Marsden Infant & Nursery School

Breakfast Club have asked us to remind parents who use their club that if your child is requiring breakfast before school, they must arrive at breakfast club no later than 8.15am. This is to allow time for them to eat and get to school on time. Thank you for your co-operation.

As you know, Ofsted are inspecting our school tomorrow and we have already asked parents/carers to complete the online questionnaire. Ofsted would also welcome the views of our children. We would appreciate you taking the time to complete the pupil questionnaire online which can be accessed using the following link: https://ofsted.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Pupil/10088938. Please note, all surveys will close at 11am tomorrow. Thank you for your help.

Please find attached a letter from Ofsted informing parents/carers that they will be inspecting our school tomorrow (Tuesday 4th June). An important factor in their overall judgement of our school comes from the online parent feedback form which they invite you to complete. This is the link to the parent feedback form: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk. It also provides you with a free text box to make additional comments, if you wish. The deadline for completing the form is 11am on Tuesday 4th June. Thank you for your support.

We have now updated the calendars in both School Ping and on the school's website. We hope this helps families with planning.

Please find attached May's Newsletter.

May I politely remind our parents and carers that parking on the zig zags outside of our school gates during school drop off times is an offence. In the interests of safety, can I please ask everyone to be mindful of this when parking. The safety of our children is always our priority. Thank you.

Your child will be given a tube of Smarties today/tomorrow. Please refer to the attachment for information about this years 'Smartie Challenge'. Thank you.

As we have done in previous years, we will be sending children home shortly with a pint cup and asking them to fill it with goodies such as sweets, small toys, stationary etc for the tombola stall at the summer fair. To try to be more environmentally friendly, we would like to use cups made from recyclable material. We are asking for the help of our parents/carers with sourcing 180 cups (approx 570ml). If you think you can help in any way, please speak to our office team. Thank you.

Thank you to those who support our school by buying a school lottery ticket. So far this academic year, the lottery has generated over £900 for school funds, which will be spent directly on the children in our school. Attached is information about the Summer Term's School Lottery and information on how to get involved. Thank you.
