Did you know that every child in the Infant phase of school is entitled to a free school meal under the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal Scheme?  Now that the weather is getting colder it may be that your child would like a warm meal at lunchtime.  To pre-book a meal for your child log onto www.parentpay.com and make your choices.  The latest you can book is 2 days in advance but if you forget we can book a meal for your child if you contact the school office.  You can currently book until the end of term

If you would like another copy of the user name and activation code for your child please contact the school office and we will e-mail this to you.

You can find out more information on the FSM Qualifying Criteria letter below (final paragraph).  However, if you feel that your child may be eligible for Government Free School Meals which will ensure that they can continue to receive free meals once they go into Year 3 there is a copy of the form which you can complete (or click on the link in the letter to complete online).  We encourage you to apply for Free School Meals as soon as possible as the school receive an additional payment for FSM children and this can be used to assist with other school activities.

Did you know that as a resident of Shropshire you can access free courses to help with some of the challenges of being a parent and understand more about how your child may be feeling.  There is help for expectant parents as well as parents of babies up to teenagers and as some courses are offered face to face it is a chance to meet with other parents who may be experiencing the same challenges.  There is also a course designed specifically for teenagers to help them understand how their brain is changing.  Please see the attached posters for more information on how to book onto these courses.

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.
