Headteacher's Welcome

It has been a super week in school with the Reception children impressing their audiences with their amazing Spring Concert. The children sang so confidently and had some fabulous moves - it really was a total joy to watch!

I hope you all have a lovely break over the Easter holidays. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and you will be able to enjoy some fun family times.

The children loved the Easter Egg Hunt yesterday in the woodland - thanks to all the PTA volunteers who organised it - it was fantastic!!!

Mrs Turton has been busy over the past two weeks with children from all classes to paint our lion cub. Our Lion is now ready to join the Pride of Yorkshire trail this summer. Children contributed their ideas to the question 'What are you proud of in our school?' They had some super ideas and worked together to create our fabulous lion cub.

Well done everyone!!!! And special thanks to Mrs Turton for coordinating this fantastic project! We will keep you update about where our Lion cub will be on the trail and when you can go and see it for yoursleves!

School Meals Survey

Thanks to those of you who have completed our School Meals survey and shared your views.

We will leave this survey open until after the Easter holidays to ensure everyone has time to complete it if they wish.

Our school meals are provided by a company, Taylor Shaw, who have been commissioned by Sheffield City Council.

We are seeking views from parents about the meals that are offered in school.

Please click the link below to tell us what you think - if your child has a packed lunch we would still like to hear the reasons for choosing a packed lunch over a school dinner.

Thanks.

Public Health Update

In light of the recent cases of invasive meningococcal disease reported in Kent, Sheffield public health services are reminding parents and carers about the importance of ensuring children and young people are up to date with routine vaccinations.

In particular, we would like to highlight the importance of the 6-in-1 (DTaP/IPV/Hib/HepB) vaccine and the MenB (meningococcal B) vaccine, which are offered across several doses in the first 18 months of life. These vaccines provide vital protection against serious illnesses, including meningitis and sepsis. While these are usually given in infancy, children who have missed one or more doses can still catch up.

It also crucial to ensure children are fully vaccinated against measles, as we know the disease continues to circulate in Yorkshire.

If any doses have been missed, they can be caught up by contacting your child’s GP practice or by attending a local School Age Immunisation Service (SAIS) drop-in clinic. Further information on clinic locations and times is available here:
