Dear Parents / Carers
Despite slightly mixed weather we hope that Year 6 had a good week at PGL, We have certainly enjoyed reading the daily blog. Huge thanks to the staff for supporting this trip
We would like to thank the PTA for putting on a fab cafe last week for the Family Event and for organizing the gifts for Father's Day. These events take a lot of organising and we very much appreciate the support that our PTA provides.
Request re nuts and sesame seeds - we have a child who will be visiting the school as part of our transition week next week who has a severe nut and sesame seed allergy. Please can you be extra vigilant and check that you are not sending in any foods that may contain nuts or sesame next week - this includes seeded bread or crackers and hummus. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Menu change - We have been advised by St Joseph's kitchen that on the last two days of this Summer term (22nd and 23rd July 2024) our menu will be a 'Summer end of term' lunch service as described below: Monday 22nd July will be a 'Picnic Sandwich Lunch' Tuesday 23rd July will be an 'Express Lunch'. Existing orders on ParentMail for the above dates have been deleted from the system. Please can we ask you to go into ParentMail and reorder your child's lunch choices for Monday 22nd July & Tuesday 23rd July.
Ash parents invited to assembly - apologies but due to the PSHE day there will be no Friday assembly next week. We will reschedule a time for Ash parents to come in and let you know once this has been confirmed.
