Bentley Weekly Update 13/03/20
The school office will be covered by different members of staff for a couple of weeks, so newsletters may not come out during this time. Important information will be emailed to parents as it comes up.
Coronavirus Update: A plan has been drafted across our local cluster of schools so staff and governors are well placed to act quickly on any updates from the PHE. Please stay updated by visiting https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public. We will continue to update you on any decisions which may affect school and our families.

Mothers’ Day Tea – Reminder - Due to the PTA Mothers’ Day Afternoon Tea, Family Assembly on Friday 20th March will be at 9:00am. Tickets are available from Aimee (Poppy, Hugo and Molly’s mum). As a school we would like to say a huge thank you to Aimee and her team for all the hard work they put in to making these events happen. Barely a day goes by that Aimee isn’t in the school laminating a poster or organising something. Thank you.
Spelling Bee Comp – All children from Adders class who are taking part in the Spelling Bee comp at EBHS on the 19th need to be at the memorial at 08:40am at the latest on the day please to meet the mini-bus. Thank you.

Reading Challenge – Keep up the good reading! Every child should be reading at least 5 times a week. Please record your child’s reads and support them to do as much as possible (older children can record their own reads).
Parent consultations – All Adders’ families are now booked in to meet with Mrs Robinson (well done you lot!). Hedgehogs and Wolves parents, please book in on the website if you haven’t done so already.
Further to the email (today/yesterday) regarding the Coronavirus. Unfortunately in our haste to keep everyone informed the first email included all parents email addresses in error. As you will be aware a second email was sent immediately asking that the original message be deleted. If you haven’t already done so we would ask that the original email is deleted from both your in box and your deleted items box.

We have reported this incident to our Data Protection Officer, Tracey Riches and formally recorded it as a data breach. In accordance with our data breach procedure we will also be reviewing our processes to avoid this situation happening again.
