This is about keeping our children safe near the roads adjacent to our school. There have been a number of reported incidents, where parents dropping off children have been inconsiderate with their parking and potentially committed an offence. I have had visits from our North Yorkshire Police School Liaison Officer as well as our PCSOs, who have allowed me to share the statement below and who will be monitoring the situation at key drop-off and pick-up times. I know that we are all busy people, and I also know that the Hunmanby Community spirit will work towards resolving these issues when they surface. Thank you for your support on this.

Welcome back everyone and I hope that 2025 brings health, wealth and happiness. We are already two weeks in to a busy term Spring Term, with both half-terms being 6 weeks long. As usual, we have a lot to pack in and I would encourage you to keep an eye on the ‘Diary Dates’ in this and further newsletters for up and coming events. Please use the normal methods of communication (ClassDojo, the School Office, Mr Fox or your child J), to clarify anything if required. You should have already received your Class Newsletter last week.

Here is the ‘Christmas Build-Up’ for our children that will give them that Christmas Spirit that is so important in Primary schools at this time of year. I have seen the dress rehearsal for the EYFS Nativity and it will melt your heart 😊.
It’s a busy two weeks to finish the term with many performances and parties to enjoy.

A new Road Safety Campaign
A message from the Governing Body:
Dear Parents,
I’m reaching out as both a governor and a parent to discuss an important safety concern that affects us all as members of our community—specifically, the need for a 20 mph speed limit and a zebra crossing on Stonegate Road.
As you know, Stonegate Road is a busy route that many of our children use when walking to school or playing in the neighbourhood. With the increased traffic and parking, it has become crucial to ensure their safety while they are out and about. A 20 mph zone would significantly reduce the speed of vehicles, allowing drivers more time to react to pedestrians, thus making the road safer for our little ones.
Additionally, installing a zebra crossing would provide a dedicated space for pedestrians to cross the road safely. This would not only give our children a clear path but also remind drivers to be more vigilant and considerate of children crossing the road, particularly during peak school hours.
By advocating for these changes, we can create a safer environment for our children and set a positive example of community action. I encourage each of you to support this initiative by sharing your thoughts with local authorities or attending upcoming community meetings and petition.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this essential matter. Together, we can work towards a safer neighbourhood for our children!
Warm regards,
Rachel Harrison
Parent Governor

World Diabetes Day
It is World Diabetes Day on Thursday 14th November. In support of children and staff in school, parents, family and friends within our community and elsewhere who have to live with this condition, we are all going to wear Blue colours as a show of solidarity on the day. That might mean that your child simply wears their blue school uniform, or they can wear blue non-school uniform if they wish.
World Diabetes Day (WDD) is the world’s largest diabetes awareness campaign reaching a global audience of over 1 billion people in over 160 countries. It is marked every year on 14 November, the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who co-discovered insulin along with Charles Best in 1922.

Parents Consultations & Reporting To Parents
This academic year, there is a change to how we report to parents:
Parents Consultation 1 (Monday 21st / Tuesday 22nd October)
Parents Consultation 2 (Monday 10th / Tuesday 11th February)
Written Report (format to be adjusted from 2023/24) – End of the Summer Term
Informal Parents Open Evening (Monday 14th July) – After Reports given out Friday 11th July
We have changed from last year because we feel that the timings for the Parents Evenings are better suited to get timely feedback to parents. A letter will shortly be coming out from the Office with a booking slip for the Parents Consultations in a few weeks’ time.
