Information on Cool Milk
Dear parents and carers
For those who are interested, please see the link below for a letter from Cool Milk detailing information on how to register your child for milk at school.
You can also download the leaflet from the attachment on this news article. If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the school office.
Easter Picnic
It looks like we will have traditional British picnic weather today - rain!
The picnic is likely to be held inside if the forecast is correct. However we do go out to play in all weathers, so everyone, including adults, will need to make sure they are well prepared with a warm and dry coat. Children are used to being out and about and tend to move around more at playtimes, so adults may feel the effects of the weather more than they do. Feel free to bring a hot drink in an thermal cup as well as your water bottle.
We look forward to welcoming friends and family for the Easter celebrations from 11:00 this morning.
