Coffee Morning - Friday 20th May
Transition to Secondary School
Our monthly Friday Coffee Mornings are gaining popularity, and we are trying to get better coffee and conversation going :)
This Friday, we have a topic of particular interest for parents with children moving over to WIS for Year 7 this coming academic year and the next - the current Year 6 and Year 5.
We are very pleased that Mr. Guy Hewson, Director of Learning from WIS has accepted our invitation to be at the Coffee Morning! Parents will also have the opportunity to interact with some teachers and parents at Kennedy whose kids have recently made the transition to WIS. Please send in any questions you may have for him.
Parents whose children are going to another ESF secondary school are also welcome as the transition process will be very similar.
Please let us know if you will be coming this Friday to allow us to gauge numbers.
Although of particular interest for these year groups all parents are very welcome.
Bus Applications for 2016/17
The due date for bus applications for next year is Tuesday 31st May.
If your child does not currently use the school bus service, but you would like to apply for next year, please click here for a bus application form.
If your child/ren currently use the school bus - but you will not need the service next year - please e-mail me to let me know.
As bus fees and PTA membership fees go into different bank accounts - please do remember to write separate cheques for bus and PTA.
2016/17 Incoming Year 1 students - bus and uniform
If you have a child who will be starting in Year 1 in August, you will have received a letter from Admissions with information about Familiarisation Day on Friday 3rd June. In addition to your child meeting his/her class teacher, and you receiving further information to smooth your child’s transition to Kennedy, you will have an opportunity to sign up for the school bus and purchase school uniform from 8:30am – 9:15am in the Gymnasium.
Please note Friday 3rd will be a particularly busy day on which to do bus and uniform therefore:
- If you already have a child using the school bus you will have received an application form – please put all of your children attending Kennedy School on the same form, Simply note "new Y1" against their class on the form, and submit prior to familiarisation day.
- The school uniform shop will be open from 8:30am – 10:30am Monday to Friday until Thursday 23rd June – you can purchase uniform during this period and avoid the crush on Friday 3rd June.
