Monday 21st July will consist of fun full school sports, craft and other activities; therefore children can come to school in their favourite sports clothing and to support ‘Run With It’, we are asking that children bring a cash donation into school on the day (suggestion £1- though any amount is appreciated).

Autumn Census Day
2025-10-02
Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6
Next Thursday is national Census Day for all primary schools, where (amongst other key figures) the number of Key Stage 1 children staying for school dinners that day is recorded. This figure (along with the same figure recorded on the January 2026 Census Day) then determines how much Universal Infant Free School Meal (UIFSM) grant the School receives. This UIFSM grant is paid to the School to cover the cost of the provision of free school meals for our children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and is paid at the rate of £2.61 per day, throughout the school year, for every child that stays for a meal on those October and January census days (a total of £495.90 per eligible child).
So with this in mind, we are tweaking the menu next week to encourage as many children as possible to stay for a hot school meal on Thursday. Please see the menu for the day (click here) – Beef Burger (Veggie Burger for vegetarians), Wedges, Sweetcorn, Garden Peas, and Waffle with Chocolate Sauce for dessert!
May we please ask you to encourage your EYFS/KS1 child to stay for a hot meal that day or to try a hot school meal for the first time, if they have not already done so! Any additional income is very important for the School, so we do hope you can help. Thank you.
