"The County Council recently held a public consultation on proposed changes to the Home to School Transport services we provide. We have reviewed our current policies as we must change the way we deliver school transport services so that we use our limited resources to support those children who need it most. The County Council aims to promote independence to our young people, encourage the use of sustainable travel and provide the most cost effective travel assistance as part of the transport transformation programme, to improve quality and support to the travel needs of our users and residents. Today, Monday 4 March 2019 the County Council’s Cabinet has discussed and considered the Home to School Transport report, which includes the findings of the recent public consultation. We would like to make you aware of the recommendations that were made and agreed today. You can find the Cabinet report and supporting appendices at: www.buckscc.gov.uk/schooltransportsurvey " Please click the letter to see the full information.

The theme for World Book Day 2018-2020 is SHARE A STORY, as we want to keep spreading
the word about the importance of families sharing stories for just 10 minutes a day, anywhere, any time, to inspire parents and carers to get involved in creating readers for life. We will out SHARE A STORY at the heart of our World Book Day celebrations with an assembly that will get children thinking about books, who they would like to share them with and when. All of the staff came dressed as Giraffes, in celebration of the book 'Giraffe's Can't Dance' by Giles Andreae. Outcomes of the day: • The children will be encouraged to keep reading and to explore different kinds of books. • The children will be keen to share stories with different people they know and to read at different times during the day. • The children will each take home the £1 WBD book of their choice - and be enthused to read it. https://www.worldbookday.com Dear Parents/Carers, As you are aware, Rosen and Rowling classes will be visiting Denham Country Park on Thursday, 14th March. Please find below some additional important pieces of information.
We would like to thank you in advance for your co-operation; we are sure that both the children and staff will have a worthwhile and exciting day out. Yours sincerely, Mrs S Bowden and Miss R Bjorck Every Tuesday until Easter, Year 3 have a specialised cricket coach coming in to their PE sessions.
