Wednesay 28th August 2024

Dear Families,

I hope you have all had wonderful and relaxing summers.  

We are very much looking forward to seeing KS1 and KS2 children back next Tuesday, and starting to welcome our new Reception and Nursery cohorts later in the week.  

Following are a few reminders for the start of term: 

  • Monday, 2nd September is an INSET day and therefore closed to pupils
  • Tuesday, 3rd September is the first day back for Years 1 to 6. School gates open at 8:40am
  • Drop-off: enter the school via the main vehicle gate, leave via the small gate
  • Pick-up: enter the school via the small gate, leave via the vehicle gate
  • Ensure your child is in school by 8:50am everyday to avoid any disruption to learning
  • Ensure all children come school in school uniform, with a water bottle and pair of indoor shoes (all clearly labelled) 
  • Breakfast club, (internal) after-school clubs and wrap-around care start as normal from Tuesday next week (see below for more information about clubs and wraparound care)
  • Note: Reception and Nursery clubs start on Tuesday 10th September

Please see the end of this email for some key dates coming up this term. 

We look forward to seeing you all very soon!

After-School Clubs

We are working on configuring our Breakfast Club bookings on MCAS. These should be available on your account by the end of this week. We will inform you when these are live.

Internal clubs will be running as normal from Tuesday (3rd) next week, including breakfast club from 8am. 

External clubs will start from next week.

We also have a new Lego Club starting on Fridays (from 13th September). Please note that this club is run by Sports Focus UK and books should be made directly through their website: www.sportsfocusuk.co.uk

Unform Collection

New uniform items can be purchased via MCAS . The office will be open for uniform collection on Monday (2nd September) from 3pm to 5pm. 

Alternatively, you can collect uniforms at drop-off time any day next week (3rd-6th September). After this Uniform collection day will be Wednesdays. Where possible, please have screenshot of your order available when collecting.

Please ensure all uniform is clearly labelled. 

And a little read about multilingualism...

At JKPS, we believe strongly in the benefits of bilingualism and multilingualism. Here is an interesting read from the US Department of Education that summarises those benefits succinctly with the goal to provide every student with a pathway to multilingualism. Click here.
