URGENT QUAINTON SCHOOL CLOSURE TUESDAY 20TH DECEMBER

This evening I have been informed by Thames Water and Bucks County Council that we are to close the school for all pupils tomorrow - Tuesday 20th December.

2 underground reservoirs in Ashendon that serve the local area have sprung leaks. One reservoir has already completely drained and the other will be fully drained by tomorrow morning. Therefore there will be no water supply tomorrow in school. Other local schools have been advised to close too.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but I am sure you understand.

Suffice to say the school holidays will start a day earlier than expected and sadly the Church service will not take place.

Kind regards
Mr. J Vernon

Looking for a primary school place for your child now or in 2023? Then please visit our website for details of our open morning on Tuesday 11th October at 9am.
We are a caring village school with small class sizes, happy children, good beahviour and an engaging active curriculum.
We look forward to meeting you.

Exposure Sport After School Club at Quainton School.

Exposure Sport is happy to announce it will be providing ASC care from September 2022. Exposure Sport are now taking bookings for Autumn Term 1 (September and October).

In order to make the booking process more efficient, Exposure Sport has an online system to manage bookings, children’s information and payments.

All existing and new attendees are required to register with the new service which can be accessed by visiting:

https://exposuresport.kidsclubhq.co.uk/rdr?u=book&id=7369

From this point onwards, this is the only way you can book your child a place at the club. The first time you make a booking, you will be asked to add your details and your child's personal, medical and emergency contact information. From then on, the information will be saved making way for far easier booking in the future.

Once you have registered your child, you can then select 'My Bookings' to make your booking.

Exposure Sport does accept childcare vouchers and tax free childcare payments; these options are available during the booking process. Please use 2667752 - HP18OlQ Waddesdon as your Tax Credit reference.

BACS payments will no longer be accepted.

Bookings for Autumn Term 1, must be paid by September 5th 2022.

Information regarding the club is as follows:

Over the week, children will be able to take part in many different activities and these include a range of sporting activities as well as arts and crafts, reading homework and socialising with friends.

The club will run from Monday 5th September to Friday October 21st.

Places will be limited and allocated on a first come basis. Should the club reach capacity and therefore not be able to accommodate your child, they will be placed on a waiting list. As soon as a space becomes available, you will be contacted.

The cost for the club will be £15 per session per child for the full 2 hours 50 mins (with a 6pm pick up) or £5 per session per child for the first hour (with a 4.10pm pick up) and £10 pounds for a 5.10pm pick up.

A 10% sibling discount is offered based on two children per day from the total cost.

In order to cover staffing costs, if your child is collected 15 minutes after your preferred collection time, a late fee of £5 will be applied.

A small fruit snack and juice drink will be provided. Your child is permitted to bring their own snack to the club - any snack provided must comply with the school’s no nut policy.

Children will be provided with an Exposure Sport t-shirt to make them easily identifiable in school. Please ensure your child brings their t-shirt to school on club days. Trainers and shorts/tracksuit bottoms can also be brought to school on club days.

Thank you for your support of the club.

Kind Regards,

Our Open Morning at 9am on Friday 8th October will now be held virtually. I would love to invite you into school but due to a rise in Covid cases locally this is no longer viable.
Instead I will hold a virtual Open Morning at the same time, where myself and others can introduce the school and answer any questions you may have.
To access the Open Morning please email [email protected] to receive a Google Meet link.
In the meantime please have a look at the videos on our website to get a flavour of what we offer.

Thank you for your understanding

Please share this page with any new parents you know whose children have joined this term 😊

Look what arrived in the PTA's post this morning! Our first fundraising project of the year... Christmas Cards! For those new to our school, this is when each child designs their very own Christmas card, which is then printed onto quality card in packs of 12 for you to purchase. We start early as the process takes a few weeks and then you should receive your cards in good time. You also have the opportunity to buy mugs and gift tags with the same design. We'll let you know when your child's design is ready to see and then you can place your orders by the online shop...

Dear Year 6 parents!

What a fantastic first day we have had. The kids have had a brilliant time, from an unscheduled climbing session to zorbing and raft building, an excellent time has been had all round.

After a lovely meal and an attempt at washing up - keyword being attempt - we are now sat around a fire roasting marshmallows. I'd love to say that's the only sugar they've had today, but somehow the children have bought a load of sweets with them. Thanks for those!

I'll share some photos on the website tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy the peace and quiet!

Mr. Hughes

Message from the PTA:

We hope the children enjoyed their tube of Smarties from us! This is a fundraising idea whereby you swap Smarties for coins - 20p coins fit perfectly - so you fill the now empty tube with coins to donate back to your PTA! Simply bring the Smarties tube to school (hopefully full of 20p coins!) and ask your child to give it to their teacher who will pass it on to us. Deadline is 25th May.
The class who raises the most will *win* a M***i Day!! Thank you for your support!

Dear Parents and Carers,

As you may be aware, we have an OFSTED monitoring visit tomorrow. I very much see it as an opportunity to share the fantastic improvements we have made at Quainton.
To help we would really appreciate your feedback, therefore please could you complete the OFSTED parent survey:

Welcome to Ofsted Parent View | Ofsted Parent View For parents Ofsted Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think of your child’s school, including: - how happy your child is at the school - how the school manages bullying or challenging behaviour If your child has special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), we will as...

Dear Parents/Carers,

Re: School Closure Tuesday January 5th 2021

As a result of tonight’s announcement we will be closing Quainton School tomorrow until we are advised that we can reopen again.

Due to the lack of notice, we will commence home learning on Wednesday 6th January at 9am via Google classroom, this will allow staff time to properly plan and prepare their home learning.

We will be open to children of key workers and those designated as vulnerable throughout this lockdown. Regarding tomorrow, I would kindly ask for parents of key worker and vulnerable children only to send them into school if absolutely essential. This will allow us the necessary time to put the correct provision in place. If you have to send your key worker children in tomorrow they will not have to wear school uniform but will need a packed lunch. Please email [email protected] if you are sending your children into school tomorrow.

Key workers will be based on the list established during the first national lockdown in March. If your child is in Reception class and you are a key worker, or you have become a key worker since last lockdown, please email [email protected] to let us know. We will be using a booking system through ParentPay for these groups of children from Wednesday.

I really appreciate your understanding during these difficult times; I will communicate further information tomorrow with more detail about how we intend to move forward.

Kind regards and keep safe.

James Vernon
Headteacher

Message from the PTA:
Christmas cards designed by YOUR child!
The children have all designed their own Christmas cards and they've been sent off to have their personalised order forms printed which will be handed out to parents after half term. So if you can hold off from buying any Christmas cards until you see your child's own creation, the PTA would appreciate it as this is a great fundraiser for our school!

Would like to share a video that Year 6 and Mr Hughes have created, to show anyone thinking of sending their children to Quainton a flavour of what we have to offer. Hope you enjoy!
