We are excited for our Showcase mornings next week! Please see the flyer below for dates and timings!

Please note, if your child does not have something spotty for Friday, you do not need to go an buy something new! Children are welcome to come standard non uniform! We have had requests from children asking if they can come in PJ's and Pudsey Onsies, as it's Children in Need, we've said they can! 

There is a suggested donation of £1 which can be made via ParentPay.

 

On Monday 13th November 2023, we are inviting children (and staff!) to wear ODD SOCKS to raise awareness for Anti-Bullying week!

More details below!

Dear Parent / Guardian,

We are pleased to announce that Friends of Chetwynd has organised a clothes & shoe collection with Bag2School to raise funds for the school.

Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 1999 it has now paid out over £48 million.

As well as raising vitally needed funds for Friends of Chetwynd, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However, it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.

By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys, (please refer to https://bag2school.com for full details). In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse.

If you fill the donation bag and still have more then you can use any other bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!

Bag2School will be collecting from Friends of Chetwynd on Wednesday 8th November 2023. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to Chetwynd Junior School (drop off is by the tree near the car park inside the gates) and help us have a really good collection.

Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity.

Yours faithfully

Friends of Chetwynd

We are pleased to inform you that our 'trial' collection of children at the end of the school day was a success during the last week of last half term. Therefore we will continue with the new collection arrangements.

Please be mindful when leaving the Year 3 and 4 playground that you keep to the left of the footpath, allowing parents/carers who may be running late to gain easy access to the footpath when collecting their children.  If you have younger siblings with you please ensure that they are with you at all times.

Thank you for your continued support.

We are excited to announce that there will be a FREE Online Safety workshop for parents, presented by Katherine Howard from Smoothwall, on Wednesday 29th November from 7.30-8.30pm.

 

Warwickshire ICT Services have invited Kat to talk to your parents about how they can keep their children safe online. Kat has been working in, and with, schools for over 18 years to develop their understanding of Online Safety and support school leadership teams to implement and embed policies, procedures, training and committees. She is passionate about the importance of online safety in schools and the wider community and provides advice and support on a day-to-day basis. 

 

During this workshop, Kat will give parents lots of practical hints, tips and activities to support your young people in this environment. She will also discuss how parents can keep their knowledge about this ever changing landscape current.

All items that we sell are available from local Poppy sellers as well, so please don't be disheartened if we run out. All items are widely available from Poppy stalls across Nuneaton. 

We have attached a price list for items available.
