Dear Parents/Carers of St Cuthbert’s,
Non-uniform Day and Uniform Swap Shop
As shared previously, we will be having a Non-uniform Day on the last day of term. This is so children can come into school in their own clothes and bring with them, any spare uniform items which they don’t need any more. This could be because they have outgrown them or they no longer need them as they are moving to high school. We ask that any items sent in are clean and in a good condition. We would also accept any PE items or shoes trainers which, again, are clean and in a good condition.
We will sort thorough any items donated and they will be laid out in the large hall for parents and carers to browse at the end of the day before children are collected. We are requesting a small donation for each item which will go into our school funds.
Poverty proofing the School Day – No Gifts Sent into School Initiative
Please remember as part of our Poverty Proofing the School Day initiative, we will not be accepting any end of year gifts into school for any of the adults from the children or families.
In agreement with all staff, any gifts which are sent into school will be donated to local charities. Please support St Cuthbert’s and all of our children and families – please do not send any gifts in.
If parents/carers want to express thanks or say goodbye to staff then please send in a card, a letter or an email. This feedback is so valuable to our well-being and has such a positive impact and really is very much appreciated. We will also be providing all of the children with the necessary materials and the opportunity to make a card for any of the adults in school if they wish to do so.
Reception/Year 6 Buddies - No Gifts Sent into School Initiative
Please note, our No Gifts into School Initiative also extends to our children, with particular reference to our Year 6/Reception Buddies. Please do not send or bring any gifts into school to be shared between the children or families on our school premises so that we can ensure no children are left out.
We will be giving all of the Reception and Year 6 children time and resources to make cards for each other before the end of the summer term.
Please contact the school if you wish to discuss any of the above or any other matter.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best wishes,
Mrs Anne Bullerwell
Executive Headteacher
