Dear parents and carers, One of the highlights of this week has been seeing how well children and staff have adapted to mixed age classes. The leadership team visit every classroom every day and it has been great to see how the staff are able to challenge and support all of their class. It has been lovely to see new friendships developing but also nice to see children coming out at break and lunch and catching up with friends in different classes. Our records show we are now at 85% of parents signed up and using Arbor. It is crucial this figure gets to 100%. As always, any issues Arbor, Mrs Tubby will be happy to support. At Lingwood we always like to hear about achievements outside of school. Well done to Dylan. Last weekend Dylan won Horning Junior Regatta. Have a lovely weekend. Mr Jeffery

Dear parents and carers, Welcome back. I trust you have all had a lovely summer break with your children. We have had such a good first week of term. The children have settled into their new classes superbly and are well and truly back into the routines of school life. Most children are looking really smart, and this is something that we focused on last year. There is always spare uniform at the front of the school if you need something. When your child has PE/Swimming please make sure they come into school in their PE uniform. This includes a yellow top. If your child has earrings, they should be able to remove them for PE lessons. If this is not possible, please provide them with tape to put over them. Hopefully, you will have read last term that there have been a few changes with how we communicate with parents. I am hoping you have all now signed up to Arbor and completed your up to date permissions under consents. Please make sure year 5/6 parents have gone on to the same section if you would like your child to walk home from school. If you are having any problems with Arbor, Mrs Tubby will be happy to support. We do not use Arbor for ordering school lunches. This will continue to be on Aspens. We have a new school website ready to go live. I know the old one has out of date information on it but this should be sorted out very soon. Have a lovely weekend. Mr Jeffery

Dear parents and carers, We made it! It has been a good year at Lingwood, and I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the school. The sun shone at our summer fete last Friday. Events like this are only such a success when you have a group of parents who spend hours of their own time before, during and after the event. Thank you so so much to the members of FOLPA for your amazing efforts all year round. We raised a whopping £1317. We want all of our children to have a lovely holiday and are not setting homework. We do however expect children to read over the holidays. Miss Long recently sent a letter out about a reading challenge, and I have sent a letter out this week about the importance of reading over the six-week break. It would also be a good idea for your child to go on Timestable Rockstars to keep their maths ticking over nicely. We have had a few children turning up to school in incorrect uniform including wearing coloured trainers. Please can you make sure your child has the correct uniform for September. Staff will return to school on Monday 1st September for two PD days and children will return on Wednesday 3rd September. Please see below dates for the rest of the academic year. We are still in the process of moving over to a new communication system called Arbor. You will receive an update before the sort of term. Good luck to our year sixes and to anyone else who is leaving. Have a wonderful summer with your children and see you in September. Have a lovely summer. Stay safe. Mr Jeffery and the Lingwood Team
