Week at a glance

Dear Parents,

Some parents have asked for clarification about what Junior children can bring in for their snack during morning break. In line with our Infant classes, and as shared at the start of the year, we kindly ask that children bring fresh fruit or vegetables only for their daily snack. Dried fruit is also acceptable (for example, raisins), but items such as fruit winders or similar processed snacks are not permitted. On Freedom Friday, children may bring an alternative snack if they wish, although we do ask that this does not include chocolate bars or sweets.

Occasionally, misunderstandings or incorrect information can be shared on group chats, which may lead to unnecessary worry or confusion. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
