Noticeboard - Friday Reminders
FRIDAY REMINDERS 30.01.2026
Dear Families,
Here are your Friday Reminders!
** IMPORTANT: SCHOOL EMAILS GOING TO SPAM/ JUNK**
We have been made aware that many parents are not receiving emails we send via Arbor as they are going into their SPAM/Junk folder.
Sometimes this happens when the recipient has previously marked Arbor emails as spam by mistake, training their email system to do so. To help reduce this issue, you might consider adding Arbor's sending email address to your safe sender or contacts list, together with reguralry checking your Spam/Junk folder and marking the School Arbor emails as "Not Spam."
If you could share this message in your Class Whatsapp group, it would be much appreciated. All important school communication is sent via Arbor email system and it's really crucial all families are able to receive it.

"THIS WEEK'S SUSTAINABILITY TIP"
Sustainable Fashion - According to a study by Oxfam, buying a second-hand T-shirt and pair of jeans could save the equivalent of 20,000 standard bottles of water.
In the UK, approximately 350,000 tonnes of wasted clothes are sent to the land fields every year.
What can you do?
· Use durable items so they last longer and don’t need to be discarded or replaced so quickly
· Repair items or learn how to saw and mend – creativity lies everywhere!!
· Recycle textiles or donate them to Charity Shops and Exchange Corners – the closest to Patcham is The Old Boat Community Centre
Did you know that?
· Adapt old items to create something new an unexpected! You can use different parts for different projects!
Our Sustainability Plan page is regularly updated with all the steps Patcham Junior is taking towards Zero Net 2030, and you can find weekly Sustainablility Tips added at the bottom of the page.
