Harvest – A reminder that our Harvest Assembly will take place on Wednesday 3rd October at 9.15am. The whole school will contribute to the assembly which parents are very welcome to attend. Children are requested to bring food items on that morning directly to the school hall before 8.50am and not to the classrooms. These will then be boxed up and distributed to elderly residents in Woodcote. If you know of any elderly residents who would appreciate receiving a box please let us know in the school office. Also we need some parents to assist with boxing up after the assembly and with distributing in the village, again please let us know in the school office.
Free School Dinners – Free school dinners are available for children in families claiming Income Support or Income Based Jobseeker’s Allowance. If you would like to claim free meals for your child/children (even if they will only require a dinner occasionally) please ask in the school office for a form to complete so that your entitlement can be checked. It is important that we have this information since it affects school funding.
