Message from the

Finance Office

Please be aware that all deposits for Activities Week must be paid by

Monday 26th November by 2.30pm. Failure to make payment

by the deadline will result in your child being unable to attend their

chosen activity. When making your payment(s) please do use ParentPay wherever possible; this will help the Finance Office to keep things

running smoothly despite the large volume of payments to be made. Please be aware - if you are in receipt of Pupil Premium, your allocation

cannot be used for deposits.

For any questions or concerns, please get in touch with Mrs Moyle on MoyleL@uffculmeschool.net Thank you.

Music Tuition

Invoices for music lessons in the Spring Term 2019 have now been sent out. If your child does not want to continue with their lessons please

inform Mrs Moyle in the Finance Office as soon as possible (MoyleL@uffculmeschool.net).

If your child is interested in starting music lessons, please contact Mrs Emma Luing-Holmes (Luing-HolmesE@uffculmeschool.net), Head of

Tutor/Parent Consultations

Tutor/Parent Consultations will take place on Tuesday 27th November between 2.30pm and 6.30pm; school will therefore finish for all

students at 1.15pm on this day.

General Arrangements:

Students who receive a free school meal may collect a packed lunch at breaktime (no lunches will be available after this time)

Buses will arrive at 1.15pm to collect students and take them home. Students who take a public bus will be escorted into the village to

wait for the bus.

Please note that you will not be able to have separate conversations with subject teachers at this event, as they will each have their own

tutor groups to meet. However, tutors will be able to note any subject specific questions or concerns you may have, and will relay these to the relevant members of staff. Specific subject meetings for all students will

take place later in the year. If you haven’t yet made your appointment, please call 01884 842916

(during school hours only) and ask to speak to Mrs Cross.

Student Achievements

Swimming Championships

Congratulations to Sam Arrowsmith, Ben Simpson, Wilf Arrowsmith and Sam Persey who represented Uffculme School in the National Team Swimming Championships on Saturday 17th November. The Championships were held at the London Aquatic Centre - home of the 2012 Olympic Games. The boys swam as a team in both the 4 x

50m Medley and 4 x 50m Freestyle races, having secured faster times than 164 other teams across the country. Only 30 teams made

it to the Finals and Uffculme was 1 of only 5 from the South West. Whilst they did not come away with medals, they had the most

amazing experience; knowing they were sharing the same starting blocks and lanes of some of the best swimmers in the world.

Student Achievements

Shakespeare for Schools Festival

"On the evening of Wednesday 14th November, Uffculme School students performed an outstanding version of 'Macbeth' at The Pheonix Centre, Exeter as part of the national Shakespeare for

Schools Festival. It was the first time that Uffculme has been a part of the world's largest youth Drama festival, so we were delighted

when tickets for the performance sold out! The audience was blown away by the passion, professionalism and courage of our students,

who once again demonstrated the extremely high standards, commitment and maturity that our young people are capable of. A huge well done to the cast of SSF 2018; you've made your teachers,

families and friends incredibly proud and should be so proud of yourselves. Amazing!" - from Mrs Duncan and Mrs Croft
