Shotton Primary
and Nursery School
We are a busy and lively school with lots going on to enrich the experiences of all of our children.
In this section of our website, you can find out about what has been happening in and outside of our school and lots of things that we have planned for the coming weeks.
Mrs Shaw (Head Teacher)
We have a few items of brand new logo'd uniform in stock in a limited number of sizes. We are looking to make room in our stock room so are selling at a reduced price. Please contact the office to check sizes and reserve your items then pay via ParentPay.
As a special treat we would like to invite all children in Nursery, Reception, Year One and Year Two to take part in our Polar Express Day.
On this day we welcome children to come dressed in their pyjamas to take part in lots of exciting activities and collect some wonderful keepsakes and make memories with their friends. The children will still have lunch breaks and playtimes on this day so please ensure they have warm clothing underneath their pyjamas and/or warm layers to go on top of their pyjamas on this day.
Monday 19th December
This year we have arranged for 3 professional pantomime performances in school which we always think are an important part of our Christmas celebrations.
Children in Nursery, Reception and Years 1 and 2 will watch ‘The Clumsiest Elf’ and Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will watch ‘Dib and Dab’.
So that we can continue to provide such valuable experiences for all of our children we welcome any contributions via ParentPay.
Many thanks to those parents who have already contributed.
If your child is not normally at Nursery on a Monday afternoon they can still come and watch the pantomime as long as an adult is able to come and stay with them whilst the pantomime is on. Due to limited numbers only one parent should attend with their child. Only parents of children who would not normally be at Nursery on a Monday afternoon are able to attend. The pantomime for Nursery children is due to start at 1:10pm and should finish by 2pm. If you are wanting to do so and your child normally would attend only mornings, they must still be collected as normal at the end of their morning session and brought back for the pantomime in the afternoon. Please let Nursery staff know if you wish to do this.
Durham County Council have agreed that households with a child in receipt of Free School Meals will receive a voucher payment of £110 to support with costs over the winter period. Children in nursery in receipt of Early Year Pupil Premium will also be eligible for a voucher. Schools have once again been asked to send out these vouchers.
An email will be sent to eligible families in the coming weeks, which will then be followed by the vouchers. If you do not receive an email and think you may be eligible (eligibility criteria can be found on our website: https://www.shottonprimary.durham.sch.uk/school-meals/ ) then please contact the office who will provide you with the relevant paperwork.
