Good News everyone!  Chartwells have called this afternoon to advise that School Meals will be back to normal from Monday.  The menu next week is Week 3.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding this week and providing your children with sandwiches.

Chartwell’s have asked us to apologise on their behalf for the incorrect menu being served today as we had another cook covering in the kitchen.  The children had beef burgers today and will now be having fish fingers and wedges on Monday.  Once again apologies on their behalf.

Due to Shropshire Council recently making alterations to the next Academic Year to designate Thursday 21st July 2022 as the additional Bank Holiday for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee (this is actually on Thursday 2nd June 2022 during Half Term week), we have had to amend our PD Days.  The PD Day which was on 21st July 2022 has now moved to Tuesday 1st March 2022.  Attached is the revised Term and Holidays dates document.

We are moving to a new way of ordering school uniform.  After half term ordering of school uniform will be directly with the supplier Bristow Club and Sport in Bridgnorth via their website www.schooluniformfactory.co.uk.  Many local schools already successfully use this system for school uniform.

When you order you will be given the option of collection from the shop, free delivery to school or if you would like this sooner you can pay for postage to your home address.  Payment will be by debit or credit card.  Below is an updated list of uniform which will be available and prices.

We do hold small stocks of uniform but will not be replacing these once they are sold.  Stock of all items for age 5/6 is good, please contact the school office to enquire about items in other sizes.

Uniform orders from June 2021

Have your circumstances changed over the last year?  If so, your child may be entitled to Free School Meals, see the qualifying criteria below.

Even if your child is in Class 1 or 2 and entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals, applying now means they can continue to receive a free meal in Key Stage 2.  Schools are also provided with additional funding called Pupil Premium to support or enhance the learning of those pupils who receive free meals.

Claiming doesn’t mean that your child has to take a school meal every day, they can still bring a packed lunch if they wish.

You can apply quickly on-line at www.shropshire.gov.uk/free-school-meals/apply-for-free-school-meals or completing the application form below and e-mailing to fsm@shropshire.gov.uk.
