Dear Parents,

We are writing to inform you that we are proposing a reduction in the published admission number (PAN) for our school. We have been working with Birmingham City Council to plan for the future, specifically looking at the falling pupil numbers across the city due to a fall in birth rates.

It is proposed that the published admission number relating to the admission of children into Reception from September 2023 onwards be reduced to 30. The present published admission number is set at 60.

A copy of our proposed admission arrangements for 2023/2024 are available on our school website and by visiting:
https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20119/school_admissions/1063/determined_admissions_arrangements_2022/3

To express your views as part of this consultation, please visit the Birmingham BeHeard website:
https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/people-1/proposed-admission-arrangements-for-september-2023/

Any comments received will be considered by the Trust Board during the Spring Term of 2022. The Trust Board will give full consideration to your comments before making its final decision on this proposal.

We hope you enjoyed the summer break and look forward to welcoming all pupils back to school on Monday 6th September.

Dear Parents,

We have been asked by the NHS to share the following information regarding respiratory viruses in children. If you have any concerns over your child’s health, please follow the advice in the leaflets provided below.

We are really looking forward to welcoming our Nursery and Reeption pupils into the Sutton Park Primary family. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we haven't been able to host our usual transition in the summer term. The EYFS team have made some short videos to introduce themselves.

We are pleased to announce that you will be able to pay online for items such as dinner money, school trips and uniform, using a secure website called ParentPay. ParentPay is replacing School Money. ParentPay will be our only method of making payments to school.

Please visit the ParentPay page on our website for further information.

In order to continue to support eligible parents and pupils with access to free school meals (FSM) during the February half term, Birmingham City Council have provided a one-off supermarket eVoucher for each eligible pupil in Reception to Year 6. Birmingham City Council have provided these voucher codes which can be redeemed online for a range of supermarkets.

If you are eligible and have received a text message from school with your digital eVoucher cheque, please follow these steps to order your supermarket eVoucher:

• Due to coronavirus the Birmingham Mobile Library Service is currently closed.
• If you still have books out on loan please keep them until libraries re-open.
• You will not get fined for late books during this period.

Whilst you cannot access physical books you can borrow eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, eNewspapers and eComics through the library service. You need to be a library member (for eBooks you also need to live in Birmingham). If you are not already a library member you can self-register on-line first.
