  • Our school caterers are Fresh Start.
  • Choice of a hot meal, vegetarian, jacket potato or a deli/sandwich option.
  • Choice of pudding, fruit and/or yoghurt.
  • Fresh start will send out your log ins so that you can order through meal manager.
  • The best idea is to order for the whole half term.
  • Sharing assembly is held every Friday at 9.00. You are invited to this if your child has had a birthday or if they are sharing work. Our new reception children will start to share work the week after half term. So look out for letters in your child’s book bag.
  • Sharing time is on the last Thursday of the month. These provide opportunities for you to share with your child the things that they have been doing in school. The newsletter gives the dates and the times for each term.
  • A newsletter is sent home at the start of each term giving important dates and information about what is happening in school. This is emailed to you so please check during the first week of each term.
  • The school emails a weekly School Comms each Friday that includes any events for the next week.
  • It is essential that the school has your correct email address for School Comms and Tapestry.

  • Holidays within term time will be an unauthorised absence.
  • All unauthorised absences are reported to Northamptonshire County Council (NCC)
