Our new caterers have started this week and we are working closely with them to get things right for our school.  The first few days are always hard as children have been used to the previous menu choices (in terms of options, presentation etc.) We have had to start with a generic menu whilst we agree what our school menu will look like moving forwards.  Over the coming weeks the children will be consulted with about this.

The children's photographs are being sent home this week.  Orders must be placed by Monday 18th November.

A second group of Junior PCSOs took part in a litter pick around school.  Local residents, the Litterwatch staff and PCSOs all praised their behaviour and hard work.
