WHOLE SCHOOL LETTERS
-
On occasions, students are allowed to wear clothes other than the usual school uniform. This may include ‘mufti’ days to raise money and awareness for charities, as a Year Group reward or when on school trips or excursions. Whilst this allows students the opportunity to express themselves as individuals, it must be done so in an appropriate way. It is particularly important that on these occasions students recognise that the school is still a working environment and wear appropriate clothing.

We are excited to announce that on Thursday, 12th December, we will be holding a Christmas Jumper Day at school! This is a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to embrace the festive spirit while supporting a great cause.
To participate, we kindly ask for a £2 donation, which can be brought in on the day or made via ParentPay. All proceeds will go toward [insert charity/cause here, if applicable], helping to make a positive difference this holiday season.

Dear Parent/Carers

If your daughter/son is eligible for Free School Meals, we would like to encourage you to register them.
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive Free School Meals through a different scheme whether the parents/carers receive benefits or not, however if your daughter/son are eligible for Free School Meals, we still really want you to register – see why below.

You should be aware from your daughter/son that we are once again taking part in the ‘Reverse Advent Calendar’ Food Bank Appeal.
For the past few years, we have taken part in the ‘Reverse Advent Calendar’ scheme with great success. Instead of the usual advent calendar countdown to Christmas, we ask students and staff to bring in donations for a local food bank.
In the past, we have been able to make a large delivery of goods, both food and toiletry items, to local charities just before Christmas. This year it is more essential than ever with many more families in need.

I am writing on behalf of the Parents and Friends Association (PFA) of Tolworth Girls' School & Sixth Form. We are planning our Christmas fundraising events, which include an online raffle for families, parents and carers of our 1,400 students. This event brings together our local community, students and supporters to raise funds for the ‘extras’ that are not always able to be provided by the school’s main income and which make learning more stimulating and exciting for students.

We are delighted to announce that we will once again be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair from Tuesday 26 November to Friday 29 November 2024. The book fair was a great success last year, both proving inspirational to many students and creating interest and excitement about books and reading. We hope that you will continue to support your daughter in developing literacy skills and a passion for reading.

Item descriptionI am taking this opportunity to write to inform you of some important changes the Department for Education is introducing regarding school attendance and the issuing of penalty notices when children are absent from school. A new national framework for penalty notices has been introduced. The new regulations came into effect from Monday 19 August 2024. The aim is to improve consistency in the use of penalty notices across England.

Item descriptionAs we conclude the first full week of this academic year, I would like to extend my congratulations to our entire school community for the exemplary behaviour and attitudes shown both in and outside of school. At Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form (TGS), we take great pride in our high expectations, which we know provide the foundation for a safe and supportive school environment ensuring that every student has the chance to reach their full potential.
