Newsletter No: 16 Date: 8 January 2008 Getting your views ? Parents? Questionnaire At the beginning of each Spring Term we seek your views in the form of a Parents Questionnaire. The Governing Body would like as many parents as possible to respond. Remember to return one questionnaire for each child that attends the school. Additional copies are available from the website or outside the school office. The questionnaire is also available in the form of an electronic survey and can be accessed using a link from our website (go to our home page, click on the ?Consultations? button and then on the link at the top of the page that appears ? or type http://www.broadoak.lancs.sch.uk/consultations.htm into the address bar. The results of the questionnaire will be collated by one of our governors and published in a future newsletter along with further action points to address issues raised. The overall findings will also be looked at by our Governing Body. For parents who do not have access to the internet, please find attached to this newsletter a questionnaire. All responses, electronic or paper based, need to be returned by Wednesday, 16 January. The governors also want your views about the additional services we provide. It is nearly four years since the Extended Learning Centre was started to deliver a range of services for families and the community, including childcare. We consulted this time last year and would like to re-evaluate another year on. The school contracts LCCS to provide our ?hot? and ?cold? snack and lunchtime catering service. We would also welcome your views about this service we provide and how you think it can be improved. Both these surveys are available on the ?Consultations? page on our website. Reminder: Christmas DVD A number of parents have expressed a wish to have a copy of our Christmas Performances on DVD with amateur recordings of the evening performances of both the Infant & Junior Departments. We are therefore offering this service again. Whilst most parents have returned the order forms by the deadline of the end of last term, we are able to take orders up to Friday this week (11th January). Orders and payment must be made by 14 January. The DVD costs £8.00. Please complete an order form below and return the amount in cash or cheque (made payable to ?Broad Oak Class Collections?).

Reminder: LCCS School Dinner Money and Healthy Tuck Shop Parents are reminded that the cost of a school dinner is now £ 1.65 a day, £8.25 per week. Parents are also reminded that the costs of snacks at morning break have also changed, as has the choice. The new tariff for Morning Break will be: ½ toasted Fruit Teacake - 15p Slice of toast ? 15p Fresh Fruit ? 25p Raisin Bag ? 20p Hot (warm) Chocolate ? 20p Fresh Milk ? 15p Extra Curricular Activities This school continues to be extremely proud to have dedicated staff who are prepared to give up their own time during lunch break or after a teaching day to give additional activities for our children ? at no extra cost to parents. Pupils? behaviour and commitment to the club is expected to therefore be exemplary and the member of staff running the club has the right to refuse attendance based on inappropriate behaviour and insufficient commitment. All parents should sign the slip at the end of this newsletter to give permission for their child to take part in an extra curricular club. If large numbers want to take part in a particular club we may look at organising a rota. Changes to club arrangements are displayed on the junior notice board and/or in weekly newsletters. Extra curricular clubs and activities will commence week beginning Monday 14th January. If an after school club has to be cancelled at short notice for any reason (e.g. very bad weather), parents will be advised by text.
