Dear Parents/Carers,
Rights of the child : January 2029 - Article 14
Right to be the best that we can be.
Happy New Year. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas break. It was lovely to welcome back the children to school. We had 3 new nursery children join our class with Mrs. Thomas and her team, and although it's a nerve wracking time for parents it's an exciting time for us and especially for them, as they settle into school to begin their educational journey. We hope they are very happy along with all of other children that attend our wonderful school. Remember, if you have a concern please do not hesitate to contact us.
School lunches
The link for school lunches is on the school website. Please feel free to check what food choices are available for your child.
Fruit at break
Fresh fruit is available to break time for 30p. We are doing our best to provide a wide variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables. Next week we hope to have, Navel Oranges and Kiwis! We all need vitamin C at this time of year!
Request to leave school early
We have a number of requests from parents/carers asking to collect their child/ren early from school. This has become common place and is something we want to avoid. We encourage parents to make dental/optician appointments outside of school hours. We appreciate that sometimes emergency treatment is necessary. Going forward please can parents complete the following link to request an early departure from school. Please see the following link:
