‘JUST A THOUGHT’……
This link http://www.wilmslow.co.uk/news/article/12310/parents-face-fines-for-illegal-parking-
outside-schools provides the full story of how there is rightly a firm clampdown against dangerous
parking around schools across East Cheshire.
If we are honest, as a school, there are instances of some inconsiderate parking at drop-off, and it is
imperative that it is addressed and that we park considerately and carefully in the morning, especially
at junctions or opposite junctions. Please also avoid parking near the school crossing as it impairs the
view of the children when crossing and places them in great danger.
The bottom line is that inconsiderate and dangerous parking is of greatest threat to our children, and
that is unacceptable. Please park with due consideration for the safety of your, of our wonderful chil-
dren.
In order to alleviate some of the congestion and in order to search for a solution that will help us, I am
adjusting slightly the times at which the children are asked to be in school. So, with immediate effect:
The Prep School, Forms 3-6, now need to be in school by 8.30 a.m.
Pre-Prep, Forms 1 and 2 should be in school by 8.40 a.m.
EYFS need to be in school by 8.50 a.m.
I hope this helps to keep our children safe. Of course, where you have children across two or more
sections of the school then you should, if at all possible, try to be in school at the earliest time stated.
In addition, please may I remind all car drivers (staff, parents or school accredited visitors) that there
is no parking in the disabled spaces on the school drive unless you are a disabled badge holder, or
have express permission to do so by the school. Thank you.
I am attending an IAPS Conference during next week . Therefore, I will away from school until
Thursday. Mr. Goulbourn
RNLI FUNDRAISING
Harry Mascall in Form 4 is raising money for RNLI by visiting all UK lifeboat stations. This year he has visited
75 stations. There is still a long way to go. He hopes to raise £2,500 during this epic challenge and raise
awareness for this great cause – RNLI saves 23 lives every day and is funded entirely by charitable donations.
You can follow his journey on Twitter @HarryMascall1 and read more about his challenge on his fund raising
page. If you would like to help Harry reach his fundraising target you can do so by donating directly to his
fundraising page - http://www.justgiving.com/harrymascall.
Justgiving sends your donation straight to RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution and automatically reclaims
gift aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
The second hand uniform shop would like to send 10% of any commission they make from their Lent Term
uniform sales to the RNLI in support of the wonderful work Harry has been undertaking over many months.
If you would like to claim your commission then please do let us know and we shall of course pass ion to you. If
you are happy for us to donate, then nothing further needs to be done.
Thank you so much for your support!
HARVEST FESTIVAL
The Pre Prep will be hosting The Harvest Festival
this year on Thursday 8th October at 9.30 a.m.in
our Boddington Theatre.
Children who are not involved are welcome to
contribute by bringing Harvest gifts for the
Wilmslow Food Bank. This is a very worthwhile
charity which supports disadvantaged people
living in our local area. They will be very glad to
receive any tinned or store cupboard goods, which
will be delivered to the charity after the service.
Please bring your Harvest gifts to the Main Hall on
Wednesday 7th October. Thank you for your
support. Beryl Spence
GOLDEN LEAVES
Each week, as you
know, we award a
'golden leaf' to
children who have
had a super week in
school.
‘It’s a small world…after all’
The whole school was brought together last Tuesday to celebrate the European Day of Languages. The
children looked wonderful, dressed up in the colours of their countries and everyone had a fantastic time.
The day started with a parade of EYFS and KS1 children, which was great fun to watch. Nursery children
looked particularly beautiful with their handmade Bulgarian flower headbands. The children had a very busy
morning which included using spaghetti for writing in phonics in Kindergarten, making French flags in Form
1, learning a Greek dance in Form 2, understanding and creating volcanic eruptions in Form 3, tasting food
in Form 4, making the German traditional ‘school cone’ in Form 5 and creating a French play about Gustave
Eiffel visiting his own tower, in Form 6! And the list goes on!
The whole school met up again in the afternoon for a very enjoyable assembly where the children presented
their work from the morning and discovered that many members of staff can speak a foreign language. We
had a great day celebrating the many European Languages. Well done everyone! Madame Pettecrew
F1 AND F2 RUGBY CLUB
I have been really impressed with the commitment,
rugby skills and listening from the Form 1 and 2
Rugby Club so far this term. They have really
understood the importance of looking after the ball
and have enjoyed doing their rugby homework
(watching the Rugby World Cup!).
If these boys keep working hard, then the future
looks bright for Pownall and England!
Mr. Barlow
Recently, we decided to make
the leaves slightly
different to celebrate the
Queen's longest reign. Golden
leaves have now resumed
back to normal!

U10 Football (H) v St. Pius
By Jake Butler-Smith
The U10 team played really well at home against St. Pius on
Wednesday. We made some brilliant passes when we went forward
but St. Pius took the lead. We fought back from being 0—2 down to
make the score 3—3 until the last three minutes, when St. Pius scored
2 more goals making the final score 3—5.
Man of the match was Daniel because of his amazing skills and for
scoring 2 goals. Noah scored a fantastic goal too! We are really
working well as a team now—well done boys!
