𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 & 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬

We’re now on the first menu for the Autumn Term.
As a reminder, we have a 7-day notice policy, and with over 60 schools to prepare meals for, we’re unfortunately unable to add any missed meals once that deadline has passed.

Please log in to your Local Food Links account and check that you have meals ordered for next week and onwards.

If you’re missing any days, please make sure to send your child in with a packed lunch.

If your child qualifies for Targeted funding and has no meals ordered, please email us at [email protected]

We’ve got lots of exciting and delicious meals on the menu next week and there’s still time to order for next Monday onwards, right up until Friday 6th November.

Head over to https://my.localfoodlinks.org.uk/ to place your orders today.
And remember, meals are FREE for all Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 children!

We are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow! 🌟

Just a quick reminder of our morning times:

8:35am – Gates open
8:45am - Bell goes and all children should be in school and ready to learn.

Mr Marklew will be on the gate to welcome you all back. See you in the morning! 👋🏫

A huge congratulations to our amazing young readers who have achieved the incredible milestone of reading 200 books this year! 🎉📖

To celebrate their dedication, perseverance and love of reading, each child was invited to choose a brand-new book of their own from our local bookshop. 📚💙

Reading opens the door to new worlds, sparks imagination and helps children grow in confidence and knowledge. We are so proud of these fantastic readers for their commitment and enthusiasm throughout the year.

A special thank you to our local bookshop for helping our children find the perfect book to enjoy and treasure. 😊

Well done to all our 200-book champions – what an amazing achievement! ⭐👏

What an absolutely brilliant day Year 5 & 6 have had on their residential! 🌲✨

Our adventurers have been non-stop since morning, showing off some serious skills and fantastic teamwork. Here is a quick look at what they've been up to today:

🏹 Archery: We definitely have some future Robin Hoods in the making! Everyone gave it their all and cheered each other on.

🥾 Scenic Walk: We took a lovely walk to explore the beautiful surroundings and get some fresh air.

🤝 Teamwork Games: From problem-solving challenges to hilarious group games, it was amazing to see Year 5 & 6 working together and supporting one another.

🍔 BBQ Tonight! We wrapped up an incredible day by filling up on a delicious BBQ dinner.
Everyone is happy, well-fed, and definitely ready for a good night's sleep before tomorrow's adventures!
