Just a reminder that no children should be bringing in toys or regulation/sensory items such as squishies. If your child needs a regulation item they are available in every classroom.
If a child brings them in we will take them and return them to you at the end of the day. Thank you.

Many of our parents and carers have not yet applied for FREE school meals.
Even if you have previously been eligible you MUST reapply.
Please follow the link below to apply asap.

We hope that you are enjoying the summer break.

Just a quick reminder to all families and to those joining us in September that you need to do the school meals from by the end of August!

This means for all children joining in September in Reception and any other year groups, and for all existing children going into Years 1,2,3,4,5,6. Even if it says you are not eligible at the end, this does not affect your free school meals in reception, Y1 and Y2. Your child can still have these!

Not sure quite sure what's what? Go to our frequently asked questions page: https://www.extendlearning.org/Free-school-meals-FSM-FAQs/ and hopefully this will tell you what you need to know.

This is also on your school website under Parent/Carer Information.

As we are on summer break, comments may not be answered so please do not post personal information or questions that you are awaiting an answer to. ☀😀
