Coming Together in Yellow – Thursday 10th October 2024
Every year, thousands of schools, companies and communities come together to make World Mental Health Day that little bit brighter by wearing something yellow and donating to Young Minds.  Right now, the world is a really tough place for children and young people to grow up in. Young Minds want young people to know that they don’t have to go through this alone. Things can get better. 
This World Mental Health Day, the children are invited to wear something yellow with thousands of others across the UK and raise money to show young people that they’re not alone with their mental health.  There is no expectation that children come to school dressed in yellow from head to toe!  Even something as simple as a yellow hair bobble/ribbon or a pair of yellow socks along with their uniform would be a great way to show support.
Because we stand brighter, together. 
If you feel able to donate to this very worthy cause, you can do so here:

Reminders…
 
Charging Policy 
As part of our reviews as a governing body, we have reflected on how charges are made to parents and wanted to provide some clarity around how and when charges are applied to parent pay accounts and the expectations of when payments for these should be made.
We hope this is useful for parents:
 
School Lunches
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a daily basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Wrap Around Care
These are applied to parent pay accounts on a daily basis so parents can pay these weekly or monthly.
Accounts should be settled in full on the last day of the month in which they were taken.
 
Enrichment Clubs
Mondays - Guitar/Rock Club
Tuesdays - Netball & Art club
Wednesdays - Kidslingo at lunch time & Gardening club on specific dates
Thursdays - Football
