The Hungate Echo
Sherburn Hungate Weekly News - Autumn Term - Issue 3
A word from Mr Broom.
I completed the Key Stage Two lesson observations this week to check on the quality of learning taking place in the classrooms. I have to say I was so impressed by the exciting activities our children were experiencing and it was lovely to see how quickly our new team members have settled into school.
We're still working hard with our school meals and I thank you for the many positive comments received. Our children are trying new things and liking them and this too is having a positive effect. I'd also like to reiterate that if you do have any issues/concerns regarding school meals, please come to see me as my door is always wide open. Mrs Crossley has to serve the menu agreed by North Yorkshire Catering Services without deviation and it's not her role to field parental issues/concerns.
Meanwhile, thank you to our Year 5 parents who came into school to see Mr Kelly and myself. I couldn't make every meeting but from what he has said, Mr Kelly is very confident of having a super year with our amazing Year Fives.
Next week, our Year 6 children are in Low Mill for the week. I'm sure they will have a smashing time.
Thank you to Friends!
We're now on with this year and we're starting by investing £3000 from the Friends Association in a new library for the children.

School Meals Update
To update you:
- I've met with NYCC Catering to establish the menu we will be serving for the coming months up to Christmas.
- We've listened to some of your constructive comments regarding choices and I'm pleased to say that Mrs Crossley and the kitchen team will be providing four sandwich choices and three jacket potato filling choices on a daily basis.
- Mrs Buttle, one of our parent governors, visited school on Wednesday to talk to children about lunch times. Many commented that they were now enjoying trying new things.

School Attendance
It's important that children attend school regularly and at Sherburn Hungate we recognise that excellent attendance leads to excellent achievement. Fact!
Congratulations to our Year 1 and Year 3 children who are our attendance champions in school this week with 99.3%!
Our average attendance this week is 97.8% which is well above the national average.
We have a small number of children whose attendance is well below the national expectations. These children are known as persistently absent when their attendance falls below 90%. I will be making telephone calls to parents of these children.
Thank you for your continued support with our attendance drive. It is really appreciated.
Home/School Agreement
For this reason, we're asking all parents to complete the Home/School Agreement form found at the link below. The Agreement includes permissions for technology use and local visits to name a few. Please complete it as soon as possible. Our admin team will continue to send the Agreement to you until we receive a response.
Thank you for your support with this.
