Dear Year 6 Parents/Carers,

We are excited to announce that this year our Year 6 Leavers Performance will take place at The Dovehouse Theatre on Thursday 2^nd July 2026. Performing at the theatre makes the children's final show at Olton extra special and it's a lovely celebration of their time with us. The theatre has capacity for 162 seats and so as we have a year group of 90 children so we will be selling 1 ticket per child to start with. We will then do a second release of tickets for you to secure another one, on a first come first serve basis, if you would like to. If you would like to secure an initial first ticket, please reply to this form by Friday 9^th January 2026. After this date, the tickets will be added to Parent Pay with a cost of £4 each payable by Friday 30^th January 2026. Please be advised that if a ticket is not paid for by the payment deadline, it will be offered to someone else.

Thank you for your continued support.

An update on the above event.

Good afternoon, Parent/Carers of Year 2,

We wanted to make you all aware, the above trip can now go ahead, due to the kindness of a small number of Year 2 Parents who contacted me and offered and paid the shortfall that was outstanding.   

This is with a very special ‘Thank you’ to each of them.

Many thanks,

Mrs T. Chakmak

Finance/Wraparound Admin Officer

Good afternoon, Parents/Carers,

Mr Chamberlain has confirmed that due to the shortfall for the above trip he will make a final decision by tomorrow.  

As you know we rely on Parental Contributions for events/trips to go ahead, and should full contributions not be received for event/trips they would need to be cancelled.  Unfortunately, the school Budget is not in a position to cover the shortfall.  We have allowed as much time as we can regarding the payment due date, with this being last Friday.  As a school we have to comply with the terms and conditions for Venues/Coaches/Organisers, in order that we do not get charged should the event/trip be cancelled. 

Therefore, if you have not paid, and can pay, could you kindly make the payment of £6.70 by lunchtime tomorrow 16/12/2025 via ParentPay, in order that a decision can be made by the end of the day, as to whether we can go ahead or would it need to be cancelled.

Please note, If we do have to cancel and you have paid, you will receive a full refund.

Many thanks

Kind regards,

Mrs T Chakmak

Finance/Wraparound Admin Officer

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have previously shared with you the dates for our EYFS and KS1 Christmas performances this year and this letter includes the links you need to reserve spaces at the performance you wish to attend. Unfortunately, due to the capacity of our hall (which includes the children performing) we are only able to accommodate two adults per family. This could mean two people at one performance or one person at each of the performances. If you choose the option of one person at each performance, please complete two separate forms using relevant the link below.

This year, our Nursery and Reception children are performing together, as an EYFS phase, on Wednesday 17^th December at 9:15am and 2:00pm. Please use the link below to book a place at the performance you will be attending.

Dear Year 5 & 6 Parents/Carers,

Please be advised that due to this horrible rain we are not able to play Netball tonight.  Our luck with the weather this week hasn't been very good!  Please ensure your child knows their alternative end of day arrangement.

I'm sure the weather will be much better for clubs after Christmas.

Best wishes and sorry for any inconvenience.
