September Week 1
Friday 06th September
We look forward to another promising year at Livingstone and would like to extend a warm welcome to our new pupils.
Over the next couple of weeks more children will be joining Nursery and Reception class from families who are new to the school. We welcome them into the Livingstone family and look forward to working in partnership towards educational success!
Mr Madle is working at Moss Hall for 4 days a week whilst they recruit a new Executive Headteacher. He is with us all day on Monday and is happy to have messages left at the office for him to pick up when he is in school.
All children need to have a PE kit in school at all times. Y1 and Y2 should come dressed in their PE kit ready to do PE every Wednesday for Creative Curriculum.
Under the National Child Measurement Programme, levels of obesity
across England are too high and levels of fitness too low. For Birthday Treats, please help us reduce the consumption of sugar by bringing in healthier options. Instead of chocolates, cakes and sweets you could
bring stickers, balloons or pencils.
Attendance and Punctuality
School begins at 8.50am and ends at 3.15pm. Please be punctual and please telephone if your child is away from school or write a note if you know in advance. It is most important to let the school know if another adult is collecting your child. Please remember that it is not permitted to take pupils out of school for holidays.

Read with me
