BMJ Weekly Newsletter
Head Teacher: Mrs Marie Hill
Deputy Head: Mr Mark Bennett
Welcome to this week’s edition of the Brinsworth Manor
Junior School Newsletter
Our School Values
Politeness, Fairness, Friendship, Trustworthiness,
Happiness, Pride, Respect, Determination, Courage,
Honesty, Teamwork and Cooperation.
Our values are important because they help us to grow
and develop. They help us to create the future we
want to experience.
Parent Consultation Week
Monday 25th – Thursday 28th March is Parent
consultation week. Appointments are now closed
via the online booking system. If you have not
booked an appointment please see your child’s
teacher for any available appointment times.
Please note Dolphin Class Parent appointments
are during the day on Monday 25th March, due to
the teacher’s working week.
Tag Rugby Fixture Night
This week the Tag Rugby U11’s played Whiston
Worrygoose away. Despite our best efforts
Whiston won 6-4. Well done to everyone who took
part. Next week the Under 9s play Canklow
Woods at home.
Easter Competition
As we had a very successful bake off during world
book day we would like to do the same for our
Easter competition. Please send in cakes or buns
with an Easter or Spring theme. The most
imaginative or creative design will win a prize.
Breakfast Club
We hope that the children are enjoying their
morning bagel slice. Unfortunately we can only
offer bagels to our Junior children as we only
have funding for our children.
Please let school know by calling the office as
soon as possible if you are interested in the new
Breakfast Club.
Behaviour on the Playground
Would all parents please ensure that they
supervise their children at the end of the day
whilst waiting for the Junior children to leave
pace!
school (3pm-3.15pm). This week school
equipment has been damaged and infant
children have been climbing trees. As someone
could get hurt, could we please ask for your
support in reporting these matters to school.
In addition, our children are learning until 3.15pm,
please do not knock on windows or doors as this
distracts the class and interrupts your child’s
learning. Once again we very much appreciate
those parents who are always supporting us!

Attendance
Just a reminder that our annual school target from
the local authority is 96.5% and at the end of every
half term you will receive an attendance letter.
These are to either congratulate pupils and
parents or to remind parents of attendance
figures and that the Education Welfare Officer is
available for support if needed. We always offer
support to ensure that you have all resources
available to you. Please contact school if you do
not understand the information in the letter.
We will soon be awarding all children with
