Dear Families,

Thank you for ensuring your child is punctual for  the school day which supports a strong start to the school day leading to continued success in Term 2. As the weather starts to get colder please make sure your child comes into school with a waterproof coat and is wearing the correct winter uniform. We want to encourage the children to be comfortable when playing outside as much as possible. 

I was delighted to meet with the Parent Representatives earlier in the Term. It was a very productive meeting and I believe we will continue to grow stronger together.

Next Friday 29^th November we will be celebrating the Christmas Fayre                   co-ordinated by the Friends of St John's.  We are thrilled that the school has sourced a real Christmas Tree from Mole Valley Farmers which will be arriving     before the  Fayre and we will mark the Christmas Tree light switch during that evening. Every child in the school will be allocated a free raffle ticket - the winning raffle ticket will be drawn by Father Christmas at approximately 5.30pm - the      winning raffle ticket owner will then be invited to switch on the St John's Christmas lights! It will be a wonderful community celebration - please encourage family and friends to come along!

Mr Smith's funeral will be held on Saturday 23rd November at West Wiltshire Crematorium. Please find the link below if you wish to join the service:

We of course keep Mrs Smith and all the family in our prayers at this time. We are very touched by the cards and words of support families have generously  offered to the staff team.  

Please ensure you have noted key dates for your diary for the Term ahead, we are looking forward to so many exciting events during Advent and the Christmas     Season.

With best wishes,

Mrs K O'Rourke

Head Teacher
