• ​​​​​​​Parents Consultation Evenings May 2021

  Mon 26 Apr 2021

  Like in the autumn term we will be offering 10-minute telephone appointments for parents’ consultations rather than face-to-face appointments. These will be held during the week commencing 10th May. To organise these, we will be using the online booking system via Primary Site, our website & email provider. We have a number of days available to support this way of operating and allow staff to space out calls. 

   

  How will it work? 

  On Wednesday 28th April at midday, an automatic email will be sent to all parents/ carers who are the priority 1 contact for each pupil.  It will invite them to book a 10-minute slot on their preferred date, once booked that slot will disappear off a list so there will be no double booking. After booking a confirmation email of the slot booked will be sent to the parent/ carer. There is also an option for parents to say if they are unable to ‘attend’ on the dates given.

  Your child’s teacher will use the telephone number which is highlighted as the preferred number on our management information system for the person booking the appointment. Please contact your child's teacher directly if you wish to use an alternative number. Also, please be aware if you receive the call on a device with caller display you will see:

  Either- ‘caller no. withheld’ if the teacher is using their personal mobile phone to call you

  Or- ‘01904553300’ if the teacher is calling from school

   

  ‘Help, I can’t access the online system!’

  If any parent/ carer cannot complete the process electronically the office staff will be able to book a slot manually. Please contact the office on 01904 552225 after 1pm on Thursday 29th April  to discuss available slots.

  Bookings will close at 5pm on Wednesday 5th May.

  Please help us by:

  •             Being available at the scheduled time of the appointment

  •             Being patient if you are not phoned exactly at the meeting time

  •             Being respectful of other people’s appointments and keeping to 10 minutes

  If you would also like to speak to me, please email school: wiggintonprimary.school@york.gov.uk to arrange a mutually convenient time.

   

• Individual & Siblings Photographs on Tuesday 27th April 2021

  Wed 21 Apr 2021

  Tempest will be coming into school to take individual and sibling photographs (NB: only those who attend Wigginton) next Tuesday. Please ensure your child comes to school in full school uniform on the day. There will be no PE on this day so there is no requirement to wear (or bring in) PE kit for those classes who would normally do so on a Tuesday.

  Proofs of photos will be sent home by the end of next week, with details of how to place an order. Orders must be placed by Friday 14th May 2021. Where ever possible we ask that you order your photographs online to reduce the amount of paperwork coming into school. However if you need to send the order into school it will need to be brought straight to the school office and placed in a dedicated box in the reception area. Please avoid sending it via class teachers.

  With many thanks for your co-operation in this matter,

• BIG PEDAL 2021: 19th to 30th April

  Wed 14 Apr 2021

  Dear Parents/ Carers,

  As highlighted in an email sent before the Easter holidays,next Monday is the beginning of Big Pedal 2021, where schools are encouraging pupils to come to school on their bike or scooter and it lasts for two weeks. 

  For this fortnight we will be allowing pupils from all year groups to leave their bikes in the bike shed and scooters on the scooter rack.  However, if you are able to avoid leaving them at school and are able to take them away during the day, we would really appreciate this.

  The bike shed will be monitored to ensure that pupils are not mixing from different bubbles.  Please ensure that, if you intend to use the bike shed, you arrive at the correct time and not early so we can avoid long queues.

  If you need any further information about the Big Pedal 2021 please see the school website: https://www.wiggintonprimary.co.uk/other-whole-school-letters/
