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.
Please see below Week at a glance 11-15 May 2026.

We appreciate that WhatsApp groups can be a helpful way of sharing information and keeping in touch. However, we kindly ask that these platforms are used respectfully. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school directly rather than raising them in WhatsApp groups. This helps us ensure that you receive accurate information and allows us to address any issues appropriately. 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.
