Beer Festival
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. Advance tickets are on sale now www.beerfans.co.uk
Fundraising Day Friday 12th July.
Some pupils in Year 4 are organising a fundraising day next Friday, 12th July, in aid of the RSPCA. Children are invited to come to school in different clothes in return for a donation, and there will be games and activities for them to try during playtimes.
Thank you for coming to the BBQ last week.
Thank you to everyone who came to the PTA bbq last week. It was a lovely event and it was nice to see so many people there. Money is still being counted, but we think we raised over £1250 which is wonderful.

Free school meals for all years for pupils whose families receive financial 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.
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.
