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 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.
We will be using the Parents Booking online system for the upcoming Autumn Term Parents’ Evenings; this will enable parents/carers to make their own bookings within the available time slots.
The online booking system will open on Thursday 24th September at 8am and close at 12am Friday 16th October. Please ensure your time slot is reserved by this date and time.
For more details, please see Mr Buttery’s letter below.

Families of children in Year 6 – it is now time to start applying for a secondary school place. You can make your application for a secondary school place from 12th September in the year when your child is in Year 6. The national application deadline is 31st October.
Children transfer to secondary school at the beginning of Year 7, and applications must be made in September/October of Year 6. There are a range of activities held each autumn for prospective parents/carers to gain additional information for individual schools.
Prospective pupils can attend school engagement activities in September and October each year. Open Evenings are usually held each autumn for prospective pupils, parents and carers to attend and view schools. Each school holds their event on a different evening and below are the dates that we have been notified of; we advise that you check school websites for confirmation of the Open Evening arrangements.

Please read the Guide for Parents before applying for a school place, it contains key information on school admissions for parents/carers, and a new guide is issued each year in September. You can also find the Guide to School Catchment Areas online.
Applications can be made until 31st October. Late applications can be made after 31st October, though these may be looked at after other applications.
Applicants will be advised of their allocated school from National Offer Day in March.
If you are applying for schools outside of the City of York area or faith schools such as your local Church of England or Roman Catholic Primary or Secondary school, you may also need to provide additional information such as proof of baptism, or fill in a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) which can be found on the CYC website; if the Supplementary Information Form is not listed there please contact the school directly.
You should check with the school directly if a SIF is required, but you must always apply to your home Local Authority.
When applying to start secondary school, your application must be made to the local authority in which you live, that you currently pay your council tax to, even if your school of preference is not in that area.
We are delighted to welcome applications for our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
