We like to keep our parents, children and local community up to date with all the latest school news and information. Our main forms of communication are below.

Please note our normal working hours are 0800 - 1630hrs Monday to Friday during term time and we do not usually deal with correspondence or enquiries via our online systems outside of these hours unless they are of an urgent nature

Our Website - www.carltoncolville.suffolk.sch.uk

Information about the curriculum, lots of photographs showcasing the children’s learning and WOW moments, school policies and general information can all be accessed via our school website. We always welcome feedback on our website so if there is something you would like to see please get in touch.

Class Dojo is used in school by the Class Teachers to keep in touch with parents and provide regular updates of exciting things going on in class by using the Class Story feature. Class Teachers 'invite' parents by sending and invite to their nominated email address at the start of the school year in September.

Nursery and Reception Classes use Tapestry to share classroom work and messages with parents. Parents are given Tapestry login details when their child joins the school.

As well as our website, we love to showcase our children's achievements on our twitter feed @ccpschool If you use Twitter give us a follow!

SchoolPing is our live communication app for schools. Parents download the SchoolPing app to their smartphone and are able to access key messages, letters and documents sent out by school. Parents are also able to communicate back to school such as giving consent to letters or signing up to parent meetings slots etc.

Parent Consultation Meetings

We hold parent meetings every term. We believe that this provides you with the best opportunity to discuss individual's progress with class teachers. Appointments can be made via our School Ping app. We are also happy to arrange meetings with individual parents at a convenient time if you there are any matters you wish to discuss. In this instance speak with the class teacher or the school office to arrange.

‘The Acorn’ Newsletters

‘The Acorn’ is a weekly newsletter containing a variety of school news, pupil achievements, learning opportunities and information designed to inform and support parents and children outside of the school. Copies are always available from the school website within the Parents section. Paper copies can also be viewed and picked up from our main office. A message is sent out via School Ping when a new Acorn is published.

Notice boards

We have several large notice boards around the school which contain information on forthcoming events and school information.

Letters Home

We regularly send home letters regarding sports tournaments, trips, news, and events. Please make sure you read the letters carefully and return any permission slips promptly. Letters home are normally sent electronically and permission slips completed via school ping.

Assemblies and Productions

All classes participate in a range of assemblies, productions and performances during the year. These include; nativity performances, year 6 leavers production, year 5 democracy assembly, Rocksteady performances, music performances (both in school and externally) e.g. Snape Maltings, a local care home and at our local church.

Annual Pupil Reports

All parents will receive a detailed report of their child's progress in the second half of the summer term. This focuses on all curriculum subjects as well as reporting on aspects such as attendance, learning behavior and effort.

We have received the following information regarding FISH ( Food in Schools Holiday) including details about how to book and where it's available. Outside of COVID they provide a hot meal plus craft activities over a lunchtime period, in a relaxed and friendly environment for families struggling to make ends meet. But due to COVID restrictions, for the past 18 months, they have been providing this service like a click and collect slot at the given venues. They provide a hot, 2 course meal for the whole family, not just the child. All you need to do is private msg on this site and you will be allocated a 10min collection time. https://www.facebook.com/lowestoftfish Please see attached for the venues across the town that are serving our community this Summer Holidays along with the details they have of meals going ahead at the moment.

Bag2School Clothing collection reminder

A reminder that the Bag2School collection bags need to be in school by Monday 12th July. See information below. We are pleased to announce that we have organised a clothes & shoe collection with Bag2School in order to raise funds for the school. Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools and since its inception in 2001 it has now paid out over £36 million. As well as raising vitally needed funds for the school, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year. By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles in the bag provided – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys, (please refer to http://uk.bag2school.com/ for full details). In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse. Please use any bin bag to donate your items and don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well! Bag2School will be collecting from the school on Tuesday 13th July. Please bring your bag (or bags!) to the school office by MONDAY 12th JULY - they can be brought in any time during July and we can store them ready for the collection. Many thanks for your continued support.

Just a reminder that you have until midday today to enter the draw for a Pleasurewood Hills Voucher - see below. Good morning As you will be aware, due to the current situation we have been unable to run Friends fundraising activities.

The winner will be announced by Friday 28th May. Please log on to your Scopay account and pay £2 if you would like a chance to win. Good luck everyone
