PTA Family Bingo Night \u2013 Tonight at 6:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone welcome. \u00a31 per book of ten games, full books with six entries per game \u00a36 or any amount in between depending on the age and ability of the children. (It will make sense when you get there I promise, if not grab me on the playground beforehand!) There will be small prizes for a line and larger prizes for a house in each game – so twenty prizes up for grabs! Tea, coffee & squash will be provided at the interval, but if you would like to bring something stronger to consume you are more than welcome!\u00a0 There will also be a small tuck shop selling a limited range of sweets, crisps etc. We look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n

Miss Race will also be leaving us at the end of term, we are sure you will all join us in wishing her well for the future.<\/p>\n

Mrs Smithson, who has taught piano and recorder here for many years, is also leaving the area this summer.\u00a0 We wish her and her family well in their new venture.<\/p>\n

Dinner Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please could we ask that parents make sure that they pay for the meals their children have had this year. To view your account and make payments please log onto www.eduspot.co.uk<\/a>.\u00a0 Paper bills are included in some bags today for parents who have expressed a wish to continue paying this way.\u00a0 If other families would like to pay by cheque or cash please pop into the school office and we let you know how much you owe.<\/p>\n

The cost of junior school meals will be increasing to \u00a32.30<\/em><\/strong> per day and \u00a311.50<\/em><\/strong> per week from September.\u00a0 This still represents very good value for money and is the first increase for several years.<\/p>\n
