Dear Parents / Carers,
We have had a lovely settled week this week and it has been great to see the amazing learning that is already going on in school. The children are enthusiastic about their learning and it has been a calm and purposeful start to the year.
I am pleased to have a new Head boy and girl in place already. Congratulations to Freddie and Ella who wrote excellent, thoughtful and well considered speeches for the panel of myself, Mr Priory and Mrs Cameron. I know that they will carry out their roles with pride this year. The school vote for our new team captains also takes place today so I am looking forward to seeing who will take on these sought after positions.
You may have received a call from the school office this week regarding school dinners. The new Trust pre-ordering system means that we don't know if your child has a packed lunch or if you have just forgotten to preorder a dinner, therefore it would help us a lot if all parents could use the system to confirm whether your child requires a school dinner or whether they have a packed lunch. The system can be pre-populated for the whole term or year to make it less onerous so if you know your child has a packed lunch every day, then you only need to pre-fill it for the whole year once. Thanks in advance for this.
Finally, Reverend Paulie has asked me to remind you that the parish Harvest Festival service takes place on Sunday 24th September at St. Marys. All are welcome and if any of the children would like to perform a song, read a poem or a short piece or perform in some way at the service, then please contact Revd. Paulie in advance. They would be grateful for donations of toiletries, tinned foods, nappies etc. Our school harvest festival will take place on Wednesday 4th October for the children in school.
Have a lovely weekend,
Karen Williams
Head Teacher
