March Newsletter - Easter Trail
Wed 22 Mar 2023Wednesday 22nd March 2023
Dear Parent’s/Carers,
As the term draws to a close, here are just a few pieces of information for next week and the Easter Holidays.
Next week we are holding our Holy Trail. This will be held on Wednesday 29th March. This year our Year 6 pupils, with the help of the local community, will be leading each scene depicting the last few days of Jesus’ life. Each year group will start the trail at a different time. Please note children in the mixed Y3/4 classes will take part as a single year group not combined (see below). The whole school will then join together for a short Easter Service at 11.45am. If you would like to join your child’s class on the trail, simply come in to school for the appropriate time or if you would like to join us for just the service please arrive for 11.45am.
PLEASE NOTE Reception Children will not be taking part in The Holy Trail.

During the Easter Holidays the Council will be again running Holiday activities and providing food for those children in receipt of Free School Meals. For more information and eligibility please call 0191 424 0118 or email haf@southtyneside.gov.uk
It has as always been a busy term there have been lots of in school activities such as Science workshops, Architects visiting Year 5, Year 6 meeting a mountaineer, an author visiting Year 3/4 and a Victorian workshop for Year 2 amongst others. Before the end of the term Year 2 will be visiting the Winter Gardens and Reception The Great North Museum. Next term is already starting to fill up as we already have organised a trip to the Discovery Museum for Year 1 and visit to the Great North Museum for Y3/4.
Thank you to all of those parents who took part in our recent Parent/Teacher Discussions. If you missed your call please do not hesitate to get in touch to rearrange. As a follow up we will soon be conducting a Parent Survey to gain your views about our school. Please watch out for a text containing a link.
Can I also say a big thank you to your donations for the Comic Relief Appeal. We raised
£231 in support of the appeal.
Finally, if you wish your child to have milk next term payments can be taken now, the cost for the full term is £9.10. Please note that all payments must be made by Tuesday 2nd May.
I hope you all have a lovely Easter break and look forward to seeing you after the holidays.

Strike information
Wed 08 Mar 2023Dear Parents/Carers,
Further to the information you received last term regarding NEU Strike Action I am writing to inform you of the arrangements for the next NEU strike days on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th March. As I informed you previously the strike is happening due to a national dispute between the unions and the government.
I’m getting in touch to give you as much notice as possible about our arrangements for 15th and 16th March. Teaching staff are not all members of the same union, therefore, I must inform you that school will be closed for children who are in the following classes:
Y2 Mrs Watson
Y3/4S
Y3/4M
Y5G
Please Note Year 6 will be attending school as usual.
Please note the 100% attendance of any child in any of the above classes will not be affected by not being in school that day.
If your child is not in any of the above classes they will attend school as usual. Breakfast Club and After School Clubs will also run as usual for all children who can attend school.
Remote Learning- The children have a number of passwords for a variety of programmes, such as Times Table Rockstars and Reading Plus, we would be very grateful if you could encourage them to log onto them during the day.
If your child is entitled to a to Benefit Related Free School Meal, packed lunches will be available to be picked up from the school office at 12 o’ clock on the day of the strike. However, I am sure you will understand that they must be ordered so if you would a like a lunch provided for your child please complete and return the form below by Monday 13th March.
I’m sorry that you will have to make alternative arrangements for your child at short notice, and that they will experience disruption to their education. I understand that this situation may be frustrating, and ask that all members of our school community continue to treat each other with respect. We are working closely with our staff union representatives to keep up to date with the situation, and I will inform you as soon as possible if arrangements change further.
If you have any questions, please contact the office or send an email to the address listed at the top of this letter.
Kind regards,
Mrs McBeth
