Brookvale Primary School

Good morning Parents and Carers, Just a reminder that the NEU (National Education Union) is hosting a meeting today at 6pm at The Heath Conference Centre, Heath Business Park. (see attached flyer) The meeting will focus on school closures and alternative options for schools, particularly around SEND provision. If you are able to attend, your support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for your continued support and the strong sense of community you have shown during this challenging time. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good morning Parents and Carers, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined the march on Friday. Despite the weather, it was wonderful to see so many parents, carers, children, and community businesses standing together for our school. A special thank you to parents and children who spoke so confidently and passionately on BBC Radio Merseyside and helped share our community's voice. As Headteacher, I could not be prouder. Friday reminded us all that Brookvale is far more than a school; it is a community that cares deeply for its children and for one another.  Kind regards Mr Moore

Good afternoon Parents and Carers, Please find attached a list of the key events taking place this term. Parents' Evening will take place during the week beginning 12th October. Closer to the time, we will share the specific dates and appointment times for each year group. Other events will be added throughout the term and we will share those with you when they have been agreed. Thank you for your continued support. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good morning Parents and Carers, We have received a number of emails this morning from parents who are unhappy with the minutes that were produced following last Wednesday's consultation meeting with the Local Authority. Several parents and community members have indicated that they would like to submit a formal complaint regarding the accuracy and content of the minutes. If you have concerns or wish to make a complaint, please send your comments to the Save Our School email address - saveourschool@brookvaleprimary.co.uk I will collate all responses received and forward them to Ben Holmes, copying in the members of the Headteacher Group who represent schools at the panel meetings. Thank you for your continued support. It is vitally important that we act quickly, so please send any comments, concerns, or complaints by midday tomorrow, Friday 18th September. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good Morning Parents and Carers, I would like to start by saying a huge thank you for your support at last Wednesday’s consultation meeting with the Local Authority. Your questions, passion and show of strength were incredible, and I am very proud of your determination to stand up for our school community. I have now received the minutes from the meeting and would politely ask that you take some time to read through them and check that they accurately reflect the discussion. If you feel anything has been omitted or needs amending, please email me via the school office at sec.brookvale@haltonlearning.net and we will ensure your comments are passed on. As you will see from the minutes, there is very little additional information provided and most of the content is from the slideshow. I know many of you came to the meeting with important questions and understandably felt frustrated as there were no answers given. If you would like anything added or amended, please do let me know. It is important that your voices are heard and properly represented throughout this process. Thank you once again for your continued support, commitment and community spirit. Kind regards Mr Moore

Dear Parents and Carers, Please be reminded that the school car park is for staff use only and should not be used for dropping off or collecting children. If you drive to school, please use the car park outside the Community Centre and follow the pedestrian path to access the school site safely. These arrangements help to keep our pupils, families and staff safe during the busy start and end of the school day. Thank you for your understanding and support. Kind regards Mr Moore Headteacher

Good afternoon Parents and Carers, Thank you to everyone who has already applied for Free School Meals. We encourage all families to check whether they may be eligible, even if they have not qualified before. Registering could provide your child with a free school lunch every day, saving you money, while also bringing additional funding into school to support learning and opportunities for all pupils. Please see the attached letter for details and check your eligibility today. Thank you for your support. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good evening Parents and Carers, I would like to thank you all for coming out in force this evening to support our school and represent your views and ask your questions (even though your questions were not fully answered) Whilst it is still fresh in your mind, if you did ask any question or present any suggestions or facts, please write these down and include them within your submission on the online consultation link. Also, if you would like to write them and send them to us via email so we can add them to the minutes when they arrive. I have included the link below: www.halton.gov.uk/runcornprimaryschoolsconsultation Thank you all again for your support tonight, it means a lot to me and the Brookvale Community. Kind regards Mr Moore

Good morning Parents and Carers, This afternoon at 3:30pm in the school hall, the Local Authority consultation meeting with parents will take place. This is a crucial opportunity for you to have your voice heard and to share your views on the future of Brookvale Primary School. The decisions being considered could have a significant impact on our children, families and the wider community, so it is important that as many people as possible attend. We are asking all parents and carers to support the school by joining us this afternoon. If you are unable to attend yourself, please encourage grandparents, other family members, neighbours, friends and local residents who care about our school and community to come along and have their say. The stronger the community presence, the clearer the message that Brookvale Primary School matters to local families. This is your opportunity to explain how a closure or merger could affect your children, your family and the wider Brookvale community. Please come along, ask questions, share your views and help us demonstrate the importance of keeping Brookvale at the heart of our community. Thank you for your continued support. Mr Moore Headteacher Brookvale Primary School
