Pupil Induction and School Visit

Good Morning

Hopefully you have already received your email information about tomorrow's pupil induction sessions. It is repeated in this blog and further information about site visit and uniform is detailed below.

Pupil Induction

We are so looking forward to welcoming your children tomorrow for our pupil induction session. This will take place at Lydiard Millicent Primary School, as the Ridgeway Farm building is still under construction – but on time and looking great!

Pupils can arrive from 12.50 at the front office to be registered into their classes. You will need to sign and leave contact details and note any medical conditions as we do not yet have this information. Your children will need to bring with them a water bottle, any prescribed medicine such as inhalers or epi pens. They will need to wear their school uniform or practical clothes and sensible shoes as some of the activities will require them to be active.

 

Pick up is promptly at 3pm. Please walk around the rear of the school building onto the playground and your children will be released to you from middle door of the building. Please be aware this is also when Lydiard children are being collected so it will be busy and parking will be difficult. Please park in the village hall car park or in another safe area as parking is so limited at the school site. These parking areas do get busy very early just to be warned – hopefully not a problem we will have at the Ridgeway site!

 

At pick up it would be lovely for those that can, to stay and join in with the cream tea we are preparing for Ridgeway families. A few of the Lydiard families have been invited so it is a good opportunity to meet other families joining Ridgeway Farm and some of our partnership families. This will finish by 4pm. Please note you will be responsible for your child from 3pm and so if you are not able to stay for the cream tea please ensure you have collected them at the end of the induction session at 3pm.

 

 

New School Visit

We are in the process of arranging a visit to the school for pupils and parents before the summer holiday. As soon as we have confirmation of a date and time we will let you know.

 

School Uniform
School uniform can be purchased from the Famous School Branches online shop and store in the centre of town from the 1st of July. We are hoping to be able to source some samples so that if you are unable to go into town you can check the correct size for your child, as their sizes can differ to regular high street sizes. If we are able to do this we will of course let you know.

We look forward to seeing your children tomorrow at their induction session.

 

Save the dates!

09/06/2016 Stay & Play and Dates

 

Good Afternoon

 
We hope you are all well and have enjoyed a lovely half term break. A very warm welcome to new parents and pupils that have recently been accepted at Ridgeway Farm, we are so pleased you will be joining us on this exciting journey.
 
 

 
Stay and Play Session
 
Thank you to those of you who were able to join us at our stay and play session at Lydiard Millicent just before half term. It was so nice to put faces to names, of those that we hadn't yet had a chance to meet. I am sure you will agree, that we all had a good time trying out the different sports and getting to know each other.

 
 
Parent Information Session 14th June
 
 As you hopefully have seen on our save the date leaflet, next Tuesday 14th June we are running two parent information sessions for Ridgeway Farm CE Academy. These will be held at Lydiard Millicent Primary School. We are offering two meeting times and both meetings will be identical in content so please only attend one. These sessions will hopefully answer any questions you may have; provide information on starting the term in September; what school uniform will be and how to purchase; school timings; provision in the breakfast and after school clubs and also a chance to meet the teachers and staff.

The first meeting is 4-5pm with a short session just for Reception starter parents at the end of this session and then repeated 7-8pm, again with a short Reception parent slot at the end. If you are unable to attend these meetings we will post out an information pack to you and you of course are welcome to contact us with any questions you have, that may not have been answered.

Pupil Induction 28th June
The above meetings are just for parents - don't forget our pupil induction session for all pupils starting at Ridgeway Farm in September on Tuesday 28th June 1-3pm at Lydiard Millicent School and followed by a cream tea which families are encouraged to attend. This will be an opportunity to also meet some families from our partner school.


The School Building
The building work is coming along really well and everything is still on schedule. By next week the first classroom should be complete and orders have been placed, ensuring we all have something to sit on in September!

We hope you are enjoying this gorgeous sunshine safely and look forward to seeing you soon.

Best Wishes

 

Mrs Luce and Mrs Gibbard
