"Ask For Jesse"

Have you heard about Boots' new scheme, 'Ask for Jesse'?

Boots UK is working in partnership with The Hygiene Bank to help close the hygiene poverty gap by providing free dental products to vulnerable families.

(Fun fact: Jesse Boot was the son of John Boot, who founded The Boots Company. However, it was Jesse that transformed Boots into a national retailer).

Well Done!

A huge well done to MB who entered a competition and won Easter crafts and a Scholastic membership for the school!! 🌟🌟🌟

🌼 Spring has sprung at Stanford! 🌼

The bulbs that were planted by Laceby in Bloom have started to bloom!!

Free Training Course

Dandelion Learning is offering a free training course to parents and carers of primary school teaching which will explore practical tips on how to help your child to foster a love of reading. We know from current research that children of all ages who read for pleasure perform better in all subjects. Reading for pleasure also builds empathy, improves wellbeing and has a dramatic impact on life outcomes. This 45 minute session is free to all parents who have children at primary school. 

 Choice of dates and times:

• Wednesday 30th March 2022 7pm - 7.45pm

Parking at School: a message from the Road Safety Education Team

“It has been brought to the attention of the Road Safety Team that parents at this school are parking dangerously and irresponsibly in the area around Stanford School and causing unnecessary problems for residents as well as safety concerns for the children/parents walking to school.

1. Yellow zig zag lines outside schools indicate the length of road where stopping is strictly prohibited during the times shown on the upright sign. In the case of Stanford School vehicles must not stop on these markings Monday to Friday between the hours of 8.00am to 9.00am and 3pm to 4pm. Any vehicle which is observed to be stopped on the zig zags may receive an instant Penalty Charge Notice.  The zig zags lines are there to safeguard children’s lives as they allow a clear view of the road.
2. The Single Yellow Line near the school indicates that drivers must not wait in these areas and are much the same as a double yellow line except they only apply during certain times. The hours of operation of the Single Yellow Line restrictions in this area are Monday to Friday 8am-5pm. Drivers are allowed to stop on Single Yellow Lines to drop off or pick up passengers however, this should only be where the driver feels it is safe to do so and the vehicle should only be stopped for as long as it takes to get the passenger in or out of the vehicle. If parents wish to accompany their child into school we would strongly advise they park in a location that is not subject to any parking restrictions, in order to avoid receiving a Penalty Charge Notice.

We have scheduled regular visits from the Civil Enforcement Officers to monitor the area and may issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) to parents parked in contravention of the markings.  These restrictions are in place for the safety of all children/parents at your school.

We thank all parents who comply with current restrictions and would like to take the opportunity to remind all drivers to park legally, safely and with consideration for local residents who live in the area.

The Road Safety team and Stanford School will work closely together to ensure the safety of ALL pupils going to and from school and take the appropriate measures to stop dangerous and illegal parking.”

Kind regards,
