbourne boundaries as the community came out to support me, drive me to hospital and my car home on a night when no one should have been out at all. Huge ‘Thank yous’ to the Waddells and Warrens who did the AA and ambulance work!!

Please do pop in and have a look to see if any of it belongs to your family. I know this is particularly difficult for our ‘bus’ families. The clothes are really good quality! Please also make sure that everything is named as this helps to track down mislaid items.

Headteacher – Mrs Ann Herridge B.Ed (Hons)Email office@cheselbourne.dorset.sch.uk Info from Newsletter sent on 7 th January 2010 Hot School Meals We have had a letter from Cygnet during the last week of term stating that if meals are cancelled ‘on the day’ due to bad weather the company are unable to refund the money as they will have prepared the meals already. This is to inform you that this will be happening from now on, it doesn’t affect last term’s payments. Unfortunately closing the school at short notice is sometimes unavoidable.

Recently I found similar information given to me on a child protection course extremely useful. It was an eye opener and time spent learning about cyber safety to protect your child/ren would be well spent.
