Watches with Camera Function.

We have noted that some children are bringing watches into school that have a camera function. Whilst we would not normally prevent children from wearing a watch in school, we have to insist that they do not have one that is capable of capturing images as this could be a safeguarding risk to other children.

FOSS '100 Club' - January Draw.

We are delighted with the response to the FOSS 100 club. Numbers for January have now been allocated and the draw will take place during assembly next Friday. You can still purchase numbers for the February draw onwards through ParentPay.

School Lunches

Next week we will be on Week 1 of the Spring 1 2023 lunches menu.


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.

Spring 1 2023 Lunch Menu

From w/c 2nd January - w/c 6th February

Parent Volunteers

We are delighted to be able to have volunteers into schools again, and would welcome parents to help us. If you are able to give any time to us, either on an ad-hoc or regular basis, you will need to complete a DBS application. Please contact the office for more information.

Application for Pupil Absence Form

This form should be completed by the parent/carer and returned to the school as far in advance as possible and preferably preferably with sufficient notice before the first intended day of absence.
