• Broxtowe MHST Meeting

  Fri 16 Sep 2022

  Dear Parent/Carer,

   

  We would like to take the opportunity to introduce a service available to our families.

   

  The school’s link with Broxtowe Mental Health Support Team (MHST) can offer support for a range of needs including sleep, behavioural difficulties, fears, anxiety, worry and other areas you may need support with.

  They are able to work with school to deliver specific support or they can offer bespoke support to you and/or your child either in school or in your home.

   

  The team will be coming into school on Wednesday 28^th September at 2.00pm to give a presentation about their service in the hall at our Meadow Lane site.

   

  You may not need their support now but it might be useful for you to know about the service for the future.

   

  Come and join us to find out what their service can provide and how you can access it.

   

  If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

   

  If you are planning on attending please complete the online form via this link https://forms.office.com/r/PWLY3iYSrJ to give us an idea of numbers. 

   

  Yours Sincerely,

• Aspirations Fortnight

  Tue 26 Apr 2022

  Dear Parents/Carers,                                                                                                                                                             

  The Lanes Primary School will be holding our first Raising Aspirations fortnight across school this half term. The children will have the chance to meet adults from a variety of professions and learn about the values, characteristics and skills required to succeed. We are also hoping that this fortnight will encourage the children to think about how they will contribute to their local and wider community when they are older.

   

  We need YOUR experience!  We are looking for a variety of people interested in spending a couple of hours talking to small groups of children about their career or how they achieved their dreams. Many of our children are unaware of the career opportunities and experiences available to them. This is a fantastic way to provide them with first-hand knowledge of potential career paths and educational routes.

   

  To that end, we are seeking parents/volunteers representing a wide range of careers who would be able and willing to be our representatives of their career on one of the following dates below. Please note you can suggest family members or friends as volunteers. They will need to be available from 1:30pm until 3pm on the day and may bring equipment, uniform or examples of their work, though this is not necessary. The children will have the chance to ask questions and learn more about the different careers available in a carousel style format.

   

  If you or somebody you know is able to offer their time for one or more of the following dates, please let us know by completing the form via this link https://forms.office.com/r/hGVjjyyGPF

   

  Below are the dates for each year group – you do not necessarily have to attend the same session as your child’s year group.

  Reception	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3	Year 4	Year 5	Year 6
  Tues 17th May 1.30pm – 3pm	Weds 18th May 1.30pm – 3pm	Mon 16th May 1.30pm – 3pm	Thurs 19th May 1.30pm – 3pm	Mon 23rd May 1.30pm – 3pm	Thurs 26th May 1.30pm – 3pm	Fri 20th May 1.30pm – 3pm

   

  We will reply by email to any volunteers on or before 11^th May 2022.

   

  We really hope that this fortnight will give our children an understanding of what they could aspire to in years to come, both in terms of further education and future careers, and that they will go on to realise their full potential and fulfil their aspirations for the future.

   

  If you have questions please do not hesitate to email or pop into the office.

   

  Thank you in advance for your support and involvement.

  Yours sincerely,

  The RSHE team

  We were blown away by your generous donations of toiletries for the people of Ukraine - at one point it was becoming difficult to walk through the foyer such was the large number of items donated! Thank you for donating so much in a short period of time.

  Thanks must also go to the staff of Alphabet House Day Nursery who supported us with this campaign by sharing it with their parents.

• Defibrillator Fundraising Appeal

  Sun 06 Feb 2022

  
  Dear Parents/Carers

  
  The Year 6 Ambassadors are planning fundraising events so that we can buy two community Defibrillators one for each of our school sites.

  
  We know that to keep our hearts healthy we need to eat a heart healthy diet. But we also know how important it is to do regular physical activity. Regular physical activity can also help strengthen your bones and muscles. It can help you feel more energetic, happier and relaxed.

  
  As part of our Healthy Hearts for Half term programme we will be encouraging everyone to be more active whilst raising money for the school to buy the Community defibrillators.

  
  Our Healthy Hearts for Half Term will begin on Friday 11th February where we will be selling skipping ropes, frisbees, parachutes and lots more on each playground from 8.30am in the morning, look out for our posters and our video on the school website https://www.thelanes.notts.sch.uk/school-ambassadors/

  
  The activities will run throughout the half term week. We would love any support you can give your child with their fundraising, by asking your friends and family to sponsor them using the attached sponsor form. It could be 100 hops, skips, run a mile each day, bike miles, swim or even do a triathlon with a group of friends or family or even your dog. You choose which physical activity you want to do so we can raise as much money as possible.

   

  Sponsorship donations can be brought to school or paid on Squid through the ‘Trips and Offers’ purse.

   

  We hope that you will support your child and The Lanes in this community event.

   

  From The Year 6 Ambassadors Mollie, Zachary, Evie, Sam, Olivia, Josh, Linden, Nuolin, Poppy, Freddie, Holly & Attie

• Medication In School

  Mon 10 Jan 2022

  10 January 2022

  
  Dear Parents

  
  MEDICATION IN SCHOOL

  
  Following a review of our medication policy at a recent governors meeting, we are writing to inform you of the changes that have been agreed.
  In most circumstances, medication (eg antibiotics) prescribed three times a day can be taken at home – before school, after school and before bedtime. However, if prescribed medication needs to be taken four times a day we can administer a dose during the school day, clear written instructions must be provided and the medicine must be kept in a properly labelled container. The label must be clear and free from alterations or defacement and must show:
  • The name of the medication
  • The name of the student
  • The dosage and any specific directions for the medication (not simply “as directed” or “as required”)
  • Precautions relating to the medication (eg “caution, may cause drowsiness” or “store in a refrigerator”)
  • The name of the dispensing pharmacist/doctor
  • The expiry date and the date of issue
  The use of non-prescribed medication is generally discouraged but we recognise that very occasionally pain relief may be required. Paracetamol & Ibuprofen are the only non-prescribed pain relieving medication which may be administered and only if a medication consent form has been completed by the parent/carer. Without this consent paracetamol/ibuprofen cannot be administered.
  If your child regularly suffers from acute pain such as migraine, you may authorise and supply appropriate painkillers complying with the details as above for ‘Prescribed Medication’.
  Students with asthma should carry their inhalers with them at all times. Both the inhaler and spacer (if required) should be clearly labelled with your child’s name and class. We will be sending home all inhalers and spacers at the end of each term for you to check the date/contents and also to enable you to clean the spacer. It is your responsibility to ensure the inhaler is returned at the start of the new term.
  If your child has been prescribed use of an Epi-pen this will be kept in the school office for emergency use. You will need to complete a health plan document which we will send home with your child.
  All medication will be sent home with your child at the end of each term – if the medication is ongoing you will need to return it to school at the start of the new term. If you have medication in school which is not currently being administered to your child we will send you a text requesting that you come to school to collect it.

  
  Yours sincerely
  Mrs Revill

  Head Teacher
