School Uniform Expectations 2024

Uniform Expectations 2024 <– click here

Good afternoon,

At Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery, we believe children should feel a sense of pride in being a member of our school family. This is reflected in the pride they show when wearing our school uniform.

We commit to our duty to make sure that our uniform is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform. We try to ensure that uniform is available at a reasonable cost and that it provides the best value for our parents and carers.

Please find attached the ‘Uniform Expectations for September 2024’.

We are sending this out now so that you can familiarise yourself with it and ensure that you are confident in any purchases you make over the summer holidays.

Best wishes,

Mrs Tomlinson

Summer Water Safety

The Health Protection Hub at Telford & Wrekin Council have asked us send out some information to you on summer water safety. With the current hot weather, children, particularly older children, may look to go swimming in open water to cool down and have fun. This comes with various risks – cold water shock, currents, hidden underwater dangers and diseases such as Weil’s disease. 46% of drownings occur in the summer months and this rises to 75% amongst 13–17 year olds. Educating children on these dangers is important in preventing tragic incidents.

The Royal Life Saving Society and the Canal & River Trust have some good resources with more information on this to discuss with your children:

Safeguarding at SAF

Additional Safeguarding Measures at SAF

We have introduced some new safeguarding measures in the main entrance as you come into school. We have installed a set of lockers where we will ask visitors / parents to lock their phones securely away if they are attending a meeting so that they are unable to be used when inside the school. You will be responsible for the key for your locker and must keep hold of this during your time in school.

Parents who are attending reading morning or a class assembly must make sure that their phones are away in a pocket or a bag and not being used to record – if you are witnessed doing this you may be asked to leave.

We have also added some concern slips so that if any visitors or parents see or hear anything that might be a safeguarding concern whilst inside the school, you can record this down. These can be completed and handed into the main office where a DSL will action them. These cannot be anonymous.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Attendance Week!!

Our attendance week last focused on attendance and punctuality. All of our classes tried really hard and we had many classes that achieved 100% each day; lots of classes achieved over our 96% target too.

Our Year-to-Date overall attendance is: 95.56% which is below our school target of 96% but above the National Average of 93%.

I wonder if we can get above 96% before the end of the Summer term??

Our Year-to-Date persistent absence is significantly below National Average at 7.5% which is fantastic!

We are currently ranked 14/54 schools in Telford and Wrekin!

Well done for amazing attendance last week – let’s keep it up this week… I’d love to get 100% for the whole school one day 🙂
