| Latest update – 7.9.21 |
| Good afternoon and what a lovely sunny day!
Two days back in and it’s like we haven’t been away. Everyone is settling in to the routines and rhythms of the school day, but I think we will all be very tired by the end of the week. There is a lot to update you all on already, so please take the time to check items that are relevant to you. In this update
Entry into school has been very successful with children entering the yard on their own. On collection, we ask that parents find a white box (one per parent) and move forward to empty boxes as the children with parents in the front row are collected. Today parents moved forward too quickly which created a long line and made it difficult to see. Once you are at the front row of boxes your child will be sent to you. Please then exit via the fence side of the yard. Thank you for your helping in making the process as quick, easy and as safe as possible for you and the children.
We are very confident that we will be able to supply hot meal options from Monday 13th September. Lunch options need to be booked by 10pm Wednesday the week before (8.9.21 for week beginning 13.9.21) via Parent Pay. Any child who does not have their lunches booked, will be given a cold meal option.
Please can we ask that parents who send their children in with a packed lunch to remember to put a bottle of water or juice in with it please. The Packed lunch menu for weeks 1-3 can be seen below.
The milk money for the autumn term is now live on Parent Pay, its £9.10 per term. This has to be paid for by Friday 10th September otherwise your child won’t receive milk this term. If you think you are eligible for FSM (Free School Meals) please pop in to the office and pick up an application form.
Reception to Y6 pupils are all eligible to have the vaccination although it is not compulsory. Forms will be sent home tomorrow. They have to be returned by Tuesday 14th September 2021 at the latest as the Nurse is collecting all the forms on Wednesday 15th September. Parents need to complete the form even if they DO NOT wish their child to be vaccinated. 6. Sign up for emails Please don’t miss out on school information. Sign up for the latest emails at https://forms.gle/jR2ogaMNqbcqtYFv8 Thank you for working with us whilst the building work is completed. KS2 exit will become much easier once children can leave via the ramp. Many thanks |
