September 2014

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome to the start of the 2014 – 2015 academic year at Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School. This letter forms the first of two electronic online resource packs. Welcome Pack – Admin Pack. This has been created to help you and your child to have a clearer understanding of school life. Curriculum Pack – Help Your Child With Their Learning.

Your electronic packs are accessible via the school website: .This will I hope, prove a better system for our families as well as a more economical solution for us!

The following items are contained in your electronic pack, some items are class/year group specific:

  • School community diary dates (updated electronically on the website as needed)
  • School term dates
  • School events across the year
  • Staff list + Class names
  • School Codes – please ensure that your child is familiar with these
  • Childhood Illnesses
  • Overview of the school day
  • Class timetables
  • School Clubs and Voluntary Contributions
  • Children with Special Needs Flyer
  • Birthday Treats
  • Privacy Notice
  • A School Community Guide to Prompt Attendance
  • Universal Free School Meals form*
  • School meals menu
  • Friends HWINS introduction letter.

*School meals are mandatory for Reception children and option in yr1 & yr2 but even if you do not want your child to have a school meal you must complete the form as we may be allocated more money to our school budget which can then be used to support teaching and learning. You are more than welcome to speak to Mrs Dutton-Waller or myself if you would like.

Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to speak with you child’s class teacher or a member of staff. Many thanks.

Here’s wishing all of our families a happy, successful and productive school year!

Warmest wishes,

Heidi Johnson Paul, Headteacher
