Advanced notice for arrangements at the beginning of the Autumn term 2015

The beginning of the Autumn term next year is unusual as September 1st falls on a Tuesday and we have a Bank holiday on the previous day. I have arranged TWO of our FIVE INSET DAYS to be taken during the first week. The staff will be trained on those two days in Literacy and Numeracy initiatives and school will be closed for all pupils on TUESDAY 1st and FRIDAY 4th SEPTEMBER.

School will be OPEN on WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
We have engaged trainers from the leading companies in the country who are only available on those two days.
I appreciate that this may be not ideal for some but I wish to notify you in plenty of time to make arrangements for childcare on those two days. This training will enable the staff to deliver the literacy and numeracy programmes that come into effect in September to be delivered more effectively.

Inappropriate haircuts

Just a reminder that colours, tram lines, stars or any other close haircuts are NOT permitted in school. The Governing body have endorsed our policy to request parents to remove such designs from their child's hair. This is not acceptible in the Comprehensive school so why is it acceptible in the primary school?

This is part of our home school agreement which all parents sign on entry.

We would appreciate your co-operation in this matter and please wait until the holidays to do so and ensure that your child's hair returns to an acceptible style for the new school year.

Important information for events at the end of the term

The NED Show is coming back to Gelli

The NED Show will visit Gelli Primary on FRIDAY 19th June 2015. If you want to find out more about this programme please follow the links to Visit the NED Show website area for parents and visit the Kidz zone

The NED Show is a character education program that centers around three important messages that have life long relevance: Never give up, Encourage others and Do your best. During the assembly, students will learn about the importance of these three life skills while also enjoying storytelling, magic, humor and yo-yo tricks.

Focus Week

Here are the letters that were distributed by Pupil Post earlier on this week. Due to changable weather conditions some activities will be postponed or altered. Our text messaging system will notify you of any changes.
