- Wednesday 8th February - Year 4

Absence
Please do not book holidays or family days during term time. Missing even one or two days of school can be detrimental to your child's learning as key information is missed. Friendships are also affected. Holiday absences will show up as persistent absence which is checked by Ofsted when they visit and monitored closely each half term by the Education Welfare Officer at RBWM. Please note that changes are afoot which may require the issuing of fixed penalty notices for holiday taken during school term time.
Clubs - Spring Term
Please note all clubs except Martial Arts finish next week so do make sure you arrange for children to be picked up at 3.15pm. Many Spring clubs are now open for booking - click here for more information.
Reception class children can now be booked on to the following clubs:
- Magpies lunchtime Lego Club
- Magpies Gymnastics
- Zumba
- In2Sport Tuesday Football
- Playball
Magpies clubs can be booked after the last session of each club next week when new booking slots will be opened.

Message for Parents from NHS Frimley Health
RSV is a common virus causing colds and coughs but can be more severe in some children. Cases in our area are rising. Be prepared by knowing the symptoms to look out for in your child. See our clear guide here, along with NHS traffic light system guidance on what to do and where to seek medical help if required.
Please do not send your child to school if they're unwell or with a high temperature controlled by paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't forget that your child must not return to school until at least 48 hours after the last episode of any gastric upset (vomiting or diarrhoea).
