Spring Term 2017
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year to you all and I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing Festive Season.
Continuing in the spirt of good news I am delighted to be able to congratulate Mrs Cummings on
the news that she is expecting her third child in July this year. We will of course be planning for
her maternity cover in due course, however in the meantime it will be business as usual in
Reception.
Our two training days at the start of term very quickly got all the staff back into the swing of
school as we covered a range of topics from Pensions to Book Week. I was delighted that so
much of our training was delivered by our ‘in house’ expertise from the excellent staff team here
at Royal Russell.
If you drive onto site I am sure you will have noticed our new 5mph signs that were designed by
the children. In the interests of all our safety I would ask that you observe the speed limit at all
times when driving around school and if you recognise yourself in one of the photos below
please refrain from these activities whilst behind the wheel of your car.
As always the term ahead will prove to be a busy and productive one and as always we would
encourage you to support the many events that are happening this term and to ensure that your
own calendars are synched with the school one. (a copy is attached to this email).
Best wishes.
Mr James C Thompson

School Policy for Swimming
We would like to draw your attention to our school policy for swimming which is that all
children who are healthy enough to attend school are expected to participate in their
swimming lesson. If a child is suffering from an illness or infection severe enough to prevent
them from swimming, they should be kept away from school for their own well-being and
to avoid the spread of infection. We understand there are certain occasional, medical
circumstances when children who are otherwise healthy may not be able to swim and are
not infectious. In these circumstances we ask for notification in advance of the swimming
session verified by a doctor if at all possible.
