We would like to wish all of our children good luck in their assessments. If your child is in Year 6 there is a free breakfast club from 8.15 am Monday to Thursday next week. Please ensure your child is in school and on time. Optional SATSs tests will take place in other year groups the following week. Year 2 Universal Free School Meals. We would like to remind parents of children in year 2 that their entitlement to a Universal Free School Meal will stop once they move up to Year 3 in September. If your child is eligible for a benefit related free school meal then please ensure that you register with Liverpool Direct before the start of the new term. If your child is not entitled to a free school meal, there is a cost for meals in years 3-6 as currently only children in KS1 receive funding. Twitter Over the next few weeks, we will be starting to make greater use of twitter to keep parents informed of news and events that take place in school. If you do not wish your child’s photograph to appear on twitter please let us know. In accordance with our e safety policy, photographs of children will not be used with names to ensure that children are not identifiable. Letters will be sent out next week to collect parent’s email addresses and twitter handles. Mock Elections Yesterday’s mock election was won by the Zig-Zag party. We were all extremely impressed by both the children’s manifestos and the attitudes of those who voted. Pictures of the event will be available on the school website next week.
