Weekly Bulletin: Friday 22nd November 2024
Headteacher’s message to parents/carersDear Parents/Carers,
Since the beginning of this term, we have been reminding children about uniform expectations as part of our weekly phase assemblies. Full information about uniform expectations are at www.tunbury.kent.sch.uk/Parents/School-Uniform/
The simple reminders we’ve given children again today are as follows:
Uniform check: Are you wearing the correct Tunbury school uniform?
- Black school shoes.
- No rings, bracelets, necklaces or other jewellery.
- Earrings: small, plain, round studs only and must be removed for PE.
- School shirts and ties in Year 3 and above.
If children repeatedly wear trainers to school, they will have to change into school-provided black plimsolls for the day. We have just re-stocked our plimsolls and have them ready in all sizes.
We’re all about teamwork and community at Tunbury, so wearing the full school uniform is important for children to show that they are part of Team Tunbury and ready to learn. Thank you for your support.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Best wishes
Ruth Austin
Headteacher
Notices
Children in Need thank you: We exceeded our target and together, we raised a massive £525 for Children in Need last week! Thank you for contributing.
Snacks reminder: Please remember that we are a ‘healthy’ school, so any snacks brought in from home to be eaten at break time must be a healthy snack, i.e. fruit or vegetables. Please do not send children in with crisps, sweets or chocolate. Thank you for your support and understanding.
New Entrants Tours: Do you have a child starting school in September 2025? Please do come and visit us to find out more about joining Team Tunbury! Our next school tours are at 9.00, 9.45 and 10.30 on Friday 6th December and Monday 16th December. To book onto New Entrants tours, or if you have any extra questions about starting school, please email newentrants@tunbury.kent.sch.uk as we would be happy to help.

In addition, please see the attached leaflet.
Weekly Class Attendance: This is a weekly feature on our bulletin to highlight and celebrate good levels of attendance. Well done to our KS1 winners Yellow Class and KS2 winners Azure Class!
Team Points: Here are today’s Team Points totals. Holmes have overtaken Attenborough and are the first team to 2000 points so far. Well done!
Today in assembly, children voted for their Team Point reward at the end of Term 2, which will happen on the last day of term before Christmas. Their chosen reward was ‘Team time in the IT suite’ which won 56% of the vote. (Extra playtime was an option, but not such a favourite in cold weather!)
