| 15th March Parents' Evening Bookings If you have not yet booked a Parents' Evening appointment, please go online and book via Scopay. Online booking closes on Sunday 17th March at 5pm. Class Photographs Class photographs took place in school on Tuesday 12th March. Please use the information on the photo card if you would like to place an order. Sportshall Showdown A number of children will come home with a named letter today regarding the upcoming Sportshall Showdown event on Wednesday April 24th. As we are a relatively small school and the event involves 80 pupils, this competition includes nearly half of our pupils, and some children may be disappointed not to have been selected. We are keen to take as many pupils as we can, and would love to be able to take the whole school, but unfortunately this is not logistically possible. The aim of this event is to provide a platform for some of our keenest athletes to compete against each other, whilst also giving first opportunities to those who may not have taken part in such an event before. On this occasion, competitors aren't drawn at random. However, there is a significant amount of rotation from one year to the next and a large proportion of this year's athletes didn’t attend in 2023. In selecting the children, we try to look at giving some new children a chance each time. This may be because they are new to the school since the previous year, that they have impressed with their effort or ability in another area, because they were keen to participate last year and couldn't, or just because they deserve a turn. Opportunities increase as the children move through the school as we take a higher number of children from Upper School. For example, this year, every pupil in Year 6 has been chosen to participate. The reason for emailing is that we appreciate that there are always children who are disappointed to miss out, possibly because we didn't realise that they would be keen, and we would much rather know about this. If they have not been selected this year, and would like to be considered, please drop me an email or ask them to pop in to see me. In the event of illness or unavailability, we will obviously need to call on replacements and showing enthusiasm is a good way to be at the front of the queue! Failing that, we will certainly bear them in mind for future events. This was the case for a few children last year and they are hopefully pleased to have been chosen this time around. If your child has been selected, please return the permission slip as soon as possible (by Friday 22nd March at the latest), so we can pick the teams. If your child is not available / not keen to take part, then please let me know as soon as possible, so we can offer the place to someone else. However, if they are just a little unsure, and could be persuaded, then please speak to their class teacher or myself and we can hopefully explain the event and reassure them. |

Please go on ScoPay to place your order. Help Needed from Year 1 Pupils Dear Beech Class Parents and Carers, I am writing to ask for your help. Chesterton has been chosen by Sport England to take part in the Active Lives Children & Young People Survey and our children in Year 2, 4 and 6 have already completed their surveys in school. The reason we need help from our Year 1 families is that we are only a few pupils short of reaching a milestone that will qualify us to receive the maximum number of credits to access new sporting equipment (see below). Here are some more details. Active Oxfordshire are working on behalf of Sport England, together with Ipsos MORI on the Active Lives Children and Young People Survey. This is a survey carried out in schools to gather information about the sports and activity participation of young people. What will the research entail?
For taking part in the survey, Chesterton will receive:
Chesterton’s data will contribute to a district level report which will help to inform future provision of sport and physical activity and the support that Active Oxfordshire can offer schools. As you know, we are committed to physical activity and sport, so we would like our pupils’ voices to be heard on the subject. Therefore, we are keen for as many children as possible to take part. If your child does participate in the survey at home, please email me at (head.3082@chesterton.oxon.sch.uk) to let me know. House points are available! Kind regards, Mr Horner |
| 21st February: Scouting Founders Day Tomorrow - Wear Your Uniform We have been made aware that tomorrow (Thursday 22nd February) is a special day in the Scouting calendar as it is Founders Day. This is the birthday of Lord Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout movement. Baden-Powell's wife also set up the Girl Guide movement and they also celebrate this day as World Thinking Day. We have not celebrated this day before in school, but have had a request from a local group leader that any members are allowed to wear their uniform to mark the day tomorrow. As we know that we have pupils who are members of other groups (Beavers, Cubs, Rainbows, Brownies and Guides), we would like to extend the invitation to those children for this special occasion. Children should wear normal school shoes and please ensure that they have coats etc. due to the weather. Kind regards, Mr Horner A Few Requests Welcome back to the second half of the Spring Term. We hope that you had an enjoyable half-term break with your children. There are just a few reminders that we'd like to give regarding the start and end of the day.
Kind regards, Mr Horner and the staff team |
| 20th February: Children at risk through fuel poverty I am contacting schools in Bicester and the immediate surrounding areas as Oxfordshire County Council have received Home Upgrade Grant funding for domestic energy efficiency upgrades. We know there is a huge population of eligible residents in Bicester and in the surrounding villages, and children who attend your school may be living in cold, hard to heat homes, with little or no insulation. Through this grant, recipients can receive up to £38,000 worth of free energy efficiency upgrades, including insulation, solar panels, air source heat pumps, plus more, and we want to make sure that those who need it, receive it - hence why I’m sending this email. This Grant aims to help homeowners/residents save money off their energy bills, reduce their carbon footprint, and provide warm homes for those at risk of fuel poverty. The eligibility criteria is as follows:
Our Oxfordshire County Council retrofit team would really appreciate it if you could spread the word about this scheme via your school newsletter, or by having a poster up in your reception areas. Anything you do would help make a difference to the wellbeing of children at risk of fuel poverty. If you do have any questions or wish to know more about the scheme/ discuss it in more depth, then don’t hesitate to contact myself or get in touch through our retrofit teams inbox on retrofit@oxfordshire.go.uk.

Staffing update As you may be aware, Miss Daisy Trotter is leaving us at the end of this half-term to go travelling for a few months (we're all a bit envious!). This was pre-planned before her start with us in September and we were aware that her time with us would be relatively short, as she is then starting at university in the autumn. Although Miss Trotter has only been at Chesterton for a few months, she has made a very positive impact; not only to Ash Class where she spends the majority of her week, but also to Rowan and Oak Classes and wrap-around care. We were also particularly grateful for her role at the Kilvrough residential back in October. We may see her back at school in the summer when she returns from her travels but, if not, we wish Daisy all the best for when she begins her studies in Educational Pyschology in September. Mrs Hitchins has already settled in well to life in Ash Class and will be taking on the majority of Miss Trotter's responsibilities. Thank you for making her, and our other new staff, welcome since the New Year |
