We break up for the Easter Holidays today and return to school on Monday 29th April. We hope everyone enjoys the break.

The school dinner menu will change after the Easter Holidays and children have been given new menus this week to bring home.

If your child would prefer sandwiches for lunch these can be ordered from the kitchen. Children can choose from ham, cheese, tuna mayonnaise or egg mayonnaise on a choice of wrap or bread (50/50). They will also be able to choose from either a biscuit or piece of cake; organic yoghurt or fresh fruit; cheese portion or packet of raisins.

Sandwich order forms need to be returned to school by Thursday prior to the week the sandwich is ordered. Order forms can be downloaded from the school website (Office \ School Dinner Menu) or are available from the school office.

School dinners are £2.30 per day (Years 3 – 6). Please ensure your child’s dinner account is kept in credit at all times.

Apologies for the short notice in the cancellation of the race this week at Chetwynd Deer Park due to a burst water main. At this time no decision has been made by the organisers on whether they will run the final race and if so the date. We will keep you updated when we know more.

Please remember to return any of the school PE tops that you might have at home.

Thank you
