Dear Families,

Welcome back to St Bart’s for our new academic year.  We have lots in store for this coming year and we welcome some new staff to the team.

There are always some important pieces of information to share in September, so here are the first few.

Any snacks, drinks or packed lunches should be healthy.  We do not allow fizzy juices or chocolate – and especially anything containing nuts! Morning breaktime snacks will be kept away from packed lunches and should not include crisps.

The children from Classes 1 to 6 may come to school in their PE kits, on their PE days.  This means less time changing and more time learning.

PE Days:

• Monday – Class 6
• Tuesday – Classes 4 and 2
• Wednesday – Classes 3 & 6
• Thursday – Class 5.  Class 4 go swimming up to Christmas.  Class 3 swim after Christmas.
• Friday – Class 1

Remember that earrings should only be of the stud-type and need to be removed for PE. If they can’t be removed due to a new piercing, you must tape them up securely for PE days.

We always ask for updated contact information from families, as well as permission for certain types of school activities.  Please visit bit.ly/StBartsData2022 and complete this form as soon as possible.

Children in Classes 5 and 6 may also walk to and from school without adult supervision.  If you would like this for your child, please complete the form at bit.ly/WalkingHome22

Homework will begin next week, so watch out for this in book bags.

We are very hopeful for this coming year – I trust that you are too.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Restall
