On Wednesday 9th October 2013 we are holding Alcoa month of service here at Timberley. 
It will be a really exciting day with lots of things for the children to do. 
Alcoa are treating the children with a bouncy castle, circus skills, clowns, aeroplane making and mascot dogs and games. 

Alcoa are creating a herb garden and shelter in forest school for us. 
The Lord Mayor of Solihull will be visiting. 
Other schools will also be coming to join in the fun. 

If any parents would like to help out with digging and planting please let the school office know 
if you are interested. 
A very big Thank You to Alcoa for their continued support. 

Could all parents/carers make sure their child/children wear full school uniform on the 9th. 

Sorry for any confusion due to the changes of dates.  

As the weather is changing and the colder seasons are coming, it is important that children come to school with the appropriate clothing. 
Children need to be provided with a coat & warm outdoor clothing for play times. 
As the seasons get colder children may need scarf, gloves and hats. 
Please make sure every item of clothing is marked with your child's full name and class. 

Could all parents/carers make sure they are parking safely aside school, 
when dropping off or collecting children from school. 
The slip road into school must not be parked on at all. 
This must be kept clear for emergancies vehicles and staff leaving/entering the premises. 
People caught parking on the slip road will be asked to move immediatly. 
Under NO circumstances must the slip road be parked on.
Also, our neighbours driveways and grass verges must be kept clear. 

We understand that parking is difficult around the area and spaces are limited, 
but safety is a big thing and we need to try our hardest to stop any hazards or incidents. 

We have had several occassions where staff cannot enter or leave site due to people parking on the slip road, even right infront of the barrier. 
This cannot happen. 
In the past our neighbours have complained due to the bad parkinig. 

Lets all work together to make Timberley a happy and safe place for all. Inside and out

Please contact the school office 
if your child is ill and going to be absent from school.

 It is extremely important that children attend school every day. When children miss days off school they are losing valuable learning time. As a parent/carer you have a legal responsibility for ensuring your child attends school regularly. If your child is ill and cannot attend school, it important you contact the school office on 0121-4642002 to make us  aware. For safeguarding reasons we must know why children are absent from school, so they can be marked accurately on the register.  If your child feels poorly, but is well enough to come into school then this is fine. If your child’s illness progresses throughout the day, we will contact you to collect your child. If you would like to talk to someone regarding your child’s attendance please contact the office.

School is closed tomorrow, Tuesday 1st October 2013, for children from Nursery upwards. 
Children in Timberley Tots can attend school as normal. 

The forced closure will not affect children's attendance records, as it will be marked as 'Y' on the register. 
Which means an authorised enforced closure.

Please do not worry about tomorrow ruining your child's good attendance

On Tuesday 1st October 2013 there is a day of industrial action by the two main teaching unions,

Children do not come into school on Tuesday.
A letter was sent out this week, which can be downloaded below. 

School will be open as normal on Wednesday 2nd October 2013.
