Dear Parents and Carers, families and friends,

We hope you and your family are well. Here's the latest news from our school!

📅 Half Term Reminder – School Closed Next Week

School will be closed next week for the half term holiday.

The last day of school is Friday 23rd May
School will be closed from Monday 26th to Friday 30th May
We will reopen on Monday 2nd June

We hope you’ll enjoy a safe and relaxing break with your children when it comes!

Weduc and any change of contact details

If you haven’t been able to sign up to Weduc (ReachMoreParents) so far, please do come to the office and ask them to help you. Your child’s class teacher will often send information that you need via Weduc/ReachMoreParents and if you have the app you’ll know about it straight away on there.

Even more important, if you’ve changed your contact details, it’s really important that you let us know. Telephone contacts, addresses and names of people you’re authorising to collect your child if you’re not able to get to school. These are all really important – let us know at the office, by phone, by email, by Weduc/ReachMoreParents or using the form at the bottom of this school web page (scroll right down to the end of this page) or here: https://www.kingrichards.leicester.sch.uk/contact-details/

Curriculum information on the school website

The subject leaders in school have been working really hard on a curriculum review across the school. You can access long term plans and information about progression (how each year’s learning builds on the last and up to the next!) on this page of the school website: https://www.kingrichards.leicester.sch.uk/curriculum/

🌈 A Reminder for Warm Weather

As the weather gets warmer, please remember:

Send your child to school with a hat and water bottle
Apply sun cream at home before school if needed
Please label all clothes with your child’s name

🏫 Thank You for Your Support

A big thank you to all our families for your continued support this term. The children have worked hard and made great progress in their learning. We are proud of them, as always!

We wish you a happy half term break after Friday 23^rd May and look forward to seeing you again on Monday 2nd June!

Warm regards,
Ms Harrison
Headteacher at King Richard III Infant and Nursery School

World Book Day 2025!

This year we will be celebrating World Book Day on Friday 7th March.

We are going to be having a theme of ‘snuggle up and read’ and will be inviting the children to come to school in their pyjamas to take part in a bedtime read in the hall. If your child would like to dress up as a character from a book that would also be fine but please do not feel that you need to buy a costume especially for the day. Alternatively, if your children would prefer to, they can wear their normal school uniform.

Throughout the day we will be sharing lots of stories, having a World Book Day Assembly and all of the adults will be reading to a different class than the one they would normally read to.

All of the children will be bringing home a £1 World Book Day Book Token that can either be exchanged for one of 10 special World Book Day books or used to get £1 off any book costing £2.99 or more.

You can find your nearest bookseller at:

https://www.worldbookday.com/books-and-tokens/books/participating-retailers/

If you type in ‘World Book Day’ into Amazon, you can also find books for only £1.
