Dear parents,
If you haven’t yet paid for your child’s visit to Hoo Zoo on the new Weduc app, you will not yet have indicated their packed lunch choices for their trip (which is part of the payment process).
The kitchen staff need their orders by tomorrow (Tuesday 28th February) at the latest please so they can place the food order and get it delivered in time for next week’s visit.
Thank you!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mrs Hilditch’s ‘Born to Move’ after-school club has had to be cancelled today (Monday 27th February) and next Monday (6th March). Please collect your child at 3.15pm.
Apologies for the short notice and any inconvenience caused.
Due to Parents Evening taking place in the school hall this Tuesday afternoon (28th Feb) and Thursday afternoon (2nd March), Wraparound afternoon sessions will be held in the Library demountable building on the playground. Please collect your child from the Library building on those evenings.
(All other Wraparound sessions will be held in the school hall as normal).
We have just had another understandable complaint from a local resident about being regularly blocked in on their driveway by parents dropping off or collecting their children. This is unacceptable – as per section 243 the Highway Code, you must not park:
So, just another friendly reminder to parents who transport their child/ren to and from school by car to please:
Thank you.

Mrs Thomas (our amazing cook) is now offering a school packed lunch on the days that your child goes on a class visit somewhere. This can be ordered through the Weduc app as you would pre-order any normal hot school dinner and costs the usual £2.50 (or is free if your child is eligible for free school meals).
Your child’s school packed lunch will consist of:
This year’s World Book Day takes place on Thursday 2nd March and this year, we would like pupils to dress up as a character inspired by a hero from the ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ book series. This also ties in with our continent week where classes will focus on a ‘Little Hero’ linked to their continent. Please note: dress up does not need to be characters from pupils’ continent or the ‘Little Hero’ they are studying.
We encourage homemade costumes as much as possible – if you need any further ideas, please contact your child’s class teacher.
