- School Dinners – After the half term, we are introducing a new layout to our current school menu with a band system. Your child will still be asked each morning what they will be having for their school lunch. Depending on their choice, they will be given a band to wear to confirm this. The options will be as follows: Meat (red), Vegetarian (green), Deli (blue). Pupils who have a special menu in place due to dietary needs will also wear a yellow band as well as their chosen meal. To view the new menu, please click here where you will see the colours linked to the meals.
- New Topic Letters – You can find your child’s new topic letter here. These letters detail the new learning and ways you can support your child at home.
- The Kedzior Award – We are super proud to announce this half term’s Kedzior Award winners are: Adam C and Jada B. Adam achieved this award for donating new toys to a charity called ‘Toys on the Table’ during the Christmas period. Jada achieved this award for giving her time to volunteer at her local church for the past 8 months! She has been using her amazing skills and talent, playing the drums and the piano for the congregation. These pupils are excellent role models and have been rewarded with a certificate; a Headteacher’s pick of the pot and have chosen a whole class treat.
