HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY,
MRS BAKER!
Today we celebrate the 70th birthday of our much loved and very much appreciated caretaker
Mrs Lesley Baker. Mrs Baker is a fantastic role model to us all – she is hardworking, loyal,
committed and always gives her all to ensure that Courthouse Green is kept beautifully clean.
We all wish her a very happy 70th birthday and thank her for her unstinting efforts at
Courthouse Green.

This week, the children had an assembly on the
importance of caring for one of our own in school,
and were asked to bring in a silver penny for Cancer
Research UK, in light of the news that one of our
students has been diagnosed with this horrible
disease. We have raised £303.55 for CRUK, so thank
you for your support.
Standards of Excellence
This term we have been talking to staff and children about our ‘Standards of Excellence’.
We all want the very best for our children and are together working on:
No Excuses - We want all children and staff to aim high.
Every Second Counts – time is precious in school and we want to ensure that the children make the most of their learning time.
Everyone Is Accountable - for ensuring that our children all reach their full potential.
Everyone Must Excel – We must have a high expectation of our self so that we are all aiming high.
Checking Book Bags
Please can we remind parents
and carers to check their
children’s book bags on a
regular basis, as we often send
home important information and forms which are
being missed.
Data Sheets
We have started sending Data Sheets home to
ensure that we hold the correct information for your
child in school. Please check that all details are
correct and make any necessary amendments.
Please ensure you sign and return this form (even if
no amendments are needed) to the school office by
Friday 17th November.

Bedtime Stories
This week we welcomed back into school our children from early years to enjoy a bedtime story – many thanks to all parents and staff who supported this event, I know how much the children loved it.
Reading is the most important skill that we teach our children – please ensure that you read with your child at least 3 times a week.
Parking in Heddle Grove
It was reported to us this week by a concerned
parent, that her child was almost run over by a
driver reversing carelessly in Heddle Grove. Can
I please remind you to drive with care and
consideration around the school entrances, and
be mindful of our neighbours too.
Own Books Project
Here at Courthouse Green we have been very fortunate to be part of the ‘Own Books’ Project founded by Julie de Bastion.
The Project allows children to take a book home free of charge with the choice to swap or change their book should they wish.
It has been a roaring success even after 10 months since we started the scheme, we would like to say a massive thank you to Julie for giving us this fantastic opportunity, the children are full of enthusiasm and excitement to be able to choose from such a variety of books.
If you have any unloved children’s books at home, please feel free to drop them into Mrs Boyce, this would help greatly to contribute to the ‘Own Books’ Project. Thank you.
Remembrance Sunday
This year there is a Remembrance Day Service and Parade on Sunday, 12th November 2017 at 10.50 a.m. in the War Memorial Park, if you would like to attend.
