Proposed Dunchurch Schools’ Amalgamation

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) has now issued the consultation document regarding the proposed amalgamation of the infant and Junior schools in Dunchurch, and a copy of this has been sent to all parents. There are a number of points raised in it which might affect our school and our children to varying degrees and the Chair of Governors & the Acting Head Teacher have explained some of these issues in a separate letter to parents.

They have asked parents to write to Phil Astle at WCC as described at the very end of the consultation paper to express your views. To aid this process there is a standard letter template ; please feel free to amend or add to the letter so it can convey your point of view.

The template can be downloaded by clicking here.

WCC have set up two meetings to discuss this for parents and prospective parents of the proposed Dunchurch Primary School on 18th May at our school and 20th May at Dunchurch Junior School.  You should try to go to one or both of those meetings – certainly our school needs your support at the one on the 18th to clearly demonstrate to WCC that this matter is important to us, our current pupils, our future pupils and our local communities.

    Quiz Night – 27th February 2010

    7.30pm, Saturday 27th February, Bourton on Dunsmore Village Hall

    After the huge success of last year’s quiz, we are planning the same format this year. The bargain ticket price of just £7.50 includes a hot supper (and we will have the same superb chefs as last year so you know you wont go home hungry!). There will also be a cash bar, with lager, beer and local real ale (so leave your cars at home and book a taxi) and a raffle with great prizes.

    You can either enter as a complete team of 6, or buy single tickets and we can match you up with a team – it’s a great way to meet other parents if you are new to the school.

    Tickets are on a first come, first served basis. You can call us, email or let us know how many tickets you need via the red bags:

    Claire McGregor – Cameron (Y1)
    Lynne Greaves – Lucy (Y1) and Sophia (Nursery)
