London 2012 Olympics Rewards & Recognition!
Dear Parents
I am delighted to inform you that Wylam First School has successfuly been accepted as a member of London 2012′s UK-wide reward and recognition scheme, the Get Set network.
Get Set (london2012.com/getset) is the official London 2012 education programme, and through this programme, our pupils have begun learning about the Games and the Olympic and Paralympic Values.
Through the programme, we will be doing work linked to London 2012 and the Olympic and Paralympic Values such as holding our own Opening Ceremony to celebrate all the different countries taking part in the games and of course, our own special Olympic themed Sports Day.
We have now been recognised by the London 2012 Organising Committee as a school that is demonstrating its copmmitment to the Olympic and Paralympic Values, and have become a member of the Get Set network.
This means that we:
- have the right to use the London 2012 education logo – look out for this on our school sign, letterhead and website
- will receive a plaque and certificate to show we are part of the London 2012 Family
- and we will be in with a chance of winning visits from athletes and the London 2012 mascots!
Over the coming months, we at Wylam First School will be getting ready for London 2012 by linking more work to the Games and ensuring that our pupils feel that they are a part of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
We are really excited about this fantastic opportunity and look forward to updating you further on our work in the coming months.

Public Protection Service – Parking outside school premises
Dear Parents
The Community & Environmental Health Rural Team has contacted school regarding inconsiderate parking around Hedley Road and Parsons Road.
Could I please ask parents who are dropping off or picking up their children to park sensibly and consider local residents access. The car park by the war memorial can be used free of charge if you apply to the council for a parking permit. If interested to apply for a permit, please contact Emma Irving on 01434 652395.
Thanking you in advance for your co-operation.
