Dear Parents/Carers
The end of term has finally arrived and we couldn’t wish for better weather to start our
summer holidays. We have had a very busy few weeks and it has been lovely to see so
many of you at the various events.
School Production
The school production was a very successful whole school event this year. The children
enjoyed performing and singing in the production of Alice and were greatly supported by you.
Thank you for supporting us in enabling your children to take part in the evening
performances.
Sports Day
I have received many positive comments about holding our Sports Day on two separate
mornings. It was great to see so many parents, families and friends enjoying the events and
supporting the children. I think the children did amazingly well on Monday in the hot summer
sun. Congratulations to everyone who took part.
PTFA
A big thank you to Claire White and the PTFA for all the fantastic work that has taken place
this year to enable families to get to know each other and raise funds for our school. The
children in our school are fortunate to take part in and enjoy so many extra exciting activities
and experiences through the support and work of the PTFA. Thank you to all our school
community for supporting and helping in the recent school Summer Fair and Charmouth
Challenge. Maria Fox did a huge amount of work in organising the Charmouth Challenge
and Fun Run. A big thank you to Maria and to those who helped make the event such a
success.
E-Safety
Please find attached some important information about keeping your children safe on-line
this summer.
Charmouth Gardeners Annual Village Show
Children’s Classes
The annual show will take place on Saturday 13th August. The organisers of the event would
very much welcome children’s entries from our school. If you are interested in submitting
some work, please could all entries be submitted by Wednesday 10th August. An entry form
is attached with all the details of the competitions.
New Starfish Parents Meeting
We would like to invite you to an informal meeting on Friday 2nd September 2016 to
discuss any queries or issues regarding the start of your child's first school year. The
meeting will be between 2-3pm and care will be provided for your new Starfish if you require
it. This meeting will take place on one of our Staff Training days.
Year 1 Starfish
Year 1 Starfish will use the same route as Year 1 Jellyfish for
coming to and leaving school each day. They will come through the side gate on
the right hand side of the building and then through the gate to enter Starfish

classroom. Pick up time will be 3:25pm with the rest of Year 1, once again on
the right hand side of the school building.
Year 6
We wish all the children in Year 6 every success for the future. We hope that they will settle
well in Woodroffe and enjoy the next phase of their education. The children have been very
busy over the last few weeks preparing and performing in our summer production, cooking,
preparing and hosting a Thank You coffee morning and putting together a Leavers’
Assembly. Best wishes from all your friends at Charmouth Primary School.
Hoodies
The children in Year 6 have been presented with a hoodie or a gift voucher to mark the end
of their primary school days. The PTFA has generously donated funds to purchase these
gifts. Thank you!
Mrs Case
Mrs Case is leaving today to take up a position of Support Services Manger at Mountjoy
School. We wish Mrs Case all the best in her new role and thank her for all the fantastic work
that she has done for our school. She will be greatly missed.
An advert for Mrs Case’s replacement will be on Dorset For You during the summer holidays.
Clubs
A new list of Clubs provision will be published at the start of the autumn term.
After School Care
Due to a very low response for After School Care, we are not yet in a position to start this
provision. If there is more interest in the future, the school will reconsider implementing it. In
the meantime, please let me know if you have an interest in this care.
Circular Walk form Lyme Regis
Please find below some information that has been forward about the Circular Walk from
Lyme Regis
Distance: 6 miles (add another 0.5 mile if starting from the Cobb)
Start/Finish: Holmbush Car Park DT7 3HX (£2.00 all day)
Grading: Mainly moderate with one very steep climb
Summary: The route follows the coast path from Lyme Regis to Whitlands, turning inland on
a newly installed permissive path, which loops round back to the coast path at Pinhay Cliffs,
taking in wonderful views of the Dorset coast from Lyme Regis all the way to Weymouth and
Portland in the East.
Important Note: The only access to this walk is from the coast path. The land surrounding the
permissive path is all privately owned and there is no public access inland from the route.
News about other aspects of the South Coast Path is expected to follow.
