Easter Holiday Club

Does your child have Free School Meals?  If the answer is yes, your child could take part in our holiday club for FREE!  YACAD (Yorkshire Academy of Creative Arts and Dance) are running events next week for you to drop your child off at and it won't cost you a penny! 

To register your child for a free place, register them through the HAF portal https://bradford.haf.fun/login then once registered, you will be able to book your places on YACAD's website: https://www.yacad.co.uk/book-now

*School Dinners - Price Increase*

The price of school dinners is increasing after the Easter holidays as a result of increases by Bradford's Catering Team.  The new price for school dinners will be £2.30 per day.  We have tried to hold off these costs as long as possible but are unable to do this any longer.  The new price will be reflected on ParentPay when you pay for dinners in the normal way.

Communication - Arbor Parent App and Social Media

Thank you for your recent feedback at our Parents' Evenings.  One of the main areas for development for us was to improve communication.  We would like to thank you for your patience as we have transferred everything across to Arbor.  If you haven't already downloaded the Arbor Parent App, please can you do it as soon as possible as things will be shared via the app.

 

We also share information in a variety of ways:

• Facebook - Our page is Co-op Academy Parkland
• Twitter or X - Our page is CoopParkland
• ClassDojo - www.classdojo.com and search for our academy

Our weekly newsletter Parkland Post also gives you lots of extra information and reminders about upcoming events.

Attendance Matters

This week our whole school attendance has been 93.5% which is below the government target of 96%.  Our winning class with the highest attendance was Year 3 with 97.4% - they won craft packs and an extra playtime; well done!

And finally...

We would like to thank you all for your continued support this term, you make Parkland the fabulous place it is!  This holiday, Mrs Wierzbianski is going to visit her family, Mrs Shirra is going to New York, Mr Watson is going to his friend's wedding and Ms Pascoe is going camping.  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a brilliant time!

 

We will see you bright and early on Monday 8th April where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
