  Coffee Morning - Thursday 2nd May

  Good morning,
  
  I hope all our families are well.
  
  We are going to be hosting our first coffee morning on Thursday 2nd May from drop-off (8:50am) until 10:00am. You are welcome to attend at any point during these times. Please feel free to have a chat with me, our Chair of Governors - Mr. Park-Paul, and other parents/carers. We are keen and interested to know from a parent/carer perspective what is working well, what we could improve and any developments we can share in regard to school improvement.
  
  We will be holding further coffee events this term, so please do not worry if you cannot attend this one as there will be other opportunities on different days/times in the future.
  
  We look forward to seeing you there if you can attend.
  
  Kind regards,

  Neily Races

  Good morning,
  
  Please see the below in relation to Neiley Races.
  
  The first Neiley Race due to take place next Wednesday April 24th has been POSTPONED
  
  This is due to the playing field being waterlogged following the prolonged period of rainy weather (much of it is very boggy with no likelihood of being sufficiently dry in time for next week's race)
  
  New Race dates
  
  Race 1 - Wednesday May 15th
  
  Race 2 - Wednesday May 22nd
  
  Race 3 - Wednesday June 12th
  
  I appreciate the second race is now the day Year 5 and 6 come back from Cliffe House and therefore it might depend on individuals if they wish to run this one or whether they think they will be too tired!
  
  Kind regards,
  Mrs Nicola Holgate

  Power Cut Update

  Good afternoon,
  
  We hope all of our families are well.
  
  Many of you will be aware that the Holme Valley is experiencing a power cut at the moment. We have been informed that this will be until at least 6:000pm. For us, this has affected our lighting and systems only. In light of this, we are currently preparing sandwiches and also a cold dessert for lunch. School will continue to be able to remain open and function for the afternoon.
  
  As our phone lines are down, please contact office@hinchliffemillschool.org.uk if you would like to get in touch.

  Parent Safeguarding Survey Update

  Good morning,
  
  We hope all our families are well.
  
  We have been made aware of some of our parents and carers being unable to access the safeguarding survey that was sent out yesterday. This seems to be an issue with users who have android devices. In order to support with this, we have included a QR code with this message that should solve the problem. Alternatively, if you copy the link and paste into your preferred browser, we have been advised that this should also potentially work. If you are still having issues, please do make the school aware so that we can communicate the survey in another way as we would not like parents and carers to miss out if they would like to complete the survey. The survey has been created using Microsoft Forms and Microsoft are aware of the issue.
  
  We are also reviewing our communication systems this term after some concerns raised around the current platform. If a decision is made to move to a new platform from September, we will of course be in touch with parents and carers to ensure a smooth transition.
  
  We also do really appreciate feedback as we are reviewing systems and procedures throughout school in order to improve. Please do contact our Headteacher, Mr Bond - damien.bond@hinchliffemillschool.org.uk or Chair of Governors, Mr Park-Paul - tom.park-paul@kirkleeseducation.uk if you feel they can be of any support during this time.
