Final reminders and updates before we start tomorrow!
Updates:
- Thank you to our grounds maintenance team who helped on Thursday evening. We had about 15 in total. A special mention to Mr Naylor and Mr Ford who gave much time on Friday and today. Thank you.
- Thank you to Mr Calver, our new ‘Outdoor Facilitator’, for his huge efforts over the summer. His work on the farm, Year R, and other areas, is making a fantastic difference to our school.
- We also have newly refurbished toilets in Year R and also for Years 3&4.
- For play and breaktime, we’ll be in 3 new zones and will have greater mixing across the year groups. We’ll introduce new playground equipment, too. This is to encourage ‘discovery’, ‘relaxation’, ‘creativity’, and ‘physical activity’.
- There is much to do still – please let your children know that the farm won’t be ready just yet :)
- Your fundraising for our school is making so much of this possible. Thank you.
- We’ll keep the traffic flow that we had before – ie walking one way around the playground.
- We’ll be back in the hall for lunches – both packed lunch and school dinners.
- Did you see this post about uniform, timings, PE days etc?
See you tomorrow – Breakfast club from 8am, KS1 and KS2 gates open at 8:30am.

The ‘Friends of St Mark’s’ (FOSM) was formed early in the life of the school. All parents are automatically members and our committee organises social events for children and adults and fund-raising events such as Key Stage discos, Easter Egg Hunts and Summer Fun days.
