We would like to invite you to a Coffee and Cake Evening to discuss our new Behaviour Policy and provide an opportunity for parents and carers to ask questions and gain a greater understanding of our expectations and procedures.

The event will take place on Tuesday 15th September, with two available sessions:

· 4:00pm

· 5:30pm

We warmly welcome any parent or carer who would like to learn more about the changes to the policy, discuss how it will be implemented, and ask any questions they may have.

If you would like to discuss the new Behaviour Policy but are unable to attend either session, please contact us via email at [email protected], and a member of the team will be happy to support you.

Equally, our new behaviour policy is on our website if you would like to read through it.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Throughout September 2026, we will be taking part in Snack-tember, an initiative from theBritish Nutrition Foundation, which promotes healthier, more sustainable snacking for children and young people aged 5-16 years.
During Snack-tember, we will be encouraging pupils to:
• EXPLORE better snacking
• TRY new snacks
• MAKE their own healthy snacks
We want our young people to choose and make snacks that have:
• MORE vegetables and fruit 🍎
• MORE wholegrains, beans and pulses 🌾
• LESS saturated fat, salt and sugars ❌
We will be:
⭐ Providing a FREE healthy snack every Friday break time throughout September.
⭐ Sharing some snack recipes - please see Miss Henderson if you would like more information.
⭐Juice bar in the middle of September.
We hope our parents/carers will get involved too!
