Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
The White Hall group is now closed/full. 54 pupils are attending, as I have been able to extend our allocation of spaces.
Please check your child is listed - the last update of group participants has just been made today.
Mr Badwal is adding everyone to the parent pay system to allow for electronic transfer of funds should you choose. Alternatively, send cash in a named envelope.
The next meeting will be in April to discuss packing requirements, the timetable. medication and any other questions.
TTRS Rockstar Day - After a phenomenal day last year, Harrington is happy to announce that we are taking part in NSPCC Rocks again this year on Friday 6th February.
To make the day even more exciting, children are invited to dress up as their favourite music stars or character! We kindly ask that costumes are age appropriate, ensuring children feel comfortable and ready to learn throughout the day. Children are also welcome to wear wigs and use coloured hairspray to complete their look. Please do not bring in real instruments.
More information will go out on a letter on Monday.
We have now set up a dojo group for White Hall. All pupils contained in this group have secured a place at White Hall.
Payments can begin to be made either in cash or via Parent Pay, with payment instalment dates set for 1st of the month starting 1st February.
Mr Badwal will be sending details to you.
I have posted work onto the website for families who wish to access it due to the school closure today.
Please log on to www.harringtonjuniorschool.co,uk. Click the orange tab entitled 'Children' and scroll to Class pages.
Scroll down 4 sections and you will find Winter Weather School Closures. There's plenty to choose from, more than enough for one day.
Please note: there is no obligation to complete.
As you will be aware, the Met Office have given an amber weather warning for the Midlands for Thu-Fri this week due to the heavy snow forecast and freezing temperatures.
Whilst we make every effort to remain open during snow, we also need to ensure it is safe for pupils and staff to access the site. Considerations are many, not just how much snow has fallen - safe travel for all, safe access, sufficient adult ratios for health and safety, surface conditions (ice), functioning kitchen with staff, ambient temperature (it has to feel considerably colder with the wind chill factor) etc. The site may look safe but may actually be full of black ice. Any decision made will be on the conditions at the time of assessment – we are unable to predict what conditions may be like further into the day.
Conditions will be assessed on Friday morning, with a joint decision taken by 7:00a.m by Mrs Wilmot and Mrs Callaghan from Parklands. Please be aware, this will also impact upon any Premier Wrap-Around Care bookings.
We will continue to monitor conditions for early next week, as we have the forecast of a second potential wave of extreme weather (but hopefully to be a lesser degree).
Please note, if the schools are open, the expectation is for all pupils to attend.
Good afternoon and Happy New Year to you all!
Despite being a chilly first day back, we have all settled back in to the routines of school life. Our focus this term will be be working to be motivated to achieve our targets and goals, whether academic, social or personal.
The teachers have been planning the new topics and we are working on providing more creative opportunities for learning. Please look out for information regarding after school clubs and events - posted soon on the dojo.
If you have changed your mobile phone over the holiday, please update us of any change of numbers as we are currently updating our pupil records. Tomorrow has to be another cold one and could be icy - please ensure your child has a warm coat, hat and gloves and allow yourself extra time to get to school safely and on time for both drop-off and collection times.
