Attendance and Punctuality

Art on the Hill

It is less than a month till BS3’s premier art event. On Saturday 3rd of October we are once again opening our doors to show off the fantastic art of our pupil community. 

Over the next few weeks children from reception to Year 6 will be hard at work combining creativity, determination and team work to produce something fantastic for the crowds. With the support of Lucy and Beth from ArtLab the sky is the limit and I hope you are looking forward to seeing the final pieces as much as we are. 

Next week,  the workshops will be:

• Monday 28th: Year 4 and Reception
• Tuesday 29th: Year 6 and Year 1

The children are likely to be using a lot of paint (and other interesting mediums) on some large surfaces during the workshops. On the day your child is doing their workshop, to prevent uniforms being covered in paint, they can bring in some old clothes (that you don't mind getting messy) to change into during the workshop. 

Thank you to our brilliant PTFA for funding this event and ensuring the children have such a high quality artistic experience!

Second-hand Uniform Team: Volunteers Needed 

Did you know that the VPPS Second-hand Uniform Team does much more than help families access affordable school uniform?

So far, we’ve saved over 161kg of jumpers from landfill, and our uniform sales contribute around £1,000 each year towards enrichment activities for our children.

We’d love a few more volunteers to join the team. The commitment is small, but makes a big difference. We need help with:

• Washing and labelling donated uniform: around two loads of washing per term

• Uniform sales: around one hour, roughly once a term

If you could spare a little time to help, please email our new Uniform Team address at vppsuniform@gmail.com.

Thank you for helping us keep uniform affordable, reduce waste and raise money for our school.
