Christmas Dinner Wednesday 11th December
Christmas lunch will be held this year on Wednesday 11th December.  These must be pre-ordered via the survey on the website by 4pm on Friday 22nd November.  If you miss the deadline you will need to provide a packed lunch on the day as nothing else from the usual menu will be available to order on the day.  The cost of Christmas dinner for KS2 children is £2.80 the same as other meals.  This can be paid in cash in a named envelope to the office, or via the school website.  Those children requiring an allergen menu can respond to the survey in the same way.

Our Head Pupils have done a fantastic job of representing school this week.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!
