This is part of the school’s preparation for Fronter however, they would like to open this to any parents/carers from other schools wishing to attend. Tony does a very good session and I know he has already visited several schools across Taunton to work with parents/carers and upper KS2 children.
7. Lost Property Day
On Wednesday 3 February 2010 we will be having another ‘Lost Property Clearance Day’. All lost property we have such as trainers, PE Kit, coats, jackets, school uniform such as blazers, shirts, trousers, in fact, anything that is clothing, will be put out for the students to look at to see if any of their unlabelled lost property is there. Any more valuable lost property such as jewellery, watches, rings, memory sticks, or small items such as hair brushes etc. will be kept on the Student Reception for the students to request to see.
This will happen during break time and lunch time for students and after school for parents from 3.45 until 4.15pm. Any unclaimed lost property will later be donated to a local charity.

LETTER FROM THE FRIENDS OF THE CASTLE SCHOOL
Dear Parents/ Guardians / Carers
The Friends of The Castle School is a charitable organisation raising money to support the pupils and staff by providing extras funds to enhance the school environment.
We have always relied upon a small number of volunteers to organise and man events in order to raise this money.
This is becoming increasingly difficult with work and family commitments. As this is a familiar situation, we are now looking at a different approach.
To enable us to continue the current level of support it has been decided by the Committee and approved by the Governing body to ask each family in the school for a voluntary contribution to a ‘School Fund’.
The suggested contribution to the new ‘School Fund’ is £10. ***
Whilst this will not take the place of all the events it will mean that you, as busy parents, can feel you have contributed without feeling pressured into attending such events.
Please return your contribution to Mrs Rogers at Student Reception.
Thanking you for your continued support.
The Friends of The Castle School.
