Thank you again to all those who took part in the PTA Grow a £1 Challenge. All the money has now
been counted. The children who raised the most money will be presented with book tokens in
assembly tomorrow. Well done children!
If you did not take part this year, please either return a £1 coin to school or transfer to the PTA
bank account: ‘Askwith CP School PTA’ sort code 05 06 61, account number 32322357. Thank you.
The PTA have raised an incredible amount of money this year. Many thanks to all who have
organised or helped with the various events and to all those who have contributed by taking part.
The money raised will subsidise school trips for all children and support purchase of 30 new laptops.
On Tuesday, the children in year 6 went on their Mystery Trip! A great time was had by all!
This morning, the KS2 SATS results were announced. Well done to all our Year 6’s who have worked
incredibly hard this year.
This afternoon, the year 6 parents have enjoyed watching their children perform the leavers’
assembly followed by tea and cake. The year 6’s have been a lovely group and will be greatly missed.
A reminder that school closes early tomorrow. Nursery, Reception, years 1 and 2 finish at 1.45pm.
Years 3,4,5 & 6 finish at 2pm or can be collected with younger siblings at 1.45pm. The buses will
depart at 2pm. Once you have collected your child / children, please clear the vicinity of the school

**Parents of year 6, please be in the playground by 1.30pm ready for the traditional year 6 leavers’ arch**
In the first week of term, we will be holding a welcome tea party in the school hall (Thursday 10th
September from 3.15pm) for all new families, those who have recently joined the school and all
those interested in getting involved with the PTA. Please do come along and say hello. Some
positions on the PTA Committee have become vacant, if you are interested please do get in touch.
Next year, we are trialling a new format for delivering class specific information to parents via
‘Meet the Teacher’ events. These will take place on the following days at 2.30pm in the classrooms:
Years 5&6—Thursday 17th Sept
Years 3&4—Friday 18th Sept
Years 1&2— Monday 21st Sept
Nursery & Reception—Tuesday 22nd Sept.
These events will cover a wide range of information including daily / weekly routines, the curriculum,
guidance for reading, homework expectations and statutory assessments as well as an introduction
to your child’s classroom and teacher. Please make a note of these dates. We hope that by
publishing these meetings now, most parents will be able to attend.
I hope you all have an enjoyable summer break, see you on Tuesday 8th September!
