Dear parents and carers,
Our amazing School Council have organised a Pyjama Day on Wednesday 21st October to help raise funds towards repairing the rope swing in our playground!
We hope all the children enjoy coming to school in their pyjamas and that we can raise lots of money to support our School Council in bringing this project to life.
All cash donations can be sent into school with your child.
Thank you, as always, for your kind support!
Please find below Mrs Saltmer’s letter about our Sponsored Read which will be taking placing between Monday 12th and Friday 16th October.

Please be aware that there will be a change to the school lunch menu on Thursday 1st October. On this day, the menu will be a Space themed meal.
All children in Class 1 and Class 2 will be provided with a meal free of charge. If your child does not wish to have a school meal, they are, of course, welcome to bring a packed lunch from home.
There will be no jacket potato or sandwich option on this day only.
You can read more about our school meals, including information about Free School Meals and the Pupil Premium, on this page of our website.
Thank you to everyone who came to our meeting for the families of children in EYFS and Year 1 today. The slides from the presentation are below for your convenience.

You should apply for your child to start primary or infant school in the school year your child turns four. For entry into Reception in the September 2027 school year, children will have been born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023.
If your child is four, or will have their fourth birthday by the end of August 2027, it is time to think about applying for a school place for them!
