Dear Parents and Carers

I hope you have had an enjoyable start to the term.  The children are working hard as always, and we continue to be amazed.

Just a few reminders for the start of the year:

School hours: The gates open at 8.40 am and the school finishes at 3.10 pm.

School Uniform reminder:

 We expect all the children to be wearing a complete QPA uniform which is as follows:

  • Queen’s Park Academy jumper
  • White button-through shirt
  • QPA tie
  • Black trousers or black skirt (no pinafore or summer dresses)
  • Black socks (boys), white socks or black tights (girls)
  • Black sensible school shoes
  • For PE – House T shirt, black shorts, plain dark track suit and trainers (no need for plimsolls as we work in bare feet in the hall).

Our Academy jumpers, ties, book bags and PE bags are only available for purchase directly from Stevensons in Southbourne or Star Soccer in Moordown.  Trousers and Shirts, can be purchased from any retailer.  However, black shorts and tracksuits can be purchased from any retailer but please, no football club tracksuits or shirts.

Clubs

Mr Pettefer would like to thank you all for your support for the after-school and lunchtime clubs. The response has been overwhelming and most of the clubs are now at full capacity. We will be sending letters next week to confirm club start dates and arrangements. If your child didn’t get selected this half term, they have been put on a waiting list for later on in the year.

I would also like to say a huge thank you to all the staff who have given up their time to help with these clubs as it has enabled us to offer a wide range of clubs for all tastes and a huge number of places to many children. Our aim is to have every child in a club of their choice during the course of the year.  We are also in the process of organising further clubs – details to follow shortly.

Mobile Phones

We understand that some of our older children do walk to or from school alone and that parents provide them with a phone to ensure they are safe.  Please provide your child’s Teacher with a letter so we are aware who has permission to have a phone to and from school.  Please note that we cannot be responsible for these phones.  Can you please remind your children that their phones must be switched off and handed to their Teachers at the start of each day.

Best wishes, as always

Mrs S Simmons
Associate Principal
