Well the weather has finally turned very cold! I hope everyone enjoyed firework celebrations on Saturday evening. Many thanks to all who came to All Saints mass last Tuesday morning; it was lovely to see so many parents. This week is our Remembrance Service on Friday morning @ 10:45; we hope that some parents will be able to join us on Friday morning in school.
I try to be just and fair.
If you haven’t already done so, please complete the ‘Settling In’ survey via the following link. We really appreciate your thoughts on the school and are always looking for ways to improve our practice; we hope this survey will help us to do so. http://perspective.angelsolutions.co.uk/diagnostics/Survey.aspx?link=05AAF92B-1C94-4824-

PARENTS EVENINGS TAKE PLACE ON 15th & 17th NOVEMBER Letters will come out this week for parents evening appointments. Please fill in your appointment slips and return them as soon as possible to ensure you get the time your request.
RAGTEX CLOTHING
COLLECTION 8th NOVEMBER
Please bring any unwanted textile items into school this
Tuesday: clothing/bedding etc. School receives an income
based on weight of the items collected on the day; we are
very grateful for anything you can give and any monies made
will go to support your children’s education.
Please join us this Friday morning as we remember all those killed as victims of war, in fighting or combat since the beginning of the First World War. We pause for two minutes at 11am to remember the cost to generations before us and to all those still suffering persecution and torment in their lives. We would be very happy if parents could join us for this occasion although we appreciate it is at a difficult time especially for those who work.

FRENCH PHRASE OF THE WEEK

CHAPLAINCY ASSEMBLIES THURSDAY
2:45pm Many thanks to everyone who
has come along to our Chaplaincy assembly.
If you have not yet been our chaplaincy led liturgies are every
Thursday afternoon from 2:45 (just before pick up time); all parents/carers are welcome.
PARENT GOVERNOR VACANCY We currently have one vacancy on our Governing Body for a Parent Governor. As a Parent Governor you would be representing the views of parents across the school.
This is a rewarding position and gives a real insight into the workings of the school. Please read all the information which was
sent out last week and I would urge you to seriously consider taking on this role.
Regards, Mr Ivor Morris (Chair of the Local Governing Body)
CAR PARKING AT THE FRONT OF SCHOOL IN THE MORNING AND AT THE END OF THE DAY. Please park with care at the front of school in the mornings and at the end of the school day! If any member of staff sees parents parking in these areas, we will take number plates and report these to the local CPOs.
FOOTPRINTS: Please also remember that we are encouraging the children to walk to school at the moment through the City Councils ‘Footprints’ initiative which the School Council are responsible for.
As we are now using the Class Dojo for rewards and
sanctions, we have had to make some changes to our
Behaviour Policy. The School Council have also been
helping to decide on our Rewards and Sanctions;
these are now up in classrooms.
The revised Behaviour Policy which is currently in
draft form, is on now on the school website.
Class teachers post photos from their class each
week. Many parents are signed up for the Dojo but
many are still not. On the Class Dojo you can also
track how many points your children are been given
each week.
If you wish to sign up to the DOJO, please complete
our Safe Use Contract with parents and your child’s
own Dojo login will be sent to you; please contact
your child’s class teacher for more information.
Please note the following days are booked for INSET (Staff Training) days for staff this year: Friday 13th January: (Grammar training for whole school with external provider) Friday 10th February: Multi Academy Trust Day Tuesday 25th July: Pupil Progress meetings for staff. School will close at the end of the school year on Monday 24th July with Awards Assembly @ 1:30.

ALTAR WINE: We will soon be moving to some new altar wine for a trial period. The reason is that some of the ladies who clean our purificators have noticed that the current wine we are using leaves stains which are very difficult to remove. The new altar wine is from South Africa, is fairly traded, so that we are supporting the developing world, and is organic. It is a white wine - altar wine can be either white or red. Canon Law does recommend to us that the wine used in Mass should be natural (without chemicals added and naturally fermented). Presumably this is so that it is as close as possible to the kind of wine Jesus would have used at the Last Supper. Fr. Matthew NOVEMBER THE MONTH OF HOLY SOULS: Just to remind you that we traditionally pray for the departed and have Masses offered for the repose of their souls in November. If you would like to have a Mass offered for a deceased loved one please speak to Fr. Matthew. Masses will be offered in general for the Holy Souls in November and for those who have requested a specific intention these will follow as soon as possible thereafter. PARISH BLESSING OF GRAVES this Sunday 6th November: At 2 pm we will have our parish blessing of graves at Carlton cemetery, jointly with Sacred Heart Parish. Please assemble on the flat area at the bottom of the cemetery for a short liturgy, then graves will be individually blessed. FIRST HOLY COMMUNION: Application forms for First Holy Communion are available in the church porch, or at school. The closing date for applications is 24 November 2016. YOUTH GROUP meet this Monday 7th November 7–9 pm. We look forward to seeing you there. Young people from Year 7 upwards are welcome. A reminder that If you are wanting to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation next year you need to come along to the Youth Group. There is a list in the church porch regarding Confirmation on which you are invited to write your name and contact number. SVP FOOD BANK is in particular need of: cereal – tea - coffee – tinned meat – tinned tuna - pasta sauces – biscuits - toilet rolls - detergents - cleaning materials.

BOOKS ‘GOOD AS NEW’ WANTED FOR THE NEW SCHOOL LIBRARY. We are now nearly up and running with our new school
