Attendance
Birch visit Forest School
Our first visit to Boiling Wells Forest School was brilliant. The children loved the fact they could walk there. The day was spent exploring the new site, making leaf crowns, hammering leaf flags and drinking their freshly pressed apple juice!





Did your child move from Y2 to Y3 this year?
To all parents and carers of Y3 pupils – we are looking for your feedback on the process of moving from Year 2 at Silver Birch site to Year 3 on Willow site.

Breakfast Club
Dear Parents/Carers,
We would like to remind all parents and carers that children must be booked onto Breakfast Club in advance, even if they are attending a free session.
Having an accurate register is essential so that we know how many children will be attending each morning and can ensure that we have appropriate staffing levels in place. It is also an important safeguarding requirement, as we need to know exactly which children are in our care.
If your child is not booked onto the MagicBooking register, unfortunately they will not be accepted into Breakfast Club.
We have also noticed that some children have been arriving at Breakfast Club and being dropped off without a parent or carer accompanying them. For safeguarding purposes, parents/carers must remain with their child until they have been safely handed over to a member of the Breakfast Club team.
We appreciate your cooperation with these procedures. They are in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children attending Breakfast Club and to help the club run safely and smoothly each morning.
If you have any questions or need assistance with booking your child onto Breakfast Club, please get in touch with us.
Thank you for your understanding,
JAG team

School Streets Consultation
School Streets – Proposed trial of ANPR camera enforcement at St Werburgh’s Primary School (Mogg Street site)
Bristol City Council are seeking views on a proposed trial using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera enforcement at St Werburgh’s Primary School (Mogg Street site) School Street.
The trial would use an ANPR camera to:
- Replace the temporary barriers stewarded by school staff, removing the need for school staff to enforce timed restrictions on the street
- Make enforcement easier, improving the road safety for children and families attending the school
- Automatically issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for vehicles entering the School Street zone during the restricted times who do not have a valid exemption
The current timed restrictions (8.30 to 9.15am and 2.45pm to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday during term-time only) of the zone would not change. The permanent one-way system (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) on part of Mogg Street would also remain in place.

Mobile Phones and Smart Watches
Another reminder to parents that mobile phones should not be brought in to school.
If they are brought into school we will ask the children to lock them away in safes in their classroom. This includes Smart Watches – so please ensure these are kept at home.
Recent changes in the law, and changes to Keeping Children Safe in Education make it very clear that we need to support children in reducing their screen time and ensuring their safety when they are online. In school we have strict filtering and monitoring to ensure their safety.
For more information on online safety please check out our Online Safety page on our website – https://www.stwerburghs.amplifyeducation.co.uk/page/?title=Online+Safety&pid=106.
