• Uniform

  Wed 29 Mar 2017

  Just a reminder that the school uniform is listed on our uniform page on our website. This details what we will permit children to wear as part of the school uniform, and following a recent enquiry, this does include girls wearing trousers.

   

  Summer dresses can be worn from after the Easter break.

   

  Any questions, please see you class teacher or the school office.

  RAF Benson Community Primary School

  Annual Cross Country Event

  John William Stacey Memorial Races

  Saturday 25th March 2017

   

  RAF Benson Primary School will be hosting its 13th Annual Cross Country event on Saturday 25th March 2017. The event is held on the field adjacent to the school and the races are open to all pupils in Years 1 to 6.

   

  The first race will start at 10.00 am and registration will be from 9.30am. All runners from your school are warmly invited to this event and are eligible to run in one race appropriate to their age.

   

  To qualify for points in the team event (ALL YEARS) you will need at least 3 pupils per race. There is NO entry fee and the children just need to wear their PE kit and training shoes. The presentations will commence as soon as the results have been verified at the end of the last race and participation certificates will be available for all runners. We very much look forward to seeing you there.

  All visitors will need to check-in upon arrival at RAF Benson before joining the event, so please allow extra time (approx. 20 min) for these formalities. To ease traffic onto the Station we ask parents to car share where possible and also to stagger their arrival times for the later age groups. Visitors will need to enter the Station via the gate situated at the bottom of Beggarbush Hill and not the main station entrance.  The entrance will be clearly signposted. Further access information can be obtained from your child's school.

   

  Any questions, please contact RAF Benson Community Primary School by phone on 01491 836 460 or email office.2450@raf-benson.oxon.sch.uk

   

  Visitors are kindly requested not to bring dogs to the race.

   

   

   

   

   

• Book at Bedtime

  Wed 01 Mar 2017
  We are holding an event on Thursday 2nd March that proved to be very popular the last time we did this. Book at Bedtime involves the children coming along to school dressed in onesies or pyjamas or comfy clothes to listen to a bedtime story shared by one of our teachers in a cosy and relaxed setting. Children will have refreshments and take part in a short craft activity linking to reading. Whilst this is taking place, we invite parents to stay and listen to Mrs Haythorne speak about reading, how to help your children with reading both if they are reluctant or if they are whizzing ahead and also give an opportunity for you to ask questions about reading both in and out of school. Refreshments also provided so come and have a relaxing cuppa!
  
  The last time we did this, a number of our parents learnt a lot from listening to what other parents did with their child to support reading development. if you and your child are interested in coming along, please complete the booking form on the link below as this helps us with catering. We look forward to seeing you there at 5.30pm!
