Too often someone we do not know and is not on the pickup list is sent to collect a pupil. Safeguarding your child is our number 1 priority. We will not allow a pupil to be collected by a person we do not know. Also, brothers and sisters under 16 years of age cannot collect pupils. For these reasons we will be sending out new forms that will require passport photographs of those who are permitted to collect each pupil. Performances in School Krishna Avanti Primary School’s School Council. On Thursday afternoon, the pupils in year 2 elected 4 of their classmates as School Council Members for this term. Abhay Keshwala, Meera Lodhia, Dhani Gajjar and Kaavyaa Nair were chosen because they would be good, kind and listen to everyone. They will bring their notebooks to meetings with any concerns form other children and make notes to tell everyone what they talked about in the meeting. The planning for the school year means that we have weeks you may need to reserve in your diary: The week beginning 28 th October Diwali and performance for parents by the pupils in Year 1. The week beginning 9 th December Our Reception children will perform their Christmas production for parents. The week beginning 7 th July 2014 Year 2 will all take part in their summer production. This allows every child in school to be part of a public performance during this school year. We will ensure that exact dates are sent out nearer the time. Thank you to our Council Members and everyone who voted for them. After School Clubs Bus and Lunch Payments Please make your lunch and bus payments now through Parentpay.
