1. Easter Holidays School finishes at 2 pm this Friday, 30 th March for the Easter holiday. After School Club is available until 4.30 p.m. that day. We re-start at 8.55 a.m. (or from 7.45 a.m. for Breakfast Club) on Monday, 16 th April when the Year 5’s and 6’s will be leaving for (we hope) sunny Dorset. May I take this opportunity to wish you a very happy holiday. A few weeks ago, some of class 4 went to Newent School for an inter-school gala. We swam against Huntley, Redmarley and Hartpury. It was a difficult competition as all the schools there were VERY good! Nine people got into the finals, either as first place or fastest second. The year 6 boys’ freestyle relay came first in their race, so well done Adam, Bryn, Elliot and Josh Kell! The year 5 girls got through to the finals in the medley relay. Congratulations Chloe, Jess, Amelia & Hattie! And lastIy, I (Megan) got through in the year 6 girl butterfly individual. We do not know if we will be able to go to the finals as due to a clash with another final they have suggested alternative dates, but we cannot go to one of the dates because we are at PGL.

It seemed that everyone had an enjoyable time – the hockey tournament was certainly enjoyed by Class 4. In excess of £300 was raised, which will be helpful for the transport fund, from which all pupils benefit.. 29-03-12 1 Staunton & Corse C of E Academy SWIMMING GALA

Thank you for your support at the recent Book Fair, and for the super costumes provided 29-03-12 2 Jennie Dwight - Headteacher Staunton Times Y3/4 Rugby Tournament Players from Y3 & 4 (Finlay Rayner, Oliver Richardson, Ethan Adams, Henry Larkins, Joél Carter, Jasmine Lowen, Alfie Oakey, Dannie Mann and Anna Moody, Oscar Parr, Fred Houldey) recently took part in a rugby tournament at Highnam School. Despite some serious opposition from Highnam & Hempsted A and B teams we managed 2 wins out of 5 matches – an excellent result after only a limited number of coaching sessions. Swimming - Years one and two will start swimming lessons after the Easter holidays. Lunch Money Please note that Edwards & Ward have increased the price of a school lunch to £2.10 from 16 th April. for the children to start our book week. We took over £400 and around 35 books are now in the library as a result of this. BOOK FAIR PARKING AT SCHOOL Please could all drivers park only in the allocated bays. It is amazing to see cars blocking the line of sight to the pedestrian crossing by parking in the coach bay when there are plenty of spaces in the main car park. Please consider the safety of all pupils. PE Kits & Daps Please could all parents check that children have a PE T-Shirt, Shorts and Daps with them in school every day. Could Class 1 parents please check that their children have daps that fit them for use after the Easter Holidays. Football versus Redmarley! On the 21 st March here at Staunton and Corse we played against Redmarley. We put in an excellent performance and won the game 6-0. Everybody played their part, but Jack Blackwell deserves a particular mention as he scored a hat-trick. Another fine performance from goalkeeper Elliot Finch again meant the team failed to concede any goals – Elliot even managed to score, whilst in goal!
