- Letter from Mr Griffin

Dear Parents,

On Tuesday, we were joined by Mrs Kirkwood from The Cooper School, who arranged a sitting volleyball competition for all the classes. Sitting volleyball is a fast-paced game requiring agility of thought and quick reactions. Some of you may remember sitting volleyball from the 2012 Paralympics! The children had a great time learning a new sport, developing their communication skills and improving their hand to eye coordination.  

As we approach the end of term, I would like to remind all of you of some exciting events taking place in the final week. On Tuesday, we have the festive Christmas lunch; to mark this special occasion, children will be able to come to school wearing their Christmas jumpers. We are asking all children to bring in £1 to raise funds for the PTA who play an incredibly important part in leading initiatives for the school.

On the final day of term, we are going to have a Christmas party day. Children can come into school in their party outfit if they would like. In the morning, all of the children will be watching a virtual panto of Jack and The Beanstalk before having a class party in the afternoon.

In order to keep your family and relatives safe over the festive period, following the Department for Education advice, we will contact any close contacts resulting from positive cases in the school, up to and including the 24th December. If you do need to contact the school during the holiday period to notify us of a positive COVID-19 result up to and including the 24th December, please email the school using the following email address: head@charltonono.co.uk.

On a final note, I would like to thank all of you for sending us the Christmas cards and gifts a week early, this will ensure that they can be safely distributed to the children and staff during the final week.

Have a great weekend

Mr Griffin

- Reception Admission

RECEPTION ADMISSION SEPTEMBER 2021

We are now accepting applications for Reception entry in September 2021 (see Key Admission Dates attached).  Parents should be encouraged to apply online at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/primaryadmissions as this is the most secure way of applying, but if parents cannot access the online process, we do have a paper form that I can send you.

Starting School Brochures are no longer being printed, but all the information contained in the Brochure is available on our admissions website.

The closing date of Reception applications is 15th January 2021, and the National offer date is 16th April 2021.  The 15th January closing date is extremely important, as late applications will not be considered until May 2021 after the first offers have been made.  Parents who make a late application are less likely to be offered a place at one of their preferred schools.  The details of the admissions process is widely advertised in Doctors Surgeries, Libraries, Parish Councils, and made available to the 2,500 subscribers to the OCC Early Years Newsletter.
