RSE Consultation with Parents 

Relationships Education is a compulsory part of the school curriculum and is taught alongside our core PSHE programme. 

We are currently using the 'Life to the Full' programme, which has been produced by the Catholic education organisation, Ten Ten Resources. 

When we introduced this scheme parents were invited to be involved in a full consultation, so we would like to take this opportunity to touch base with parents who may be new to the school to allow them to view the materials available and have their say. 

We would like to invite parents to view the materials available - please check our RSE page - and then join us for a meeting on either  Wednesday 14th January or Thursday 22nd January. Please contact the school office if you would like to attend. 

This meeting would give parents an opportunity to learn a little more about how this particular topic is taught. 

Behaviour

Here at CTK, we're proud that the behaviour of our pupils is generally great

and visitors to our school regularly comment on how calm and positive the environment is.

Unfortunately, there are occassions where we have to deal with challenging

behaviour, and we do this following our school behaviour policy, working

together with parents to resolve any issues.

We like to work closely with parents to support behaviour both in and out of school, so with this in mind, from Monday 19th January, if a child has been sent to a member of the School Leadership Team due to poor behaviour, parents will be informed of this via text message. 

If, in the unfortunate event your child is sent to SLT more than once during the week, these texts will be followed up with a letter home. 

Please also be assured that staff continue to communicate verbally with parents when there has been a behaviour concern - and parents are welcome to contact us should they have any concerns of their own - these texts and letters will be an additional tool to keep everyone informed. 

If you would like more information on how we deal with behaviour at school, you can view the full policy here

We hope that incidents resulting in these messages will be few, however than you in advance for working with us to support positive behaviour at our school. 

Reception Class Admissions - September 2026 

If you, or someone you know, has a child that was born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, it's now time to apply for your Reception Class place. 

The deadline to apply for Reception Class 2026 is Thursday 15th January so time is running out! 

Please visit https://www.bristol.gov.uk/residents/schools-learning-and-early-years/school-admissions/primary-admissions/primary-apply or contact Miss Morse in the school office who can provide you with a paper copy of the application form. 

We also still have spaces available in our current Reception class, as well as space in Year 2 and Nursery Class. If you know of anyone looking for space in these year groups, please get in touch! 

Uniform Reminders

Please can we politely remind parents and carers about the expectations around school uniform. 

https://www.ctk.education/info/school-uniform

Please be aware that we have made the following change: 

Children are welcome to wear leggings, however these must be PLAIN black with no logos. 

Correct uniform also extends to school PE kit and it's important that children are wearing the correct kit on their PE Day. 

We would also like to politely ask that whilst skirts and shorts are a part of our uniform, please can we make sure that they are of an appropriate length. 

We would also like to remind parents that the only jewellery that should be worn to school is one pair of stud earrings. Children should not be wearing hooped or dangling earrings under any circumstances. These types of earrings are a health and safety risk, and should your child be seen to be wearing them at school, they will be covered with tape and you will be asked to remove them before the next school day. 

Thank you for your ongoing co-operation with this matter
