We have been informed of an exciting prize won by Panda Class through the Buster’s Book Club reading initiative.

On 24th May the class showed a huge increase on their previous week’s reading total and as a result have won a bundle of books!

These books will be put into Panda Class for the children to share and enjoy.

Well done Pandas!

From September the cost of a school meal will increase to £2.43 per day. Please make sure that you have enough credit on your child’s account to cover the cost of their meals.

Also, if your child is moving from year 2 to year 3 and they are not eligible for free school meals please make sure that you have set up their new Caterlink account in time for the return to school in September...

There will be a change of menu on Thursday 7th July as Caterlink will be providing a special meal to celebrate the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

Children should order this meal in the same way as usual.
