| Harvest is a special time to think about where the food we eat comes from and to be thankful. This year, we would like to support Carriers of Hope, a Coventry charity which provides a warm welcome, practical support and care to asylum seekers, refugees and migrant families through their partnership with The Worldfoods Food hub. On Friday 14th November we would like to invite the children to make a small donation to the Food hub of any of these items: tinned tomatoes, sardines/mackerel in oil, breakfast cereal, biscuits, honey/chocolate spread or hot chocolate (no soup please). Boxes will be available by the Sensory Garden for children to deposit their donations on their way into school. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity with our Harvest collection |
In response to new government guidance we are currently
reviewing our Attendance Policy. The new guidance stresses
the importance of good attendance for all children to support their attainment, wellbeing and wider life chances.
When a child’s attendance falls below 90% this is a cause for
concern for schools and local authorities– 10% absence
equates to a child being absent for 1 day or more a fortnight
across a full school year. Please note that the new DfE guidance also states that leave of absence should only be granted in exceptional circumstances, and as such, in line with our current Attendance Policy, leave of absence will not be granted for the purpose of a family holiday. (Each application for leave of absence will be considered individually.)

Spruce up Our Streets
22nd/ 23rd October- A date for your diary
Last year South Earlsdon Neighbours Association identified a weekend when we could devote some time for caring for our local area. You may remember how many of our friends and neighbours took the opportunity to ‘Spruce up their Street’.
We would like to repeat this enterprise and informally invite individuals and community groups from the wider Earlsdon area to join this initiative. The idea is to set aside the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of October to focus on activities such as hedge trimming, car washing, litter picking, kerb and gutter clearing, bulb planting, branch trimming etc… any activity that spruces up your own street and gives everyone the chance for a neighbourly chat and perhaps an opportunity to lend a neighbourly hand. We will be posting photos of ‘sprucing’ activities on our SENA Facebook page that weekend so do join in and let us know what you are up to.

If your child does not already have a school lunch on Thursday and you would like them to enjoy the Italian themed day, they can place their order on the day, at registration. If you pay for your child’s school meals, the cost is £2.15 which can be paid via Schoolcomms. |
