Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is Charis and I’m a Casting Researcher at Love Productions; the company behind The Great British Bake Off, The Great British Sewing Bee and The Great Pottery Throw Down.

We are delighted to say, that we have recently opened applications for the 7th series of Junior Bake Off; a Channel 4 programme that celebrates the culinary talent and ambition of the younger generation in Britain.

With this in mind, we are contacting schools in hope that they can help us spread the word regarding this exciting opportunity.

We are looking for young budding bakers between 9 -15 years old.

Filming would take place from July 2021, but our applications close on Sunday 28th March 2021.

Interested bakers can apply online at – WWW.APPLYFORJUNIORBAKEOFF.CO.UK.

I have attached an A4 flyer in case you would like to hand these out or pop these up on your communal notice boards.

Alternatively, if you would like us to send you hard copies of flyers, I would be more than happy to post some to the school.

Please do feel free to contact us on 0207 067 4833, should you have any questions regarding the above.

Thank you so much for all of your help in advance!

Remote Learning – Top Tips for Parents

2nd February 2021A Rogers

TOP 10 TIPS – REMOTE LEARNING FOR PARENTS

Remote learning can be a great way to continue learning outside the classroom, particularly in difficult circumstances.

For parents and carers, the idea of remote learning isn’t always straightforward and there can be a number of factors they need to consider, especially around ensuring their children feel comfortable and are familiar with the whole concept. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help parents and carers support their child in getting the most out of their remote learning experience.

IMPORTANT

22nd January 2021S Office
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Parents/Carers
It is expected by The Department of Education, South Tyneside Local Authority and school that all children access work through this mandatory school closure period. The Government have issued laptops to disadvantaged children in years 3 – 6 (KS2), and those laptops are to be used daily to complete work set by your child’s class teacher. It is the parents/carers responsibility to ensure their child is completing work on a daily basis. Please ensure this is done.
Your child’s class teacher will make weekly calls to parents/carers to speak to the children. This is to offer any support/help with the online work that has been set, and a general check to make sure the children are safe and well.
If parents/carers have any queries, they can contact their child’s class teacher directly. Teachers/office staff will reply to emails DURING work hours – 8.00am and 5.00pm. Please do not email staff outside of those hours.
Your support with these requests are greatly appreciated. We hope you are all keeping safe and well.
All the staff at Stanhope Primary School

Vouchers will be sent to the email address provided by yourselves in September. The vouchers will be ordered via Edenred – The company used in the first lockdown.
If you do not receive your vouchers on Monday, please keep checking your emails. I will be in the office on THURSDAY to take calls if you have still not received your vouchers by then. Please do not call the office until Thursday. There were a few teething problems with Edenred when I applied for vouchers in March 2020, therefore we ask for your patience.
Those who do not have an email address – your vouchers will be posted to you. The chosen store will be Aldi.
PLEASE NOTE – Those children who are currently in school FULL TIME will not receive vouchers.
There will be NO MORE collections of packed lunches due to the vouchers beginning again.
