Hertfordshire County Council PRIORS WOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL Positively Working together to Succeed Cozens Road, Ware, Herts SG12 7HZ Telephone: 01920 464135 Fax: 01920 466540 e-mail: www.priorswood.herts.sch.uk Headteacher: Mrs R Collins B Ed, NPQH 21st November 2018 Dear Parents and Carers, NIGHT OWLS & EARLY BIRDS BOOKINGS As you may be aware, due to staff changes we had to reduce the number of places in Night Owls for this current academic year from 24 to 16. I am very pleased to inform you that the recruitment process for staff for after school club has been successful, and we are now able to increase the number of places back to 24. We have taken into account the feedback from parents regarding the new system, and although ideally we would give plenty of notice for any changes in availability, we are also aware that a number of parents are desperate for places in Night Owls on particular days. With this in mind, we are increasing the places each day in Night Owls to 24 tomorrow, 22nd November, as near to 10.00am as possible. This will enable parents to have time over the weekend to make bookings for next week onwards. You may also be aware that at the moment the last part of the summer term 2019 (Monday 15th July onwards) is not yet available for booking places in Early Birds and Night Owls as when the new system originally went live it could only be set up for 12 months in advance. We will be updating both the Early Birds and Nights Owls booking systems on Tuesday 8th January 2019 at lunch time so that bookings can be made from Monday 15th July to Tuesday 23rd July 2019. This is over 7 weeks’ notice which should allow parents time to budget and to check their childcare requirements before the system is updated. We will update parents during the spring term regarding when the booking system will become live for places from September 2019 onwards, and again following feedback we will give as much notice as we possibly can to allow parents to budget for this and check their childcare needs. Yours sincerely, MRS R COLLINS Head Teacher
