Delighted to be back
Social Distancing
Separating Bubbles
Children should continue to bring alternative footwear every day to reduce the amount of mud brought into school.
Lateral Flow Tests for Families
School Lunches
The new School Lunch system is working well in school, the children are enjoying the daily choice. Next week we will be on Week 1 of the lunch menu.
Can you please ensure you discuss the menu each day with your child so they can decide what they would like for lunch. Once they know their choices, they will choose this each morning with their teacher during registration.
If your child starts the week with a school lunch then they will be on school lunches for the whole of that week. If your child starts the week with a packed lunch, they will be on packed lunches for the whole of that week.
Children can switch weekly between school lunches and packed lunches but not daily.
Each day there are 3 choices, either the hot dinner, the sandwich or the jacket potato with a choice of 3 toppings. The sandwich and jacket potato always come with a selection of vegetables/salad on the side and have the full pudding choice for that day.
Comic Relief
Red Nose Day is back on Friday 19th March and this year it’s never felt more important to have some fun and raise money to support people living incredibly tough lives. Not only do we need to provide safety to families who need support, but also tackle mental health stigma and help to give children a brighter future.
We will also be having a non-uniform day, so the children may come into school wearing fancy dress if they would like. The red noses this year are 100% plastic-free and in the style of woodland creatures, so they may wish to choose an animal theme. Alternatively, Comic Relief are also promoting the ‘superhero’ theme, so that may prove attractive to some children.
Donations for Comic Relief Red Nose Day can be made via ParentPay
