LAKE FARM PARK ACADEMY In this issue Newsletter Issue 1 September 2014 The LFP Way What a Fantastic Start Free School Meals Breakfast and Afterschool Clubs Attendance Help Please Feedback Contacting Us Lake Farm Park Academy opened for our very first children on 8th September 2014. The building was l o o k i n g b r i l l i a n t , th e classrooms bright and colourful, and the children incredibly smart and grown up. I felt very proud and continue to do so at the way the term has begun. Thank you so much to our children and families for making the beginning of term such a success, an d to our committed staff for working so hard during the week prior to opening to get the school ready. The LFP Way is built around four core values: Show respect Be a role model Tell the truth Aim high Free School Meals for Reception What has been particularly impressive is to see all of our Reception children wearing full school uniform. Thank you to our parents for ensuring our children all take pride in their appearance; let’s keep up the high standard we’ve set for ourselves. Alongside this is the importance of good attendance. Attendance during our first week was 100%! Again, let’s keep up the high expectations by ensuring our children attend school every day. Excellent attendance is key to successful learning. Mr C Horsman - Head of School News and Notices The LFP Way Over the next few months, you will hear us often referring to The LFP Way. So what is the LFP Way? It outlines the culture, vision and values that we expect every member of our academy community to aspire to and uphold at all times – children, staff and families. Everything we do will be in the spirit of The LFP Way – learning, attitudes and behaviour. By following the high expectations defined by The LFP Way, everyone will have the best possible opportunity to achieve their best and develop their talents and skills. Page 1 Children who consistently uphold the principles of The LFP Way will be rewarded in our regular celebration assemblies. In our October newsletter, I look forward to naming our first Learning Stars, Attendance Stars and Behaviour Stars! Most families are now aware that if you have a child in Reception you do not need to pay if you wish them to have school lunches; very good news. I hope that most families will make the most of this as it is wonderful for the children to have a daily hot meal at school. Breakfast and After School Clubs Both clubs open on 29th September. Breakfast Club runs from 8:00am - 8:45am. After School Club runs from 3:15pm - 5:30pm. Currently, both clubs are open to Reception children only. If you wish to book a place, please speak to our office team by telephone or in person. Places are only available if booked in advance.

Help Please Children occasionally have accidents at school which require a change of clothes. If you have any old jumpers, pairs of trousers, T-shirts or underwear in good condition, that you could donate to the school so that we have an emergency supply, we would be most grateful. Please leave anything you could help us with at the main office. Thank you in advance. Feedback We hope you have been pleased with your child’s start to the term.
