Notices and Reminders

Comic Relief

To raise funds for Comic Relief, the children have been invited to 'adjust' their school uniform for the day. For details about the day please click on the link to the letter sent out this week here.

We have set up a Just Giving page as it has become harder to find places to bank cash donations. If you wish to donate, the QR code below will take you directly to the payment page. 

Strike Action Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 March 

The current picture for Victoria School suggests that we are likely to be open to all classes, including nursery as normal. This includes Gold Key Breakfast Club and our After School Club provision. This could change so I suggest you consider possible alternative arrangements for childcare in case you are notified of a class closure at short notice. We will post messages by 7.30am on each strike day to confirm arrangements.

Parent Consultations

These are taking place on Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 March. Appointments can be made on Arbor from 12 noon on Sunday 12 March until 8pm Wednesday 15 March. 

British Science Week 13-17 March

The children will be taking part in British Science Week where they will complete lots of different activities linked to science including: a morning of experiments, learning about different STEM careers and taking part in live online science lessons. We are hoping this will inspire a generation of future scientists and help them make links to inventions and the science behind them.

Staff Car Park

We have noticed at pick up a few parents have been parking in the staff car park. Please could you remember that this is not for parent use but staff only, especially as we have very limited space. Alternative parking can be found either in the town car parks or residential streets near to the school.
