• Summer Milk

  Fri 17 Mar 2023

  The cost of school milk for the summer term (Monday 17th April - Friday 21st July) is £13.02.

  If you would like your child to have milk for the summer term, you will need to make an online payment through sQuid, by no later than 9am on Monday 27th March 2023.

  No late orders will be processed.

  We will take payment for milk as authority to order your child’s milk for the summer term.

  Children who qualify for income based free school meals are entitled to free milk, and this will be ordered automatically for them.

  If your child will be under the age of 5 on Monday 17th April, they will still be entitled to free milk and this will be ordered automatically for them.

  If your child is now 5 years of age (or they will have turned 5 before Monday 17th April) and they do not qualify for income based free school meals, you will need to make the above payment.

  If you haven’t already set up your sQuid account or if you have any queries, please speak to a member of staff in the office.

• World Book Day

  Fri 10 Feb 2023

  World Book Day -  Thursday 2nd March 2023

  We are very excited that the 2023 World Book Day is not far away now!

  Mindful of the current cost-of-living pressures faced by many, the theme of this World Book Day will be 'Snuggle Up with a Good Book'. Rather than dressing up in character costumes, we will be encouraging the children to come to school in their cosies - pyjamas, dressing gowns, onesies (where appropriate!) and blankets are all encouraged. The children are also welcome to bring their favourite stories along with them.

  Please ensure the children still have appropriate outdoor footwear for the yard though!

  We look forward to sharing lots of stories and poems together.
