DEAR PARENTS & CARERS
It has been exciting to see the snow fall this week, although the sudden drop in temperature has been less enjoyable!
We have recorded our contribution to the DGAT advent calendar this week. We are looking forward to seeing the finished product. A big thank you to Mrs Crampton for sprinkling her usual ICT magic!
Mrs Gravestock has been off school over the last few weeks due to personal reasons, unfortunately her absence will continue until the end of the Autumn term.
This means that there will be no crossing support until after the Christmas holidays. Please do not park near junctions or crossing points in the mornings or after school, as pedestrians cannot see around the cars to ensure it is safe to cross.
We also require someone to cover lunchtimes, in Mrs Gravestock’s absence.
We need a Midday Supervisor from 12:00 to 1:45pm Monday to Friday until Friday 20th December. This role will require an enhanced DBS check.
The role involves:
-
Putting out the tables and chairs before lunchtime
-
Supporting children while they eat their lunch in the hall
-
Outdoor break duty
-
Cleaning the tables and hall after lunch break
-
Putting the tables and chairs away
If you feel that this is something you are able to do, and can start as soon as possible, please speak to Mrs Russell in the school office or email admin@amb.dgat.org.uk and she will give you an application form.
​
Following on from a School Council meeting with Mrs Hamilton, where we get all sorts of exciting requests, we are seeking a volunteer to run a cooking club in the Spring Term with a group of children. We were wondering if there were any parents, relatives or members of our community that would be interested in supporting us with this? It would be on a weekday (day to be discussed) from 3.15-4.15pm. If this is something you think you could help with, please let us know. We would be very grateful.

AMBERLEY SCHOOL IS CARBON NEUTRAL!
We have succeeded in raising enough money to buy an offset to remove from the atmosphere the 32.19 tonnes of CO2 Amberley School's electricity and gas produced last year. We hope you enjoy watching the bees coming to your bee friendly plants next summer!
