Notice of PTFA Annual General Meeting (AGM)

The next meeting of the Uffculme School Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) will take place on Tuesday 2nd April at 7pm in the school Dining Hall. Parents, carers and staff of Uffculme School are

and events that would not normally be affordable from the school budget. The AGM will be followed by the first Christmas Craft Fair

planning meeting, so if you’d like to be involved or find out more about this popular event, do come and join us!

Year 9 Immunisations

All Year 9 parents should have received information about forthcoming vaccinations against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio and Meningitis by email. The letter can also be seen on the website under Student Life/Letters

Home/Year 9.

Activities Week Payments All Activities Week payments will be due by Friday 26th April. This is particularly important if your child is attending a

residential trip, as we need to have payments in on time in order to confirm the bookings. Please be aware that you can make payment in

instalments of any amount, at any time until the deadline on 26th April; we strongly advise you to make use of this option, to reduce the

chance of encountering financial difficulties if payment is left until close to the deadline. Unfortunately, if payment is not made by the deadline, your child may not be able to attend their chosen activity.

Music Tuition Music tuition invoices for lessons commencing after Easter have now been sent out. If you are planning to cancel your child’s music tuition, please contact Mrs Moyle in the Finance Office as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of the items above, please contact Mrs Moyle on 01884 842904 or

MoyleL@uffculmeschool.net Thank you.
