Leavers Events

The Leavers service will be held at church at 9.30am on Thursday 19th July – children from Y2-Y6 will attend. The Leavers assembly will be at 9.30am on Friday 20th July. Family and friends of Year 6 children are welcome to attend both events.

Summer Fete

A big thank you to the Friends for their hard work all year and in particular for putting on an amazing fete. We were entertained by the Red Devils parachuting out of the sky; a fly over by a Dakota and the Blue Eagles helicopters; dancing by the mini-mezzos and the school country dancers, amongst many other things. It’s going to be a hard act to follow!

It raised approximately £4,000.00  for the school which is going towards developing the Reception class outdoor area. Well done to the following children who won prizes in the art & craft competition based on the theme “Flying”  

Emily         Class R           Becky             Class 3                        Emma   Class 6           

Ede              Class 1             Charlotte         Class 4

Fraser          Class 2                        Kirsten                  Class 5

Musical assemblies

Well done to all the musicians who have performed to the school and their parents over the last two weeks – it has been a real pleasure to listen to.

Reading books

Please return all reading books to school by tomorrow so we can sort them out – thank you.

School uniform

We are sending home today details of our revised policy on school uniform which will come into effect from the beginning of September. On the whole, the uniform remains the same, but some changes have been made, particularly in light of health and safety concerns. Some of these changes bring us in line with other local primary schools and Kineton High School .

We believe that wearing school uniform helps children to feel they belong and encourages a sense of pride in their school. Looking and feeling smart can have a positive effect on attitude and behaviour in school and also makes a good impression to people from outside school.

Key reminders when planning for the autumn term are

·         Black sensible shoes to be worn. Boots, trainers and open toed sandals are not permitted.

·         No jewellery may be worn, and this includes earrings. Children wearing jewellery to school will be asked to remove it immediately.

·         Trousers, skirts and shorts (except for PE) should be grey, not black. They should be traditional style – no combats.

·         Sweaters and sweatshirts etc. should only be red.

·         Skirts and dresses should be knee length.

·         Children with hair long enough to be tied back should come to school with it tied back.

We expect children to adhere to the new uniform list when they return to school after the summer holiday and your support in this area is much appreciated.

School Meals

There will be a small increase in price to £1.60 per day from the start of the Autumn Term.

Parent Helpers

A big thank you to all the parents who have helped out over the last year in any  way. Your support in class and on visits is invaluable. Please talk to your child’s new teacher if you would like to continue.

Myton Hospice

Thank to everyone who supported the Wear Yellow day and Tea at Three. We have been able to make a generous donation to Myton Hospice.

Sports Day

It was lovely to see so many of you at sports day yesterday, braving the showers!  Congratulations to Verney for being the winning team and well done to everyone for their great team spirit.

Headteacher situation

We have enjoyed working with Mrs Hunt this term and have benefited from her support in a number of areas. We wish her well next year as she returns to Lighthorne Heath as full-time headteacher.

You should have all received a letter from the Governors explaining the arrangements for September. We are hoping that Mrs Moffatt will be well enough to return in September, but if this is not the case, Mrs Buran, who has been acting head at Tysoe, will serve as acting head at Kineton on a full time basis.

Thank you all for your support over the last two terms whilst Mrs Moffatt and Mrs Hunt have been absent.

We hope that you all have a lovely summer and look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday 4^th September
