As we approach the Easter holidays, many of our Key Workers may require care for children.
Although our school will close to all pupils on THURSDAY 2nd APRIL until MONDAY 20th APRIL, we are delighted that, across our Multi Academy Trust, we have two organisations open and offering to provide this care most days, both of whom would welcome children of those parents who have to work in their roles as Key Workers in these uncertain times. If you require this service during Easter, commencing Friday 3rd April, please contact one of organisations below for further details.

Today we would like to encourage everyone who is at home to make a rainbow to put in their windows or doors. Use these rainbows as a reminder that this storm will pass, and we will all see our rainbow soon.

As you know, some children are eligible for Free School Meals, depending upon a number of factors.
During this period of school closure, the provision of these lunches will continue for those families who let us know us that they wish to receive them, but as you would expect, this will be done in a different way.
As this may be a little confusing, just to clarify: all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are currently eligible for a daily school meal as part of the Government’s ‘Universal Infant Free School Meals’ initiative. This is different to ‘Free School Meals’.
Being in receipt of ‘Free School Meals’, also currently provides benefits for children when in school, and includes provision of lunch items during the school day (in term-time) during this period of closure due to the Coronavirus. To see if your child is eligible for ‘Free School Meals’ please click here and visit the 'School Dinners' section for more information. **If you have previously completed the application and your child currently receives Free School Meals (not solely as part of the 'Universal Infant Free School Meals' programme), then there is no need to reapply.

Thanks to a very generous gift from a local community group of bookworms the school has been able to purchase some books for the school library. This helps promote our love for reading and ensuring that pupils are reading for pleasure with some great book titles, from classics like The Railway Children, scary stories from Goosebumps to fun with David Walliams. This positive impact on the school comes from our close working relationship with our local community, thanks once again to all those that contributed so generously!

Pupils across school enjoyed a party to come together as they prepared to finish school earlier than expected. They played party games, danced and laughed the afternoon away. Despite the tears the children made the day enjoyable as they embarked on spending some time away from school in these unprecedented times.

Mothers look set to be surprised this year as pupils buy and then wrap gifts for their mums. From a variety of gifts, pupils could make up gift collections and then wrap them in preparation for Mothering Sunday. Thank you to those who supported the event and we hope you all have a lovely day in which mums are pampered and given at least one day off!
