    13th September 2013

    Welcome Back
    Welcome back to the start of another new school year and thank you to you all for making both us and all of our new families feel so welcome during the course of the first week. It has been a pleasure meeting you both in the mornings and during the Meet the New Headmaster evenings and I look forward to meeting more Nursery and Upper School parents next week in the Dining Hall. Nursery parents should note that Nursery Parents Evening scheduled for 8th October has now been moved to Thursday 26th September and shall take place in the Dining Room. Congratulations to all concerned with Totally Tockington for their recent commendation in the national press for the high quality of their publication. I know that Ms Case has since been inundated with applicants from budding journalists to join the team and I wish them every success in the months to come. Congratulations too to all of our Year 8 pupils for being awarded their Year 8 ties and gaining their respective positions of authority. I look forward to working with them closely this year. In order for me to gain a greater appreciation of how you, as parents, view the school a simple questionnaire was emailed to you all yesterday. You may either fill it in manually or return it by e-mail to the school office. Your views are greatly appreciated and I look forward to receiving them in due course. I would however like to set a deadline for Friday 20th September. Mr Symonds

    Nursery News

    Christmas Cards I know it is far too early to be thinking about Christmas, but I wanted to let you know before you buy your cards, that each child in the school will have the opportunity to design their own Christmas card this year. Printed proofs and order forms will be sent home in a few weeks time and cards will be delivered after half term. Mrs Martin

    Congratulations
    Tockington Manor School's Judo Coach married his partner Julie on her birthday on Friday 2nd August. Lucy England (Y8) was one of their four bridesmaids. John has been busy coaching this summer and is looking forward to seeing the TMS judoka this term

Thanks for your support and understanding, time is tight at this time of the day and I do appreciate your efforts to bring your children.

    Tockington Titbits
    Rachel Shutt coped beautifully with her first week at TMS. Jessie Sanzo was very brave when she had four teeth extracted. James Allen smiled all week. Bennie Sanzo spoke out in assembly at least twice. Tabitha Huby, George Symonds and Helena Brain tried out a new club - Totally Tockington. Ceredig Jones was incredibly helpful and polite all week. Angus Duncan was full of enthusiasm all week. Annabel Sheppard, James Allen, Tabitha Huby and Vivian Boudon all gained medals and certificates in the summer Reading Challenge at the library. The WHOLE of Year 5 made an amazing transfer to the Upper School. All of the children coped very well with the changes in arrangements at the end of the day and were very positive
