Pupils who arrive after 9am will be marked as 'late'. The registers close at 9:10am, and in line with our policy any children arriving after this time will be classed as 'unauthorised absence'.

A pupil in Year 3 is organising a charity day in aid of Cats Protection on Friday 7th February. Children can come into school in non-uniform that day in return for a donation of either £1 or some cat food.

We are delighted that Mrs Watt, our cook, will also be working as a Teaching Assistant during the afternoons from next week. Mrs Clukin will also work as mid-day supervisor at lunchtimes.

The York Wargames Show takes place at the racecourse on Sunday 2nd February from 10am – 3pm. Children get in free.

​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.
