• Nursery Christmas Party

  Mon 05 Dec 2022

  Nursery will have their party in their nursery session on Friday 16th December. That way there will be a morning and afternoon party. 

• Festive singing performances

  Sun 04 Dec 2022

  We will be inviting parents and carers to join us for Festive Singing on Friday 9th December. 

   

  This is also Save the Children Christmas Jumper day. We ask that children wear their uniform, but substitute their usual jumper for a Christmas one. Please make or recycle - we don't want anyone to think they must buy a new jumper. There will be a donation link on ParentPay for Save the Children. 

   

  As for the singing, we will be sending a letter home with each child detailing the time of their performance. There will be 2 tickets attached. Two adults per child will be able to join us for this event in the school hall. Please look after your tickets - we will not be giving out extras or replacements! 

   

  We will have class lists on the day and mark off a maximum of 2 adults per child, so please support us with this. It is the first large event since Covid and we need to manage numbers on this occasion. 

   

  What about family members who cannot attend the performance? We will record the children singing in their classroom and post this on the school website the week after the performances. 

   

  Thank you.

  The younger children from Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will be having a theatre experience in the hall with Chaplins Theatre Company. Please, if you can, donate £1 towards the cost of this via ParentPay. Thank you for the donations so far. 

   

  The older children in Year 3 and Year 4 will be having a Jack and the Beanstalk live actor cinema experience with popcorn and squash in their classrooms (we will provide this - please advise us of children unable to have this). We will be setting up a donation link on ParentPay tomorrow. If you can donate £1 please do as it really helps towards the cost.

• Meal changes

  Fri 04 Nov 2022

  Please note the changes by the caterers to meals in response to feedback. The new potatoes have been changed to roast potatoes on the roast dinner. There are now chips with the fingers meal. The chicken nuggets are under review as the children haven’t all responded well to chicken breast in the nuggets as opposed to more fast food style pressed chicken meat. 
   

  Please see Mr Kieran if you can join a parents meeting with the caterers to discuss the meal choices. Also let the office staff know if you would like your child to be part of the working party - researching children’s views.

   

  Thank you
