Thank you to all parents that were able to attend the parent events in Year 1 and 2 this week.

A very big thank you for your donations for Mad Hair Day today. We raised and amazing £210.26 for St Michael’s Hospice.

Year R Parents Evening is on 6^th and 7^th March. You will be able to book your appointment through Arbor, a link will be sent to you during the first week back after half term.

The following is a message from Hampshire County Council regarding the Brighton Hill roundabout:

 I am writing to advise you of upcoming planned day time working on the Brighton Way approach to the roundabout. The Brighton Way approach road will be closed in advance of the roundabout on Monday 19 February between 09.30am and 3pm. The closure will enable our contractor to safely relocate two traffic signs within the nearside verge to improve visibility to the traffic signals. The new directional sign on the approach to the roundabout will be moved to a more suitable location in advance of the roundabout to improve visibility to the offside traffic signal head. The warning sign for traffic signals will also be moved at the same time.      

A signed diversion will be in place via Brighton Way (south), Hatch Warren Way and The Harrow Way. Access from Brighton Hill roundabout into Brighton Way will remain open at all times, and access to Brighton Hill Community School will be maintained. I have attached the diversion to this email.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please email any enquiries regarding these works to: capital.delivery@hants.gov.uk with the subject line clearly marked, ‘A30 Brighton Hill Roundabout Improvements’.  

Further information and updates about the scheme, can be found on the scheme web page at:

We have attached the Map under letters home.

We hope you all have a lovely half term break next week and look forward to seeing you back in school on Monday 19^th February.

General Reminders:

• The play equipment must not be used before or after school – our insurance is not valid. Children have been told that if they are caught using the play equipment before or after school, they will lose dojo points.

• If your child has a medical appointment and is going to be late in to school you will need to order their lunch in advance. Please let the office know which lunch option they would like at the same time you advise of the appointment (or check with the office the lunch options that day if you need to).

• We are looking for some volunteers that may be able to commit to helping in school on a regular basis. This may be to get experience of working in school before completing childcare training or just because you have some spare time on your hands and would like to be involved in school life. You could help with the library, gardening, run small groups or help hear those children that don’t read at home. If you are interested in this, please email parent.mail@hwis.hants.sch.uk.  We would need to initiate a DBS (safeguarding check).

General News and Information:

HC3S have a parent portal where they can register children needing special allergy school dinner menus directly. This will give parents more control and direct contact with the catering team. You will then need to make an application online for your child to have a special menu and the school will be notified automatically.  If you need to apply for a special menu, please see the information by clicking on: https://specialdiets.hants.gov.uk/

If your child has a change or existing or new medical condition, please inform us by completing the form which is now available on our website: New or Change to Existing Medical Condition Form
