6TH APRIL 2016 Dear Parents,

THANK YOU Thank you all for your continued support over the spring term. I wish you all a very happy holiday and hope that you have a relaxing family break. School re-opens on Monday 25th April.

SUPER PUPILS – FRIDAY 1ST APRIL

Y6 BOREATTON PARK

There are still some outstanding payments for the Year 6 children going to Boreatton Park in June. Please ensure the payment is made by Friday 8th April.

DINING WITH PARENTS – FEEDBACK Pat, our cook, would like to thank all parents who took the time to respond to the ‘Dining with Parents’ questionnaire, she is grateful to receive so many responses and hear that you enjoyed the meal. In response to some of your comments: Pat uses organic pasta, flour, rice and dairy products in all school meals. Fresh fruit, yoghurt and salad are offered every day, as stated in the menu, in addition to a varied choice of meal. On a Friday we offer ‘Friday Favourites’ to pupils; these are meals particularly favoured and enjoyed by pupils. Many of our pupils in Key Stage 2 switch from a packed lunch to a school dinner on this day!
