I hope you all had an enjoyable summer break. Welcome to the new families who have joined Askwith Primary School this week. There is a lot of information and reminders in this edition, which I hope you will find useful.
As per my letter sent out on Tuesday, we are continuing to use Parent Pay for parents to book and pay for breakfast club and after school clubs. A reminder that after school club can be booked or cancelled up until 2.30pm on the day, but breakfast club needs to be booked or cancelled 4 days in advance so staffing can be planned, see table below;

For those wanting to plan ahead, see attached the different after school sports club that will be taking place on Mondays and Thursdays throughout this year.
Please also see attached a copy of the term dates for 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 and ‘Dates for your Diary’ for this half term including Harvest assemblies and online parents’ evening dates. Included on the list of dates is the date for the nasal flu vaccinations for children in years Reception to year 6. A letter explaining how to give or decline consent was emailed out yesterday. Please click on the link on the leaflet to give or decline consent by Friday 12th September.
The first event for parents is the PTA AGM on Tuesday 9th September at 6pm in the Penny Bun, all welcome!
A reminder about drop off and pick up times. If you have children in both groups, please drop off at the earlier time and collect at the later time. Children benefit from arriving at school promptly as activities and work commence as soon as the children arrive. As always, please park with consideration for the local residents and leave promptly to free up car park spaces for other parents.

Please can children have PE kits (including trainers or pumps to change into) in school every day. Nursery children do not need a PE kit. All children also need a named water bottle every day.
Mrs Susan Dockar, who retired at the end of last term, has asked me to pass on her thanks for all the gifts and kind messages she has received.
