Dear Parents / Carers,
It is the end of the school year and we have the sad task of saying goodbye to our leavers. We wish them all the very best in their new schools and look forward to hearing how they get on in future years. We know that they will all be amazing!
Thank you for the very generous donation of the legacy bench from Year 6.
Thank you to our wonderful PTA and everyone who helped with fundraising events in school this year. They raised a fabulous £17,824 this year!
Thank you so much for all the gifts you have given to members of staff over the last few days, they are all very much appreciated

School meal ordering - meals for the Autumn term will be available to order in August on ParentPay. We hope to have meals uploaded and available to order during the week of 11th August but we will notify you when the meals booking goes live. Menus are available here. Please note that we are switching to ordering meals 11 days in advance so that we can give St Joseph's more accurate orders. As currently if you need to cancel a meal on the day, you can still do this, if you can let us know by 9am.
ParentPay - we will still be answering emails over the summer if anyone has any questions about using ParentPay. The setups for the new Year 3 children is slightly different from that of children currently at the Junior School. Once our new joiners are admitted they will all work in the same way though.
ParentPay App - instructions are given here for adding ParentPay to your phone.
ParentMail balances for everyone will be refunded over the next few weeks.
Classlist - new classes will be set up over the summer
School clubs - details of all clubs taking place in the autumn term will be sent out in September
Uniform orders via PMG - PMG Schoolwear will be operating an appointment system over the summer for visits to their stores. They strongly suggest early booking as spaces are limited and the stores can be very busy, especially in the last few weeks of the Summer. Please note that their Cut Off Date for ordering is August 12th, after which uniform items may not be available before children go back to school in September.

Music Lessons - details of music lessons for next year are now available on the website here
Lost Property - any remaining Lost Property items will be disposed of over the holiday - either added to spares, given to PTA for resale or donated to charity wherever possible
