Monk Fryston Newsletter 19.7.24

The annual PTA and Community Association Beer Festival is coming up in September. This year, it is called ‘September Fest’ because 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. Advance tickets are on sale now www.beerfans.co.uk

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

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

Please note that the PTA AGM will now take place on Tuesday 24th September at 7.30pm in school.

Staff would like to thank everyone for their cards, gifts and kind words. Your support throughout the year has been very much appreciated – thank you.

We would like to say goodbye to Mrs Tate who leaves us today to enjoy a well-earned retirement, and thank her for everything that she has done over the last 25 years at our school.

Mrs Pickles ends her term of office as a governor, and chair, today. She has done a great deal for our school over the last 8 years and we would like to thank her for her dedication and commitment.

Don’t forget that school re-opens to pupils on 3rd September.

We're pleased to share with you this year's Summer Voucher Booker from Yorkshire Attractions.

​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.
