WHAT’S
HAPPENING?
PARISH COUNCIL
At our
July meeting, Neville Whitely informed us that Test Valley Borough Council
(T.V.B.C.) were to consider changes to our waste collection service to help
meet Government re-cycling targets. We would, he told us, be consulted at
various stages. However, this has not happened and we have now heard that it
has been agreed by the Executive Committee at T.V.B.C that trials on a
bi-weekly collection will begin next year.
On this
subject it has been brought to our attention that some person or persons are
dumping their green garden waste onto the recreation ground at the rear of
Thorngate, PLEASE DON’T.
Concern
has been expressed by some residents of children cycling and skateboarding
across the road at the junction of
Finally
with reference to the mobile home dumped at the side of the road at Frenchmoor.
Since May we have been informed that civil action is being considered by
Hampshire’s legal department. I have also asked Michael Woodhall H.C.C to help,
we await the outcome with interest.

A very big welcome to everyone, to familiar faces from last
year and to all the new ones. We
especially welcome Mrs Chris Lovelock who has joined us this term. Mrs Lovelock was previously working in a
school office in
The new school dinner menu is proving popular with the pupils and staff alike. All the food is prepared from scratch by Mrs
Goulding and cooked on-site. There is no
pre-packaged food on the menu at all now.
We have definitely noticed the improvement and would encourage pupils to
try a meal soon.
This year we have decided to provide free fruit to all our
children. We are hoping that the PTA
will agree to fund some or all of the cost of this, amounting to £600 for the
year. This is to show our continuing commitment
to being a healthy school. The fruit
will be given out at morning break. If
your child does not want a piece of fruit (and believe it or not, some children
don’t) please provide a healthy snack instead, e.g. dried fruit, yoghurt,
cereal bar, sandwich – no crisps or chocolate please.
May we remind parents that children should not arrive at
school until 8.45 a.m. From this time
there is an adult on duty in the playground until 8.55 when the children go to
their class for the register. School ends at 3.15 p.m. Pupils being collected will be seen out of
the gate at the bottom of the slope by a member of staff – please could parents
wait inside the gate at the office end of the building. Pupils going home on
the bus will be seen onto the bus by Mrs King and they exit through the other
gate.
There is not a lot of room on the pavements outside of
school, which is why we ask you to wait inside the gate where it is safer for
you and the children. Thank you.
