September 2015 Issue 2

Open afternoon

We will be having our first open afternoon on Thursday the 24th September 2015. This will run from 2-3pm and we hope that you as parents and carers can manage in for some time to visit your child’s class. During that time your child will be engaged in learning in class and the teacher will be teaching, therefore it will not be a meeting with the teacher, simply an opportunity to see your child in their classroom environment. Your child may have the chance to show you some of their great work and talk you through important aspects of their school development. Continue reading “September 2015 Issue 2 Newsletter”

August Newsletter

Welcome back! It is lovely to see all pupils and parents back around school again as we start a very busy and exciting new session. I hope you all had a smooth and restful summer break – despite the weather being a little poor at times! At this time of year there are lots of pieces of information to give you and as always, if you wish to discuss any matter arising, do not hesitate to contact me.

Teacher Drop in

We understand that as your child/children progress onto their next stage in learning with new classes and teachers there may be issues that ‘crop up’ in conversation at home. This session we will be having teacher drop in sessions on 31st August, 1st September and 2nd September in order for you to raise any matters arising, or simply to talk through general concerns regarding your child. This is an optional opportunity and teachers are not ‘requesting’ to see any particular parents/carers at this stage and it will not be a report giving session. It is a chance for you to have an informal access to your child’s teacher should you feel this is needed. These sessions will run on the above dates from 3-3.45pm.

June Newsletter

I am delighted to be bringing you my first newsletter during my time here in Royston. My name is Mrs Jane McShane and, as I’m sure you know, I have taken up the position of acting head teacher for the time being. I’m not sure of the time frame for this but I am enjoying being here very much. My background is in primary and I have been a depute head teacher for a number of years. I am very keen to get to know as many people as possible in my time here so please do come and chat with me or indeed come into school and discuss any concerns you may have.

Staffing

It appears that staffing for next session is almost finalised. We will be very sad to say good bye and good luck to Mrs McGinley as she goes on to new and exciting things. We are also sad to be saying good bye and good luck to Miss Mitchell who has been allocated to Royston Primary for her probationary year. Both members of staff have worked extremely hard for the pupils and school community and we will miss them.

We are however delighted to be keeping Miss Laird who has been with us as a cover teacher. Miss Laird will be permanent to Royston Primary as of next session 2015/16.

We will also be welcoming a probationer teacher who has been allocated to the school for one year. We do not know who this person is at present but should find out very soon.

I will shortly write out to you to let you know your child’s next class teacher. We will be having a transition afternoon for all pupils on 17th June. This will be an opportunity for your child to work with their new class teacher. Continue reading “June Newsletter”

April Newsletter

Dear Parent/Carer

We have finally arrived in the last term and the weeks are becoming increasingly busy as we head to the end of this school year. For some of our pupils, this will be their last term in Royston Primary and for some staff, the same situation arises, as they move on to pastures new. I’m sure that this term will be filled with many exciting things to help make great memories of Royston Primary.

Parent CouncilYour Parent Council are busy putting plans in place for a Spring/ Summer Fayre to help raise some funds for the school. The date for this is Friday 12th June. This event will take place on the afternoon, with more information coming from the Parent Council in the coming weeks. Please put this date in the calendar, allowing you to come along and support the work for your children. As mentioned in previous letters, the Parent Council have been working to make improvements to the playgrounds, both front and back. You should hopefully see some work beginning in the coming weeks for this too.
