Dear Parents and Carers  

  

I trust that this letter finds you, your friends and family in good health.   I hope you have had a restful Summer. It has been great to welcome your children back to school. We acknowledge how difficult this time is for some of your children, and we appreciate the anxiety that you and your child may be feeling. Please contact us if there is anything we can do to support you further.

 

I wish to congratulate our students who sat exams this Summer. There were many excellent results, and we wish all our leavers every success and happiness.

 

Following a few incidents with metal water bottle we are now requesting that pupils bring in plastic bottles. These should be no bigger than 500ml as any bigger as they will not fit under the water fountains.

 

Parent pick up – The Thanet Inclusion Support Service (TISS) no longer operates from our site. These two rooms will be developed this year to increase the offer and capacity of our school. The building will be renamed WAVE (Wellbeing And Value-based Education/We All Value Everyone). In future correspondence I will refer to the building and car park as WAVE. If you collect your child at the end of the day from the WAVE car park, from tonight pupils will exit from the new exit gate 10 metres from the existing one.

 

Pupil photographs – Our school photographer will be on site on Tuesday 9 September to take pupil photos. If you would like sibling photographs taken, can you please contact us at Secretary@lgs.kent.sch.uk. A letter with permission slip will be sent to all parents this week.

 

Best wishes

Les Milton
