Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
the last day to order for FREE delivery back to the school will be midnight on
Thursday 2nd December
We will then download all orders the following day.
Any orders after this date will be subject to P&P back to the home address only.
Sometimes proof cards don't always make it home, so if parents need replacements, they can contact us on dsp.enquiries@gmail.com. But this must be in good time before the deadline date, especially if the last date to order is over a weekend when our office is closed.
Don't forget it is Children in Need on Friday (19th). Below is a reminder of our plans.
How?
1) A non-uniform day. Children can wear their own clothes of choice, or they can wear Pudsey-themed clothing (spots/ Pudsey ears/ there is also Pudsey mask template you can print and make if you wish https://www.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bbc-children-in-need-pudsey-roleplay-mask_ver_3.pdf)
2) Random Act of Kindness challenge! We will be encouraging each other to do something kind for somebody on Children in Need day. If the act of kindness happens in school, children will be able to write it down and add it to our display. If their act of kindness is at home, please can they write it down, or take a picture of the act. We will then add it to our display in school.
We will not be collecting cash donations. However, if you feel you would like to donate to Children in Need there will be posters on each classroom door with a QRcode which takes you directly to the Children in Need donation page. On this page you can select ‘single donation’ and choose your own amount to donate (minimum £1).
In consultation with the Governing Body, South Gloucestershire Council is proposing to reduce the admission number for Barley Close Primary School.
It is proposed to reduce the admission number from 60 to 30 with affect from 1 September 2023.
The proposal will bring the admission number more closely in line with recent and anticipated admissions to the school and will apply to new applications received for first admission to the Reception class in September 2023. The new admission number will age through the school and reach 30 across the age range over a period of 7 years.
No other alterations to the admission arrangements at the school are proposed and children currently attending the school will remain on roll.
Any comment on this proposal may be sent to South Gloucestershire Council by email to charlotte.johnston@southglos.gov.uk or by post at the following address:
Charlotte Johnston
Admissions and Transport Manager
Education, Learning and Skills
Department for Children, Adults and Health
PO Box 1955, Bristol. BS37 0DE
The closing date for responses is 17 December 2021. All responses to the consultation will be included in the Council’s annual report on admission arrangements and considered by the Council’s Cabinet in March 2022. Any changes will be published in the Admission to Schools booklet in September 2022.
