Schools 50th Anniversary
As you may be aware school celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. To help us look back into our past, we are asking for any old school photos to be brought into school for a display later in the year. If you can bring in any old ‘snaps’ please can you put your name with them (so they can be returned) and a brief explanation of the photo.
Inset Days and Half Term closure
School is closed to all children from end of school on Friday 10th February until Tuesday 21st February due to half term and an INSET day on Monday 20th February.
New Build
The building work for our new classroom is now complete. Year 1 have moved out of the mobile and are now enjoying their lovely new classroom. We still have some final building work to complete but the main contractor is now off site. Much of the fencing will still be in place until the service road is removed. We have now moved some of the fencing to allow access to the Infants by the rear of the school. You will notice an area where the ground is under repair, please keep off this area to allow it to return to grass.
As of Monday 6th February the children in Miss Dobbs class will be dismissed from the back door of the new classroom. This can be accessed either by using the back gate and the rear path or by using the front gate and walking around the path behind the Infant classes.
Reception will continue to be dismissed as they usually. Y2/1P will be dismissed via their back door and Y2/1FC will be dismissed via the doors onto the playground as they have been previously this year.
Can I ask that parents remain off the Infant playground in the morning regardless of whether they use the front or the back entrance.
Finally on behalf of all of the staff can I say a big thank you to all parents and children for sensible approach to the access arrangements we had to put in place while building work was taking place on site.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Mr Bull |
I write to ask your assistance with the following points:
Text Service
As you probably are aware we are using a text service to contact parents regarding emergency issues or reminders of key events. In order to ensure this runs smoothly can you please update your contact details with the office, especially if you have had a new phone for Christmas!
Also in a recent letter sent home reminding parents of School Times and thanking you for your co-operation on not parking on the school site at anytime of the day.
More information on theses issues can be found further down the page.

Parking on site
Can I remind parents that the School Car Park is for staff and visitors only that we ask parents also not to use the car park, when bringing children to Breakfast club or when picking children up from after school events. Could parents also be mindful of where they park both before and after school, keeping clear of both the Zig Zags and drives of local residents when dropping off or parking.
Can you please remind your children not to enter school on the road leading into school, but to use the foot path at
all times. The safely of your children is paramount to us.
Parents on the infant Playground
A reminder please to wait by the gates when your child enters the infant playground, leaving the playground for children and staff only. This request is made to aid the safely of the children and to cause less distress when they are lining up. The metal gates will be locked promptly so please ensure your child is on time. Thank you to all parents who have supported this action. |
PARKING
Can we once again reiterate the support we need with regard to the parking. Please try to help ease the situation by only using your car when completely necessary to bring your child to school.
If we can ask for your support in being sensitive with your parking when delivering children to school.
Please DO NOT park on the zigzag lines outside school at any time of the day. Please try not to block footpaths with cars and block entrances to local residents driveways.
Thank you for your co-operation regarding this matter as the prime concern for us all is the safety of our children.Also a reminder that we ask parents not to use the school car park, as this could lead to potentially dangerous situations at the beginning and end of the day. Can you please remind your children not to enter school on the road leading into school, but to use the foot path at
all times.

Dear Parents
We are finally back! Sorry the website has been off for so long, but we were having server provider problems and while we have been off I have updated all the information pages but unfortunately time permitting the year group pages haven’t been updated. This will start beginning of the Spring Term and hopefully your children will provide lots of photo opportunities for me!
I have tried to capture some of the events during the year and these are displayed either on the Latest Events page displayed at bottom of the Home page or you can view various present and past trip photos on the Visits & School Events page found at the bottom of the Main menu Info for Parents page. This link contains all the current information about our wonderful school and I hope it helps you to get to know us better!
If you have any school enquires you can email Mrs Thomas at office@deyncourt-pri.lpplus.net
or if you have any website question, suggestions or find any problems with any of the links please email me at

SORRY NO DOGS - EXCEPT GUIDE DOGS
Just as a polite notice, we have noticed an increase in parents/guardians bringing dogs onto the school site. We would just like to remind you that this is prohibited throughout Wolverhampton Borough Council. We would like to thank you for your co-operation as we endeavour to keep the school site clean and safe for all our children. Mr P Bull - Headteacher |
SCHOOL TIMES
The school day starts at 8:55 for all children and ends at 3:15 for KS1 (Infants) and 3:20 for KS2 (Juniors). We will be recording late arrivals to school each day. We ask for your support in ensuring that children are both at school on time and collected promptly at the end of the day.
Changes to School dinner charges
The School Dinner Menu will continue to run on a two week basis. School meal prices are £2.00 a day.
The milk charges for this term
will be £10.00. |
|
|
SCHOOL MEALS
Just a reminder with regard to the criteria for eligibility for free school meals under the new pilot scheme for 2009.“From 2009 to 2011” Wolverhampton City Council will be piloting a two-year project extending eligibility for Free School Meals to all families on a low income (i.e. £16,040 per annum) that do receive Working Tax Credit If you feel that you are eligible please either contact Pupil Support at the Civic Centre or “pop-in” to school and get a form from the Office. This scheme has proved to be very popular with families and we feel that they have not found it to
be too intrusive.
|
School dinner money arrears
There are still some outstanding arrears form the last academic term, could you please address these as soon as possible. For this academic year the school is adopting a policy of not allowing dinner money arrears to accumulate beyond 2 weeks.
In the event of this happening your child will need to bring sandwiches until the due monies are addressed. |
|
SCHOOL UNIFORM
A reminder that school uniform can be purchased directly from school or from Kid’s Corner on Showell Circus.
|
|
Please can I remind parents that in the interest of safety we ask for jewellery to be left at home wherever possible.
Earrings should be of the plain stud sort only and we would prefer no nail varnish to be worn.
Also in the interest of safety, children should only be wearing flat
school shoes to school. |
Perfect for Winter!
You can now buy reversible waterproof jackets and fleeces with
our school logo on them.

Junior classes have details on notices in classrooms. |
An important notice to all new parents/guardians
The only way to enter our school premises is through the
main entrance and lobby system, where visitor’s badges can be distributed if a parent needs to enter the school. Here any queries can be relayed via the office staff and any appointments with staff can be made. School staff need to be fully aware of who is in school by wearing
a visitor’s badge.
Please do not enter through the classrooms unless you have been invited to do so by a member of staff.
We are sure you appreciate our prime aim is the security of the children and that it is compromising school’s security and fire regulations for visitors if we are unaware of who is on the school premises
at any given time.
|
|
|
(Please note: It may be wise if you have small children to ensure they use the toilet at home just before leaving for school as you will no longer be able to walk into school and use our facilities through the playground entrances) |
Infant Parents.
Can we remind you that school finishes at 3:15 for the Infants. Please be on the playground/garden area behind your child's class ready to pick them up. We will not dismiss your child unless we recognise an adult assigned for pick up. We will not send them with a brother/sister who is at the school.
If you are late your child will be kept in the main reception area and you must come to the main entrance and be admitted into school to collect your child.
Thank you for your full support and
co-operation.

At D’Eyncourt we try to offer the children lots of opportunities to be active and encourage healthy lifestyles. This was recognised by the Local Authority when we were awarded our
“Healthy Schools” Status.
Following the success of Food Dudes we will continue with only fruit or vegetables for the mid morning snack break next year.
Snack time is only a 5 minute ‘brain-break’ for children to refresh before their next lesson. Therefore if children eat sugary or high – additive snacks their concentration is seriously affected – to say nothing
of their teeth!
A piece of fruit or vegetable are an ideal snack. We also ask for water to be used in bottles for classrooms consumption. This reinforces our healthy policy and reduces sticky drinks from being consumed or spilt in classes. Fruit drinks are fine for lunchtimes.
|
Could you also please ensure that you do not send lollipops into school as there is a
risk of choking. |
As a School which has gained the Healthy School Award, we have this week been promoting general health and hygiene.
If you haven’t already looked at the Healthy Schools NHS Link page please take the time to see how we have gained the Healthy School Status. Find out how to pack a healthy lunch box to ensure you child has a well balanced diet. Find the link button to the new Government initiative ‘Change4Life’ that aims to help families eat well, exercise more and live longer and it’s really important to our kids’ futures.
Also on the page you will find the NHS Direct phone number and links to other important NHS services. |
As a school that supports the National Healthy Schools scheme which promotes exercise and a balanced diet we have added a couple of outside school acitivities which are run by long standing parents of our school and on occasions have given their time free of charge to demonstrate new and exciting actitivies within school on
our Activity Days.

Attendance
As you know it is vital that your child attends school every day that they possibly can. When your child is too ill to come to school you should inform us by a phone call or a message to the office so we know why your child isn’t in school. This policy is firmly in place and we thank you for ensuring we know your child’s reason for absence.
|
We will continue to award the attendance trophy to the best attending class each week. |
|
|
In the case of holidays during the term time, advice from the Local Authority states that the first ten days of a family holiday taken in any school year (Sep - July)
can be authorised, after this ABSENCES ARE UNAUTHORISED. Holidays that are longer than this stated time may need to be checked by the Governing Body before approval is given.
If you need a holiday form there is one to download at the bottom of this page
or ask at the office.
Many thanks for your support in this area. |
School Gate leading to Fairview Road
As many of you will already know the path leading to the back gate can become flooded at times of heavy rain. If this happens to the point where it becomes unsafe to use, we will have to close the gate. A sign will be put on the gate and children will need to be brought to school via the front gates. At the end of the day children will be told the back gate is locked and will be asked to wait for parents to arrive at the front of school.
|
|
Whilst this may cause inconvenience, we feel it is for the safety of all who use the
Fairview gate. |
We have introduced a video link area on our Learning Platform. These videos will be updated and added to as often as possible.

Bikes in School
Using funding from School’s Travel Plan, we have recently installed some bike racks in school. Children who are confident enough to cycle to school or are escorted by an adult may use the racks to secure their bikes with an appropriate lock. School cannot take responsibility for the security of the bikes or for the safety of the children getting to and from school. Extra seating and a cover have been put in place on the Junior playground as shelter for Parents dropping off or collecting children from school.
We hope these two initiatives encourage more children to arrive at school under their own steam! |
This is your D'Eyncourt Primary School web site, let us know as parents and pupils what you think, tell us what other information you think should or would like to see included on this site.
Please contact Miss S Townsend either at school or
email me at:
