Welcome back to the start of our Summer Term.

Over the holidays the Green Scene Team have been in and made more improvements to our yard. To Jodi, Bev, and their team of volunteers we would like to say a big thank you.

Universal Free School Meals, please see the message below from the Local Authority Catering Team. Further to previous correspondence, we are pleased to announce we will be rolling out free school meals to all year 2 pupils after May half term. Please note this will be automatic and there will be no requirement to apply for the meals. We aim to roll out to further year groups as soon as possible and will update you on our progress in due course.

Rights Respecting School – As a Rights Respecting School, we focus each month on a particular Article from the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child. Assemblies, Circle time and class activities are based on these Rights. In connection with these, we also have a Value of the Month e.g. Together, the Rights & Values encourage our learners to be respectful of each other, safe, and to be the best they can be.

Right of the Month for April – You have the right to practice your own religion.

Value of the Month for April – Trust
