Welcome back after the half-term break. I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable time with your families. We are pleased to share our fortnightly newsletter with you, now arriving on its new publication day of Thursday — this will continue for the remainder of the year. We recognise that many of our families are observing Ramadan. Please refer to the letter sent before the holiday, outlining our position on fasting. As a reminder, only pupils in Years 5 and 6 are permitted to fast, and this is subject to the school receiving written parental consent. We have received a small number of requests from children asking for a designated space to pray during the school day. While we fully respect their reasons, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate this request. Although the mornings and evenings are becoming lighter and spring is approaching, temperatures can still be changeable. Please ensure your child continues to bring a coat to school each day. Thank you for your continued support. At Farnham Green Primary School, we believe in supporting our families beyond the classroom. Below you’ll find helpful resources and local services available to Redbridge residents. Whether you need parenting advice, financial or housing support, or help with your child’s wellbeing, the services listed can support you: Farnham Green Primary School - Help
