Welcome, baby JudeGood Luck, Miss BennettChloe Bennett, our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator across the Three Hares Schools, has successfully applied for a new job and will be leaving our schools at Easter. Chloe has been part of the Three Hares for a very long time, having started her career as a teacher at South Tawton Primary School back in 2008. We are very happy for Chloe as her new job will be a step forward in her career - we wish her all the best in her new role. At South Tawton Primary School, Liz Davidson will be leading on SEND for the Summer Term, supported by the Trust SEND team. We know she will do an excellent job. From September, a new hub SENDCo will be in place. We know that parents and carers will want to join us in giving Chloe Bennett their very best wishes for this next step in her journey. South Tawton Primary School will not be closed due to strike action this weekFollowing on from previous correspondence regarding the National Education Union (NEU) calling their members to strike, in accordance with the provisions of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1992, we are writing to inform you of our school plans should the industrial action go ahead as planned. To determine if there will be the need for a full or partial closure on some or all of these days, we have undertaken a risk assessment and I am writing to confirm our arrangements for Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th March 2023. The school will be fully open to all year groups on both days. Staff Car Park Gate The wooden gates into the staff car park have recently been fixed and will now once more be closed during the school day. This is an important aspect of our safeguarding procedures and ensures that only school staff, pupils and signed in visitors are on the school site at any time. If you are collecting pupils from after-school clubs, please do not use the staff car park as having cars moving around the carpark when children are crossing it from the field presents an unnecessary risk. Children will be brought to the playground gates and handed over to parents at the end of clubs. Thank you for your help in keeping our pupils safe. Make Our Future BrightHopefully, your children will have told you about our Trust song for the Festival of Hope. Pupils across all Trust schools were recently recorded singing this song and the digital team have put together a wonderful video showcasing this. The video can be viewed on YouTube by following the link below. Watch here! Upcoming EventsWednesday 15th and Thursday 16th March - Possible NEU Strike Action.
