Parents Evening
We will be holding our online parents' evenings on Wednesday 30th March and Thursday 31st March. Appointments are available to book. Please click here to make your appointment.
Reminder: TD Day Friday 8th April
Please can we remind you that school is closed to children on Friday 8th April. This is due to one of our planned teacher training days on that date.
Non- Uniform day – Friday 1st April
Wiltshire Youth Council has written to Wiltshire schools to propose that Friday 1st April be a day in which students can attend school in non-school uniform for a voluntary donation of £1. This is to raise money for The Ukraine Disaster Emergency Committee Crisis Appeal who are providing urgent humanitarian aid including food, water, shelter, healthcare and protection.
The children are welcome to come to school dressed in non uniform. If you would like to make a donation, £1 can be given to the class teacher or paid on ParentPay.
There are a range of resources which provide help for teachers and families to talk about the situation in the Ukraine.

FOMPS
FOMPS plan to hold a plant stall at the Monkfest Summer Fayre scheduled for Saturday the 25th of June. If anyone is planting seeds and would like to grow some extra to donate to the plant stall, it would be appreciated.
If you would like to build and display a Scarecrow for this year’s Royal Theme, the closing date for entries is the end of April. Please email Monktonparkscarecrow@outlook.com with your details.
We are still seeking volunteers for events on the sub committees and on the day of the events. Please come forward if you can help with the Scarecrow Trail or Monkfest. We need your help to keep these events running and raising money for the school. The current focus is the Bungalow.
Thanks
The FOMPS Team.
