📢 Message for Parents and Carers

If you have a lunch booked for your child tomorrow, please note that due to a supplier issue, Chicken Tikka will be served instead of Chicken Korma as stated on the menu.

If you would like to change your child's meal option, please ensure that you do so by 9:00am on Tuesday 16th June 2026.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

✈️ Greetings from Thailand! 🇹🇭

We were thrilled to receive this wonderful photo from Miss Ashleigh and Miss Millie, who are currently spending a month in Thailand as part of their Year 2 University degree.

During their time abroad, they are teaching in local schools and taking the opportunity to learn more about teaching and learning in a different country. They are also enjoying experiencing Thailand's rich culture and delicious food! 🍜

Miss Ashleigh and Miss Millie wanted to let everyone know that they are missing our school community and are looking forward to sharing all of their experiences and everything they have learned when they return. 💙😊

We hope they continue to have an amazing adventure and make memories that will last a lifetime! 🌞✈️📖

⚽🏆 Sporting Success! 🏆⚽

A huge well done to one of our fantastic Year 5 pupils, who took part in two football tournaments over the weekend with his team, SYL Rams! 🌟

👏 An outstanding achievement across 20 games, with their talented goalkeeper conceding just 2 goals all weekend! 🧤⚽
