Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely Christmas break and are as excited as we are to be back for the first term of 2023! Please find below some updates and reminders about the routines and arrangements in school this term. As usual, we will be sending home ParentMails throughout the term with further important information and details will also be published here on the website.

Illness

• The health and well-being of our whole school community: children, parents/carers and staff, are of paramount importance to us all. We continue to follow all Department for Education (DfE) and Public Health guidance in relation to COVID-19 and we have systems in place to help keep each other safe in school. If you are unsure whether your child is well enough for school, please visit our advice page by clicking HERE.

Wrap Around Provision

• Our Early Bird and Breakfast Clubs are available each morning – please ensure you pre-book by emailing Mrs Nix - debbie.nix@belmont.lincs.sch.uk.
• Belmont Explorers After School Club is also available. Please click HERE for further details.

PE

• The time table for term 3 is below.
• Children should come to school in PE kit on their PE days. For safety reasons, please ensure earrings are removed.
• We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of our PE kit expectations:

We expect children to be wearing shorts/tracksuit bottoms or suitable sporting clothing, a Belmont PE top or a plain white or burgundy t-shirt. They can wear jumpers/hoodies but they must be plain and suitable for physical activity. In these colder times, children can wear woolly hats and gloves for outdoor PE and suitable light weight sport jackets/water proofs.

School Clubs

School clubs will re-commence Monday, 9 January. If clubs are cancelled for any reason we will inform you via ParentMail as soon as possible. A copy of the time table for clubs can be found HERE.

Attendance

As you are aware, school attendance is mandatory and enabling children and young people to attend their education setting regularly continues to be a national priority. If you have concerns about your child's attendance, please contact the school.

We thank you for your ongoing support and are looking forward to another great term at Belmont. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch. Class Teachers can be contacted via TEAMS or the Contact Form on their class page of the website which you can access by clicking HERE.
