Christmas Dinner
Week beginning 12th December pupils have the opportunity to enjoy Christmas dinner in school. This will be served to different year groups on different days. This is so that pupils can eat their Christmas dinner in the hall and enjoy a festive experience. Due to the fact that the kitchen will be cooking over 200 Christmas dinners daily there will be a different menu for the rest of the school on their non Christmas dinner day please see below.
Christmas dinner will be roast turkey with the trimmings and there is also a vegetarian option which is festive and vegetarian sausage puff.

If your child is choosing to have school dinner please make sure that their sQuid account is topped up, the cost of a Christmas dinner is £2.37. The universal free school meal offer is still applicable for our KS1/EYFS pupils.
Stay & Learn
Thank you to all parents who have attended our stay and learn sessions that term. We hope that you have found them informative and useful. We are looking forward to inviting you back into school during the summer term when we will provide parents with further information into how we teach maths and what children need to be able to do to be successful.
Christmas Concerts
We are thrilled to invite parents to our Christmas Concerts next week. The pupils have rehearsed their lines and are pitch perfect ready to sing their hearts out! Parents should have received their tickets, please ensure that you bring your tickets with you on the day, we only have capacity in the hall for two parents per pupil. Thank you for your support in advance.
The concerts for Nursery, reception, years 1 and 2 will take place in the Charlton hall, which is the hall in our new building. Please wait at the gate on Faringdon Avenue and have your tickets ready for collection.
The concerts for years 3,4,5&6 will take place in the Sorrell hall and we ask that parents wait at the side door, which is to the left of the main office door.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Christmas performances next which I have no doubt will be absolutely wonderful. .
