Our Vision

We believe that our children should have the aspiration and opportunity to ‘Live life in all its fullness’ and ‘Shine like stars in the sky’.
 
New this week…
 
Change to Menu: On Tuesday 1st October the hot dinner choice will be Roast Chicken with all the trimmings.
 
Rocket Parents:
Parents of children in Nursery, Reception and Year One are invited to join us for lunch on Tuesday 1st October at 12noon.  This is a great opportunity to try Sharon's delicious meals as well as encouraging your child to perhaps try new foods with you.
Please email admin@west-tanfield.n-yorks.sch.uk by Thursday 26th September with number of adults and your choice of either Roast Chicken or jacket potato with beans.
We look forward to sharing our lunchtime routine with you!
 
Year 6 Bike Ability
 
On Monday 23rd September, Year 6 will be having a Bike Ability lesson with David.  Please could they bring into school their bike and helmet from home.  Please look out for the consent form coming home tonight. - Please ensure this is back in school by Friday 20th September.
 
 
Charging Policy
 
As part of our reviews as a governing body, we have reflected on how charges are made to parents and wanted to provide some clarity around how and when charges are applied to parent pay accounts and the expectations of when payments for these should be made.
We hope this is useful for parents.
If you have any question around this, or have any difficulty paying for items, please contact Mrs Taylor for more support or help.
 
School Lunches
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a weekly basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Wrap Around Care
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a weekly basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Enrichment Clubs
Clubs are booked on a half termly basis. Once your child has booked onto a club, payments are then loaded to parent pay.
These should be settled in advance of the club commencing.
 
We thank you for your support in this.
 
Behaviour Policy
 
At the start of the year, we like to send out the behaviour policy for information and as a reminder of our approach to managing behaviour in our school community.
We hope that this is helpful for parents. If you have any further questions about this, please speak with your child's class teacher of Mrs Taylor.
