Friends of the School…Thank you to the many parents who responded to the call for support in establishing a new Friends committee; we had a very positive meeting earlier this week. We have now filled the main committee positions and look forward to holding our first meeting on Tuesday at 7pm (immediately after parents evening). This meeting will focus on planning the events for this term; consequently, we need a good turn out and parents should attend even if they are only able to commit themselves to assist in a minor way.

Harvest Festival…will be held at St Edmunds on Thursday at 10am. You can help by: 
  • Sending in fruit and vegetable to make up hampers to be donated to the Community if you have children in the Nursery and Reception classes.
  • Sending in a donation to charity (Years 1 to 6). The School Council will be choosing a charity at the beginning of next week. 
  • Volunteering to help walk the children to the church, both for the rehearsal (Wednesday at 1.30pm) and the festival itself on Thursday. We particularly need assistance with the Nursery and Reception children. Please let your child’s class teacher know if you can help.


School Dinners this Week
Monday – Mini-Grill
Tuesday – Chicken Curry
Wednesday – Meatballs
Thursday – Roast Beef
Friday – Fish and Chips
