Uffculme School PTFA

Uffculme Students Run Plastic - Free Event at Tesco

On Saturday 23rd November, Uffculme School is running a Plastic Free event at the Cullompton branch of Tesco. The students will be presenting a family lunch and pudding idea using plastic free ingredients. The event will run from 9am – 12pm and will include information on what Tesco are already offering as plastic free options. Please come along and show your support for plastic free shopping. There will be an opportunity for you to share your ideas with the students. Remember to bring your own container for the Deli counter!

Remembrance Day

For Remembrance Day, Uffculme School students marked the occasion with a poetry reading from our Head Boy and Girl, followed by a wonderful student performance of The Last Post and a ceremony of lowering and raising the School flag. Students who are part of a uniformed group were encouraged to wear their uniforms on this day and all students had been enthusiastically wearing their poppies and respectfully participated in the commemorative silence.

Music Tuition

If you wish to cancel lessons please ensure you let Mrs Moyle in our Finance Office know as soon as you can on 01884 842904 or [email protected].

Parent/Tutor Evening—Wednesday 27th November

Please note that the booking system for the Parent/Tutor evening on 27th November (2.30-6.30pm) is open and parents should have received letters about how to make appointments. If you have any problems please contact Catheryn Cross on 01884 842916 or [email protected].

End of School Day Collection of Children Arrangements

If you routinely pick your children up after school, please note that we are making a slight change in arrangements to ensure that pupils are safe and supervised whilst they wait. In future, students will be asked to wait in the library if they are being collected after 3.50pm. This is a warm, supervised area, where they can study quietly and get homework done. Upon arrival at the school, you can either ring them if they have a mobile phone and ask them to come out to the car, or you can come to the front of the school and ask reception to get a message to them. Thank you for your support with this.

Student Achievements

Congratulations to Lily & Maisie Budden who competed in their first dance festival - the North Devon Dance Festival at Bideford. They performed as part of a group in two categories, and were delighted to win gold in both. Well done to you both!

Congratulations to Matilda Clothier in 10Mitir who recently won the John Way cup. She is the most improved player at Willand Tennis Club. Well done Matilda!
