Ground Force Day – Saturday 7th May 10am-2pm. As Summer time approaches, the school would like to improve the school grounds with the help of as many parents as possible. It will involve some trimming, weeding, planting and clearing of paths. The large planter and seat outside the Annex building will be removed as the wooden frame is now rotting. It will be replaced, in due course, with play equipment once funds have been raised. If you would be able to help, even for a short time, we would be very grateful for your support. The more the merrier!!

Aspens Menu Change – on Thursday 19th & Friday 20th May Aspens have swapped the menu so that Fish Fingers & Chunky Chips will be on the menu for Thursday not Friday. The swap is only for these dates. Please check your orders have been changed if necessary. Aspens have also asked that parents check with their children whether they have enjoyed the meal ordered for them. With the new summer term menu from Aspens, we have found a lot of children have not liked the meals ordered for them and therefore eat very little.
