Artwork Order Form
Artwork Order Forms – Deadline Tuesday 20th October
A couple of weeks ago, the children at our school worked hard on some very special designs, and we’re delighted to share them with you! Each child’s design has now been printed onto an artwork order form, which was sent home in their schoolbag yesterday (Thursday 8th October).
From the form, you can order your child’s design on a range of lovely products, including:
- Christmas cards
- Holiday cards
- Mugs
- Notebooks
- Cushion covers
- Magnets
- …and much more!
These make perfect gifts for close friends and family over the holidays, or lovely mementos of your child’s art to treasure for years to come.
Order deadline: Tuesday 20th October
It’s very important that orders are placed before this date, as we’re unable to accept late orders.
Supporting our school
The school will receive 25% of the funds from every order placed, so this is a really lovely way to raise money for our school while getting something special in return.
How to order
All the instructions for placing your order can be found on the form itself.
Not received your form?
If your child’s artwork order form hasn’t come home, please get in touch at [email protected] and they will be happy to help.
Thank you so much for your continued support!

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.

Attendance
Attendance
As we move into a period where coughs, colds and seasonal illnesses are more common, we understand that it can sometimes be difficult for parents/ carers to decide whether their child is well enough to attend school. School attendance is vital for children’s learning, wellbeing and wider development, and is a strong protective factor for all children and young people, especially the most vulnerable. Missing school due to illness should only be where necessary.
More information on when you should keep children away from educational and early years settings can be found on the NHS website (Is my child too ill for school? – NHS and poster below).
The ‘Caring for children with cough’ leaflet (Caring for Babies and Children with Cough) was produced by researchers at the University of Bristol after extensive work with parents. It explains what parents should do when looking after a child with a cough and when parents should take their child to see a doctor.
Closing a school or early years setting should be a last resort. Any decision to close a setting on Public Health grounds should be discussed in an Incident Management Team meeting and support sought from the UK Health Security Agency and Local Authority Public Health Team.
Healthy Choices
This is another reminder to parents that as a Healthy School, we aim to promote healthy choices and wellbeing throughout the school day. At break time, children should bring a healthy snack, such as a piece of fruit or vegetables. Please do not send sweets, chocolate or other sugary snacks. If your child brings a packed lunch, we also encourage families to make healthy choices and provide a balanced lunch to help children stay energised and ready to learn throughout the afternoon.
We know that birthdays and other special occasions are exciting times for children and families. In school we will be celebrating the children’s birthday’s in class. Due to allergy law changes we are asking parents to NOT bring in any food to share for birthdays or any celebrations.
We would like to remind parents that WE DO NOT ALLOW NUTS.
