Ark Oval Primary Academy – News of the Week 20th - 24th Sep
Sunday 26 September 2021
Principal's Summary
Dear Parents and Carers,
Our week has drawn to a close with the highest of high points - we raised over £200.00 for McMillan cancer relief and over 500 pounds for Gene Research UK with jeans for genes.
These charities have a clear and direct link to the school. The money raised will directly impact our community - the children we support facing genetic conditions and the families and staff who have and do, require the support of McMillan.
A thank you big enough cant be said for everyone who donated, supported and helped us do something genuinely good for the people of our community.
LINE ETIQUETTE - Please respect each other and the requests of the school
Would you please use the entirety of the arrival window DONT all arrive at 1530 - we have cleared the line every day by 1535 - if you arrive at 1540, there is no line!
Respect the line - don't push in - if you are causing an issue in the line, you are compromising the safety of the academy community. We will take the matter seriously.
Please move through the site quickly and not stop for social reasons or provide snacks or adjust clothing for your child. They can wait the 3 minutes until you are offsite; the people are waiting behind you in the line can not.
COVID Plans:
Please ensure you inform us as quickly as possible if you keep your child out of school with suspected symptoms. Check with the school office if you are in any doubt about the new restrictions.

National Poetry Day
On Friday 1st October, the Academy celebrates National Poetry day with children being given a chance to learn, recite, perform and enjoy the creative medium of poetry, both classic and contemporary.
