How to help with your child’s mental health.

It’s okay NOT to be okay.
Active Schools VIRTUAL Opportunity
Canteen Online Ordering
A letter has gone home regarding school meals and ordering food from our canteen.
From now, canteen break and lunch should be ordered online through the links posted here:
Orders close at 0845 for the day. Paper copies will be available from the office for those without online access. However, this measure is to increase COVID safety so please dotry to order online as it cuts down on shared paper and unecessary contact between pupils and staff.
The link will change on Friday at 4pm to show options for the following week.

Covid-19 – Arrangements for wearing Masks
2020.08.26 ParentCarer Letter1
A letter has been sent to parents regarding Covid 19 arrangements in school, including the new regulations about wearing of masks which comes into effect on Monday 31st August.
Masks should be kept in a plastic bag/ similar when not being worn.
A clean mask should be brought each day.
Parents should get in touch with us at school if they think their child is exempt from wearing a mask so that we can inform the relevant staff.
This is another change that we will support young people with and we appreciate your support as always.
