Volunteer Readers
We always like to welcome volunteers into school to help with a number of different activities. In order to help us
continue with the focus we already put on the importance of reading with an adult, we would like to know if any parents
or carers would be interested in coming into school to listen to children read. If you would be interested in volunteering
please contact Mrs Earl in school. Training can be given by one of our teachers should you feel you need it.
School Milk
From Monday 2nd February children in KS2 on free school meals will be having free school milk. If your
child is not entitled to free school meals but wishes to have milk then you will need to pay and it will be 8
for this term (until 27th March).

Uniform
Could I remind parents that children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 should be wearing a light blue short
sleeved shirt and a tie.
Parents in receipt of free school meals (not universal free school meals) are also entitled to free
uniform. For more information please contact staff in the school office.
If your child wears a headscarf for school could you please make sure this is navy blue, black or grey in colour and not
patterned.
Internet Safety
Last weeks headlines about murdered teenager Breck Bednar highlighted the very real dangers children and teenagers
face when interacting with people on the internet. We are very aware that some of our older children play online gaming
and that some pupils use social media sites. Internet and e-safety forms a large part of our computing curriculum but we
would like to give parents the opportunity to gain advice from the professionals. If you would be interested in an
e-safety session for parents please email the school office (office@fagley.bradford.sch.uk) and title your email esafety for parents. We will be more than happy to run a session for you.
Winter Weather & Contact Numbers
On Wednesday 21st January school closed at 1:15pm due to the weather conditions. We had trouble
contacting some parents as we did not have up to date numbers on our text service. If you do
change your contact numbers please let school know as soon as possible.
If weather conditions are bad or become unsafe we do sometimes have to take the decision to close
school. These decisions are not made lightly but are done so for the safety of all our families and staff. If the decision
is made to close then we will inform you:

By sending out a text message

By announcing the closure on Bradford Schools Online which will then be announced on Pulse Radio

We will be changing our school photographer this year to The School Photography Company. They offer a good range of
high quality products at reasonable prices. As well as the standard pack they offer an Eco pack for 10 which includes 1
large, 2 medium and 2 small photographs as well as 4 passport size photographs and a bookmark. If you would like to view
the Eco pack please call in at the office and ask to see the sample. Each year 6 pupil will also receive a free Leavers
Book.
