RRSA Article 3: All organisations concerned with children should work towards what is best for the children.

Dear Parent / Carers,

I’d like to welcome you all back to Camrose Primary. I hope you had and enjoyable summer break.

I’d like to begin by saying a HUGE welcome to our new Reception and Nursery pupils and parents. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and seeing the children grow and flourish during their time at Camrose.

I would like to remind you about the importance of your child attending school every day and being on time.

YOUR child’s education is very important to us. We want them to succeed and be the best that they can be. To achieve this we will do all we can to ensure that they get the best possible education however; we can’t do this without YOUR support.

If your child consistently misses school or parts of lessons due to lateness then it WILL affect their education.

Please be aware that time off during the school term is only authorised for ‘exceptional’ circumstances – NOT for holidays.

The school can and will only authorise a maximum of 5 days absence throughout the year.

Unauthorised absence could result in a Penalty Notice from the local Authority

School starts promptly at 8.45am

We had a very successful year last year and I have no doubt that with your continued support we will be even more successful this year.

There is already lots planned for this year, so please check the school calendar regularly - it is on the school website and on the parent portal.

I look forward to seeing you all at the ‘Meet The Teacher’ sessions. Please remember if you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to come in and see us;

The door is always open.

School Dinners

I’d like to remind you of the procedures for school dinners.

You are asked to select whether you are school dinners or packed lunch and remain with your choice for the half-term. If, at the end of the half-term, you wish to change you must inform the school office in writing.

Your child will have the choice of the Meat or Vegetarian option.

I’d like to remind you that as previously, all meat is halal. This is the case throughout Harrow schools.

Parent Governors

We will soon be holding elections for a new Parent Governor.

Please show your support to the school by joining our dedicated, supportive Governors.

Governors play a vital role in the development of the school and make decisions which are in the best interests of the children.

If you feel you can offer your time and want to help ensure Camrose develops into an Outstanding School then please see Jenni, in the School Office.

RAAC Concrete

You may have heard on the news about schools closing due to RAAC concrete within the school buildings.

You will be pleased to know that we do not have any RAAC concrete in our school.

After School Clubs

Your child will be bringing home a letter soon with a list of After School Clubs that will be available this term.
