General Reminders and information

Road Safety weekly message

Research suggests that children that walk, cycle or scoot to school are more productive. The active nature of walking, cycling or scootering releases endorphins – our happy hormones. This means children arrive to school in a much happier mood and more eager to get on with learning straight away.

Parking on roads around the school

Please could we ask parents NOT to park on the roads of Bure Meadows and surrounding areas of Sir Williams Lane.  If you have to collect your child at the end of the day and cannot wait, please come into the front car park on Sir Williams Lane and queue on the left hand side of the car park waiting for your child and then move on (like a drive thru).  If you are able to wait until 3:40pm please park in the back car park (NOT on the roads of Bure Meadows) and collect your child.  

If you as parents do not collect your child from school, please could we ask you pass this message onto the the person that does.

We need to respect the residents surrounding the school.

Thank you.

Activities Week

Activities week will take place on 14 July to 18 July 2025

Welcome to the activities for summer of 2025.  Activities week will take place this year during the last week of the summer term.  We aim to end the academic year with a fun and exciting range of events designed to enable your child to:

  • Spend an extended period of time on an activity of their choice
  • Undertake a residential experience if they wish
  • Try something completely different
  • Progress further with existing skills
  • Work with students from different year groups
  • Develop the skills needed to be enterprising and utilise key skills in new situations

All students are expected to take part in an activity

The school is unable to authorise absence during activities week, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

We expect cost to be an important factor; activities that have a price associated with them are unable to run unless we can cover the full cost through your contributions.  There is, as usual, a range of free and low cost activities to ensure that every child can take part during the week.

There will be a non-refundable deposit required by Friday 22 November 2024; this will be available to pay via ParentPay on Wednesday 13 November 2024.  The deadline for full non-refundable payment for all activities is Monday 31 March 2025.  Please make payments via ParentPay.  If you need assistance with ParentPay, please contact the finance department on ext. 153/107 or finance@aylshamhigh.norfolk.sch.uk.  If you would like to discuss payment options including instalments, please contact the activity leader once the activity has been confirmed.

If you have any questions please email twiseman@aylshamhigh.norfolk.sch.uk
