School Photographs

A photographer will be in school on Monday (23 September) to take individual photos of the children and siblings.  Photographs of siblings within school will be taken during school hours along with pictures of individual children.  If you have children with pre-school siblings these family portraits will be taken before school in the hall.  Please come to the main doors from 8.30am.

If your child has PE/after school sports club on Monday, they should come to school dressed in their uniform and bring their PE kit in with them to change in to.

Family Group Photos

Mr Wheeler would like family groups (to include parents/grandparents) to come into school on Thursday 10 October (from 8.15am) to have their photo taken.  These photos will then be displayed around school to show the diversity in our school community.

Art / DT Days

Next week the following classes will be having their art/DT day as part of their Autumn Term topic. Throughout the morning, they will learn about and practise the different skills and techniques they need to produce a final piece in the afternoon.

Parents are invited into school to help with their child/ren’s final piece.  Parents should come to school from 1.15pm.

Year 5 – Tuesday 24 September

Year 6 – Wednesday 25 September

Year 2 – Friday 27 September – PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE FOR YEAR 2

On Friday 27 September from 2.30pm parents are invited into school to see the children’s final pieces on display in the school hall.

 

We look forward to seeing you.

Friends of Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge Annual Committee Meeting – Friday 27th September @ 2.30pm

We will be holding a committee meeting at school next Friday. If you would like to be involved please come along.

If you could let the office know you’re coming so we have an idea on numbers that would be great.

Thank you

The Community Pantry

Over the last few weeks, we have been working hard to complete our Community Pantry located in the school’s out building, known as ‘The Hub’. With all our community’s kind donations, we have created something to be proud of that will serve our families in times of need.

In The Community Pantry, you will find:

  • Spare uniform
  • Dried and tinned food
  • Information of services and support in the local area.

The Community Pantry will be open from Monday (23 September) 8.30am – 4.00pm, located in The Hub and is accessible without the need of coming through the school gate.

We are working to provide drop-in sessions for families who would like to talk about their experiences or stop in and have a chat! More details of this will be announced shortly.
