Anti-Bullying Week 2022 is next week. Children will be reminded of our STOP strategy (bullying = Several Times On Purpose, and if it happens, Start Telling Other People).

Our SIAMS inspection will take place on Monday. The inspector will be looking at how effective our school is in delivering our vision of everyone becoming a successful individual in a loving and caring community.

Coaches from Yorkshire Cricket Club will be leading sessions for our children starting next Thursday, 24th November. Children will not need any special clothing, just their ordinary PE kit.

Thank you for all the kind donations of raffle and tombola prizes for the FOSS Christmas Fayre. There is still time to bring these in before the event on 2nd December.

Calling all singers!

After half term we will be on Week 2 of the New Autumn 2 lunches menu.

Children can decide daily whether they are having a school dinner or packed lunch.

Please ensure you discuss the menu each day with your child so they can decide what they would like to order. Once they know their choices, they will choose this each morning with their teacher during registration.

Each day there are 4 choices, either the hot dinner, hot vegetarian option, jacket potato with a choice of toppings or a sandwich. The sandwich and jacket potato always come with a selection of vegetables/salad on the side and have the full pudding choice for that day.

Packed Lunches - if you are sending grapes in your child's packed lunch, can you please ensure that these are cut in half.

We are delighted to be able to have volunteers into schools again, and would welcome parents to help us. If you are able to give any time to us, either on an ad-hoc or regular basis, you will need to complete a DBS application. Please contact the office for more information.

Don’t forget that if you use Amazon Smile and have registered our school for donations, FOSS will receive a donation. This is a very quick and easy way to make money for our children, so please do remember to keep checking that your orders have been placed this way.

Help raise money for FOSS and label your children's school items. The soft plastic labels can be stuck on machine wash-care labels of clothes, but can also be used on shoes, dishwasher items and general school items.

Please order via the website www.stikins.co.uk and quote Saxton school number 17524

Please be considerate when parking near the school crossing. If parked too close it can be very difficult to see if it is safe to cross, particularly at pick up time-thank you.
