New system for News / Letters

ds — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:00:27 +0000

For the new academic year we are trying a new system for getting letters / news out to parents. All news items will be posted on this page, and copies of letters home will go on this page.

We hope to have a system in place during the first term to get copies of letters emailed to those parents that want them, but in the mean time you can follow us on Twitter for notification.

If you are a parent awaiting confirmation relating to a uniform grant, there is a delay with the LEA due to technical problems. However a member of Olchfa’s support staff will come into school during the summer holidays to action/follow up the requests. Please return any necessary forms to the school as soon as possible. If you have not heard anything by the end of August, please contact Mrs Borland or Mrs Cutforth at the school on the 1^st of September after 10am.
