FOSS AGM - 26th September 22

Don’t forget that the FOSS AGM will take place in school next Monday 26th September, 7pm in school. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Ofsted Inspection

We were pleased with the process of the Ofsted inspection last week, and the feedback we received from HMI was highly complementary. We will not know the final outcomes until the report is released, which we expect will be late October.

School Photographer

The school photographer will be in school on Tuesday 4th October. They will be taking individual school photos and in-school sibling photos.

Young Minds Hello Yellow Day - 10th October

As part of our ongoing mission to support positive mental health for children, on Monday 10th October we will be joining in with the Young Minds 'Hello Yellow' day. Children can come to school in non-uniform but are asked to wear something yellow. This could be just a pair of yellow socks, a yellow hair bobble or a full yellow outfit! The suggested donation is £1 via a Go Fund me page. Further details will follow as soon as possible.

Bag2School Clothing Collection - 2nd November

We have arranged a clothing collection for 2nd November. Please bag up any unwanted clothing. October half term would be a good opportunity to clear out those cupboards! The bags can be dropped off at school week before 9am on Wednesday 2nd November (please don't bring them earlier as we have no where to store them). If you would like to find out more information about the scheme please click the link below. Children will be bringing bags home w/c 10th October but you can still use your own too.

School Lunches

Next week we will be on Week 1 of the autumn 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.

Autumn 2022 Lunch Menu

From w/c 5th September 2022 - w/c 16th December 2022. This is our menu for the Autumn Term

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.
