Our collective worship value next week is forgiveness. Please take time to talk to your child about this.

We have had a great first week back! Thank you to all children for coming in so settled and ready to learn, choosing a positive attitude every day.

Don’t forget that our PTA runs a 100 Club with monthly draws for a cash prize. We are making a change to subscriptions this year, and are only offering annual subscriptions which will run throughout the academic year. These can be purchased on ParentPay. Numbers for the first draw in September must be purchased by Thursday 21st – please do support us.

We want to start off the year in the way we mean to go on, so please remember to use our one-way system down the slope and up the steps when coming into school. Thank you.

Could you ensure you send your child to school with a coat every day. They will be playing out in all weathers.

Please see the message below from Vaccination UK.

Vaccination UK is attending your child's school for flu vaccinations on 14/11/2024.

For your child to receive their Nasal flu vaccination in school, please complete a YES consent form using the link below.

https://yny.schoolvaccination.uk/flu/2024/northyorkshire

If your child cannot have the Nasal spray, the injectable flu vaccine is available, and you will be able to choose that method on the consent form.

If you DO NOT wish for your child to have a flu vaccination, please complete a NO consent via the same link.

Please complete the form either way and as soon as possible. Thank you.

We have an open evening for prospective new families on Wednesday 25th September from 4pm – 6pm. Please do share this with any families who might be interested in a place at our school.

The PTA AGM will take place at 7.30pm on 24th September, in the Year 6 classroom. Everyone is welcome to come along and find out what the PTA are planning for the coming year.

North Yorkshire Health & Care partnership has launched a new website which provides wellbeing and mental health support for young people. This can be found at www.thegoto.org.uk

Please help save time in the classroom by pre-ordering your child's school meals on ParentPay. This will give you chance to discuss the options with them and encourage them to try different things. We have a great menu this term. Thank you for your support.

​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.
