Worsbrough Common Primary School and Rising Stars Children’s Centre Newsletter School/nursery Admissions
Autumn Term 1
I am aware that a number of you have received letters regarding admission 12th October 2012 to Nursery in January this week. Although delighted that our nursery is again proving to popular I like many of you am disappointed that a number Year 2 Rocket of children who have siblings in school and have been with us in the ChilBuilding dren’s centre haven’t been allocated places. The admissions process is not something that the school is directly involved in, places are allocated by Please come and help the LA so any appeals or complaints must be sent directly to them. Y2 build their rockI have already contacted the admissions team and expressed my concern and am desperately trying to find some solutions however the issue this year is complicated further by the governments new 2 year old entitlement initiative which means our Children’s Centre may also be oversubscribed in January.
ets next Tuesday afternoon!
I will keep you posted with any further developments. Our Key stage 1 classes are also full as is Year 4. Ms Davies :) Key Stage 1 Reading Workshop A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Key Stage 1 Reading Workshop on Tuesday, Miss Holdsworth was thrilled to see so many of you there.

Year 6 parents event Thank you to those parents that came to support Year 6 and Miss Walsh today and have a go at our Mental Maths
Could I ask all parents and carers to ensure that their children’s uniform and PE kit are marked with their name. If you find your child has come home with the wrong uniform please support us by returning it to school. Any lost property is put in the red lost property box that can be found in the hall.

PE/Assembly times and Phonics Now you can see why we nag so To maximise learning time , particularly phonics and reading we much about times tables! have moved assemblies to 3.10pm. This means we gain an extra 20 minute slot in the morning to deliver phonics and guided reading sessions.
The downside of this is that our afternoon sessions are now shorter. By law we have to deliver 2 hours PE a week, to ensure we maximise the length of the PE sessions some classes get changed for PE before afternoon break so they are ready to get straight into their PE lesson,. Outside PE will also take place even if it is a bit chilly and drizzly! Children are more than welcome to bring tracksuit bottoms and tops in for PE as we move into the Autumn /Winter weather.
