Transition Morning

We are delighted that children enjoyed meeting their new teacher this week and are getting ready to move up in September. It was nice that Mr Hine was able to be with us for the day, and we all look forward to working with him in September.

Welcome Mrs Andre

Governors have appointed a new teaching assistant to work in Maple class next year. Mrs Andre currently works in a British school in Cyprus and is relocating to the area over the summer. We are sure she will make an excellent addition to our team.

Tag Rugby

Tag Rugby

Well done to the teams who represented the school so admirably in the tag rugby tournament this week. Not only were they wonderful ambassadors for our school, but they also won the entire tournament! They beat a number of much larger Leeds schools on the way to being awarded a HUGE trophy. We are incredibly proud of them.

School Lunches

School Lunches

Please see the Summer 2022 Lunch menu below. Next week we will be on Week 2 of lunches.


The Wednesday Lunch of Roast Pork will be changed to Sausage and Mash.


Children can decide daily whether they are having a school dinner or packed lunch.


Please ensure you discuss the menu each day with your child so they can decide what they would like to order. Once they know their choices, they will choose this each morning with their teacher during registration.


Each day there are 4 choices, either the hot dinner, hot vegetarian option, jacket potato with a choice of toppings or a sandwich. 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.


Packed Lunches - if you are sending grapes in your child's packed lunch, can you please ensure that these are cut in half.
