Welcome Back
Welcome back to a brand new year at CTK!
We've had a very exciting start to the school year, with lots going on around the school. Years 5 & 6 headed straight off to Deanfield for their residential camp (we will share pictures next week) and we were joined by our new reception class children for their first official days with us. We have been joined by new staff, and have seen some exciting changes around the school building too!
Despite the excitement, our first week has been incredibly calm and positive, and it's been lovely to see all the children return happy and eager to learn.
We're already looking forward to the wonderful things to come this school year and can't wait to share them with you!

https://imms.sirona-cic.org.uk/flu/2023/consent?v=1.23
The deadline to consent is 12noon on Tuesday 24th September - if you have not registered by this time, you will need to arrange your child's vaccination through your GP.
Uniform Reminders
Please can we politely remind parents and carers of the expectations around school uniform;
Children should be coming into school in full uniform each day. This includes footwear - shoes/trainers should be all black.
Children should not be wearing hoop or dangling earrings to schools. If children wish to wear earrings these should be one small pair of studs only.
If you would like further information about our school uniform please click here
Please also be reminded that all children should have a book bag, or a backpack bring enough to carry reading books. It's really important children have something to carry their books in so they're not damaged between school and home.
We would also like to ask that children do not carry their books and water bottles in the same bag to avoid books being damaged by leakages!

ATTENDANCE
Welcome back to a new school year and thank you to all those families who are already working hard to ensure their children are in school, on time, every day!
Please be aware of the following reminders:
Early Collections
If you need to collect your child before the end of the school day, this MUST be arranged prior to collection. You will also be asked for evidence of any appointments - without providing this, the absence will be marked as unauthorised which will effect your child's overall attendance.
Lateness
Doors are open for children to come in to school from 8.40am and children should be in school ready for registration by 8.50am.
Children arriving after 9.00am will recieve late mark and those who arrive after 9.20am will recieve an unauthorised mark for the morning session. Multiple occurances of lateness can have a negative effect on your child's overall attendance and in some cases may result in a penalty notice (fine).
Breakfast Club is available to all pupils from 8.00am (charged at £1 per day for children R-Y6 and £3 for Nursery) and is a great way to ensure children are in school on time, and ready for the school day.
