The annual PTA and Community Association Beer Festival is coming up in September. This year, there is more of a general ‘festival’ feel, with a range of things happening on the Saturday. Tickets are on sale now, and sponsorship opportunities are still open. We are recruiting volunteers to help with the event, which is a great way to be involved in the community.

We received our Year 6 statutory assessment (SATS) results this week. Our children did very well indeed, and we are very proud of them all. Our results were the highest of any school in STAR.

The KS2 production takes place next Tuesday afternoon and evening. We do know that this will be a popular event, so please be prepared to stand if no seats are available.

The Leavers Service takes place in church on Monday at 9.30am. All are welcome, but please leave the pews for the school to use (additional seating for adults will be available at the back)

The Leavers Assembly will take place in the school hall at 2pm next Friday.

Please ensure that your child takes all their belongings home during next week. The school will be thoroughly cleaned during the summer closure and no lost property will be kept.

The PTA AGM takes place in school on Thursday 19th September at 7.30pm. Please save the date – everyone is welcome.

​If you are in receipt of certain benefits, your child could also qualify for free school meals during all school years. To qualify you must be receiving:

• Universal Credit, provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods (£616.67 per month)

• Income Support

• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

• Support under part six of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

• The guarantee element of Pension Credit

• Child Tax Credit, provided you are also not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual household gross income that does not exceed £16,190 (as assessed by HMRC)

• Working Tax Credit run-on, paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

Please note that contributions-based benefits, including contribution-related Jobseekers' Allowance do not entitle you to claim free school meals.

Apply for free school meals

You will receive an instant decision on whether your application is successful. If it is, we will fully process the application in 5 working days and notify the school. Once the school has received this your child can begin enjoying free school meals. You should continue to pay until confirmation comes through. Schools may be able to arrange reimbursement of payment made while your entitlement is being confirmed.

Free school meals claims cannot be backdated. They are awarded from the date we receive the application, once eligibility is confirmed. This is because there is a legal requirement for a request to be made, before a free school meal can be provided. If you are not entitled to free school meals, you will be notified in writing.
