We would like to welcome Joshua Lodge to Class 2 and Pawel Skalamowski to Year 9 both of whom joined us for the new term.

JOSEPH AND HIS TECHNICOLOUR DREAM COAT

You have seen it on the BBC – now come and see this fabulous production at The Forest School! The secondary department pupils are performing this on Thursday 28th February at 2.30. Please put the date in your diary – tickets will be available nearer the time.

 

 

PARENTS CONSULTATION EVENING
As this is a very short term, there won’t be a parents consultation meeting. A meeting will be held in the summer term. If you want to discuss any matter concerning your child’s progress at school please telephone their teacher or member of the senior management team.

POST OFFICE CLOSURE

We have been notified that our local Post Office at Stockwell Branch, 2 Chain Lane, Knaresborough is to be closed in the next round of proposed measures. This facility would be very much missed by the local community and school, and if you are able to register your objection to this, please do so by e mailing consultation@postoffice.co.uk before 17th January.

PARENTS SUPPORT GROUP

A very big thank you from the parents support group for all the toys you donated for the stall at the Christmas Fair. A calendar of events
will be circulated shortly so you can keep in touch with the activities to be arranged by the Parents Support Group.

Also if you have any unwanted Christmas Gifts that would be suitable for raffle prizes, please send them in to school for the attention of the Parents Support Group. Thank you.

RDA

Horse riding restarts for secondary pupils on 25th January, and 22nd January for primary pupils.

SENSORY GARDEN

The School is developing a small sensory garden. We have the support of Knaresborough Rotary Club in this project. The pupils have been invited to take part in a competition to design the garden. Work is due to start this term.

RESIDENTIAL VISITS

For all students going on residential visits this year please check the schedule of incremental payments due sent previously by letter. If you have any queries, please contact the school bursar.

QUIZ EVENING

As promised we are to rearrange the Quiz Evening on 14th March at 7.30pm. Details, and tickets will follow shortly. Please put the date in your diary as this is a very enjoyable evening.

HENSHAWS HOLIDAY CLUB

Details are enclosed from Henshaws regarding a holiday club they are arranging for February.

It was great to see so many parents at the primary department Christmas Nativity Play. Once again we all enjoyed the concert thanks to the hard work of the staff. Your generous contributions to the collection raised £218.40 for the Wheelchair Foundation.

Finally ……………

On behalf of the staff, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your Christmas cards and presents and to wish you all a very Happy New Year.
