In response to your requests for information on how to help your child at home, we will be posting the 'I can' target statements for each year group on the website. These targets will support you with helping your child at home.
Curriculum overviews are sent to you every 4 weeks. I hope you are finding them useful. Arabic, ESS and Islamic Studies continue to send out their curriculum coverage on a weekly basis.
We have some forthcoming events in Primary, which include:
• Black and Orange day - Thursday 27th October (photos to follow)
• Arabic Coffee Morning – Sunday 30th October 8-8:30 - Upper library
• Parent workshops from Years 2-6 coming soon (dates to follow soon)

Expectations of Behaviour and Uniform
At CES we have high expectations of our students in behaviour, appearance, attitude and equipment. We feel that these high expectations support the students in becoming well-rounded learners and achievers. Therefore, we would like to take a moment to remind you of some of our expectations.
Plain black shoes with no markings.
Earrings should be plain studs only. Girls should have long hair tied back neatly.
Boys should not have 'tracks' shaved into their hair.
Trainers are only allowed on PE days.
Behaviour: Expectations of behaviour are that students follow the school and bus rules to ensure the safety of all students. Students should arrive to school on time at 8am and be ready to learn. They should enter the school building calmly and to be aware of the high number of students entering at the same time. Before and after school there are no games/running around permitted in the quad or in front of the school. We would like to ask all parents that are picking up/dropping off their children to make sure they are being closely supervised.
Showbie...
We are now embracing the wonders of technology in Primary. Our children's education is far removed from our own experiences. As we debate the pros and cons of technology, Showbie allows us to develop a paperless trail of key information. This is a step forward in the 21st century. Showbie is a great communication tool and allows for interaction between students and teachers.
Homework is now communicated via Showbie and you will find all the materials you need weekly for your child once you login.
Written homework continues to be completed manually in your child's homework book. We continue to focus on writing as a skill and this will not be completed on Showbie.
From 1st November we will not be sending home paper copies of homework. It is now the expectation that as parents have signed up to the use of Showbie in line with our IT policy all communication regarding homework will be electronic.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,
Maureen Jarrett,
Head of Primary.
