Thank you to Sainsbury's Canley store for their kind donation towards making our school greener. The voucher was used to buy lots of bulbs which gardening club enjoyed planting this afternoon and we are looking forward to seeing some beautiful flowers in the spring.
We started our ThinkActive boccia project on National Boccia Day this week. Pupils in Year 5 have started to learn the rules of
this exciting sport. Eventually we will be inviting
senior citizens from our community to join our
boccia sessions and have a cup of tea with us.
We are delighted that Sport England have funded this intergenerational sport project.
| As part of our Harvest celebrations this year we will be fundraising for the Carriers of Hope Charity to support families who have recently arrived in Coventry.We will be having a non uni form day on Thursday 21st October– more information will follow shortly |
Unfortunately we are not yet able to welcome parents into school and as a result the Spring term parents
consultations will take place over the phone rather than face to face. These telephone meetings for the
children in year 1– year 6 are planned over two weeks: 11th October—21st October. The Reception parent
/ teacher meetings will take place in November and the dates and more information will be sent to parents
later this half term.
The school office will send out an email next week inviting you to book an appointment using the online
booking system. Appointments will last 10 minutes and class teachers will be calling parents from a mobile
phone which may register on your screen as an unknown number– please look out for this around the time
of your appointment. The meetings will focus on how well your child/ children have settled into their new
classes this term and will also provide the opportunity for you to ask questions or clarify anything you are
unsure of.
Applications for children starting primary school in September 2022 have also opened. The closing date for applications is 15th January 2022. Parents are asked to apply on line at www.coventry.gov.uk/schooladmissions
We will be holding two parents meetings to provide more information about our school. The
dates of the meeting are Thursday 14th October and Tuesday 9th November. Please email
admin@earlsdon.coventry.sch.uk to register your interest and we will then send parents a
Microsoft Teams invite.
Please tell your friends and family members if they have a child who will be starting primary
school next September.
The application process for secondary school places has opened. Parents of Year 6 children can
apply on line at: www.coventry.gov.uk/schooladmissions
The closing date for applications is 31st October 2021.
Please contact the school office if you require any support with this process.
Year 5 and 6 were very lucky to have been able to take part in a touring show as part of Coventry City of Culture called Plot 17.
Plot 17 is a production by Apples & Snakes and is a hip-hop garden show hosted by underground hip-hop hero Kenny Baraka AKA The Green Man and DJ Conrad Kira. The children enjoyed dancing and rapping along with Kenny as they worked to save the environment one track at a time.
Thank you for your patience as we try to improve and embed the current routines.
We would like to thank parents for waiting patiently in the local area before the school gate opens and remind
the small minority of parents who aren’t following the routines, to be respectful of others and wait until it is their
turn to enter the school site. We recognise that the site is very busy at the end of the day and that parents are
being very supportive and respectful of the current routines and others within our school community– thank you
for your understanding.
Morning routines
We will continue to open the gate at 8.40am so the children can wait on the path rather than on the street
outside school.
At 8.45am the children will start to go into school and parents should continue to walk around the school
building exiting through the car park. The gate will close at 9am.
Routines at the end of the day
At 3.05pm we will open the gate and ask parents of Reception children to queue next to the school building.
Parents of Year 1 and Year 2 children should queue next to the school fence and collect their children from
the playground.
Children from Year 3– Year 5 should be collected from the playground at 3.15pm.
Please help us by collecting your child/ children and leaving the site promptly, following the one way system.
If you have collected a younger child and are waiting to collect a child from Key Stage 2, please stand close to
the school building so that the walkway around school remains as clear as possible.
We continue to follow the LA and Public Health England advice and ask that parents help to keep our school community safe by wearing a face covering on the school site. Thank you for your ongoing support
