  Parent–Pupil–Teacher Review Meetings - Wednesday 25th March

  Dear Parents and Carers,
  
  It is that time of year again when we hold our Parent–Pupil–Teacher Review Meetings. These will take place on Wednesday 25th March. To allow time for appointments, school will close at 2:30pm on this day.
  
  These meetings are for Reception to Year 6 pupils. Nursery will not be taking part, as they will be arranging their meetings in a different way. Further information for Nursery parents will follow separately.
  
  This year we will be trialing a new way to book Parents’ Evening appointments through the MCAS App. As always, appointments will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
  
  The booking system will go live on MCAS from Tuesday 10th March at 9:00am.
  
  A guide explaining how to book appointments has been attached. If you have not yet signed up for an MCAS account, please contact the school office before Tuesday so that we can help you get set up in time to book your appointment.
  
  If you have more than one child in the school, please note that it will be the responsibility of parents/carers to book appointments close together where possible.
  
  Thank you for your continued support.

  YEAR 6 - KINGSWOOD FINAL INFORMATION

  Kingswood is just around the corner so we just wanted to remind you of some key details surrounding the organisation: 
  
  *Children will come to school at normal time on Monday 16th March. They should bring their bags/cases to school with them and these will be stored outside the Y6 classroom until we leave. 
  
  *All children should come in their sports kit- even those not going to Kingswood.
  
  *Children will have lunch in school. Please note that their packed lunch bag will stay in school until Wednesday so if you want to send their lunch in a carrier bag then the rubbish can be disposed of. 
  
  *They will return back to school by 2.15pm on Wednesday and can be collected at this time. 
  
  *Do not send children with any aerosols or sprays. This will set off the fire alarm just  like at school. Please send them with roll on only.
  
  We will not be posting any updates while at Kingswood. Please know we will contact any parents if needed but no news is good news. 
  
  *No personal electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and cameras permitted. 
  
  *Packing list is attached once again - ALL CHILDREN MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN SLEEPING BAG OR DUVET AND PILLOW
  
  If you have any last minute questions, please email at kingsoakoffice@watertonacademytrust.org
  
  Thank you
