Charlton-on-Otmoor CE Primary School

This week, we have requested the transfer of funds to cover reimbursement for Mother's Day Lunch, the PGL trip, the Rainforest Trip and the Get to know Will trip and the clubs for the leavers. As soon as this has been processed by the County we will be able to refund money via ParentPay or by cheque if you paid by cash or cheque.

Any credit occured on the children's clubs account will be transferred to the new clubs in September. They will be refunded to all the leavers.

We would like to encourage parents of all children returning to school to take some time over the next week to reflect on lockdown. To help the children transitioning back into school, please see the Covid-19 Time Capsule PDF document. It might also help them to remember this momentus event which will be part of the history book when they are in their 20s or later!

I have also included some documents more aimed at SEN children about transitionning. Thank you.

 If your child has additional learning needs you might be interested in the online course.

Please find the document below about homeschooling for 2-4 year olds. Thank you.

Please find below a PDF file of all the help that the Mental Health Team can provide and also their latest Newsletter.

Well done to these children for reaching a Reading Record Milestone (every 25 nights) in their Reading Record. Great achievement!

Please can you let the office know if you are going to need to order some uniform items from Brigade so that we can set up an on-line ordering service for you.
