Monk Fryston Newsletter 4.7.25

Remember to be present.

Our school attendance in the week before half term was 95.9%. This has fallen again and is below our target of 97%, so please ensure that your child continues to attend every day.

Our collective worship theme for next week is Trust. Please take time to talk to your child about this.

Well done to the following children who have this week followed our Lunchtime Code;

Rec - Jimmy Doran & Luna Swallow

Year 1 - Frida Woolley & Seb Cross

Year 2 - Luca Denham & Honey Waters

Year 3 - Leo Cross & Nahla Murape

Year 4 - Emma Bainbridge & Thomas Cleary

Year 5 - Grace Shields & Poppy O'Connell-Twort

Year 6 - Alfie Burdon & Lexi-Mae Wilkinson

We are really looking forward to the family bbq this evening. Please do come along and support us.

You should receive your child’s learning review report next Tuesday. This is their reflection on their academic year, and the teacher’s response. If you don’t receive this by Wednesday please let the office know.

The PTA AGM takes place in school on Tuesday at 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome.

Thank you for getting sponsors for the athlete visit last week. This was a great event, and children were really inspired to hear Jenny’s story.

We hope that your child enjoyed transition day this week and are excited about their next class. Teachers are organising welcome meetings to make sure that all families understand how their class will run next year.

The KS2 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream takes place next Thursday at 2.00pm and 6.30pm.

​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.
