Lunch Club
During Lunch club the children gain a totally different experience to that in a normal session. It is a
relaxed and less structured hour during which the children gain valuable social skills to help them in
the transition up to school. The atmosphere created is very calm and encourages the children to talk
about the foods they are eating, what they taste like and why they like different things, this then
often leads to children sharing and trying foods they would normally refuse for us at home! The
social interaction and conversational skills are developed without children even realising. Also after
lunch the children get a play session during which they get to play with different toys to those
available in the normal session.
And let’s not forget, it also gives us an extra hour to get the jobs done at home, or even sit down
and relax with a hot cuppa!
If you would like more information or would like you child to try a Lunch club session please speak
to Dianne (Mrs Fleming).
Morning Session is £7.25 with lunch club included would be £10.55

Message from John Birch -Headteacher of Misson Primary School
School Places for Four Year Olds
Misson Primary school has always worked closely with Misson Pre School to provide high quality
education for our children. I have realised recently that some Pre School parents are unaware of
the opportunities Misson Primary School can provide for their children.
Children may attend any primary school their parents’ wish as long as that school has places
available. Although Misson is in Nottinghamshire the vast majority of our pupils live in Bawtry.
Our admissions arrangements differ from other schools as they have been worked out in
conjunction with Misson Pre School. We admit children in to school at the start of the term after
they have turned four, when they do start school they are able (if parents wish) to attend for full
days. The table below shows when your child will be able to start school with us.

Children who come to us from Misson Pre School are offered several transition visits to the school
to help them meet their new teacher and classmates, this helps them settle quickly and happily
into school life.
Misson Primary School is a small family friendly village school where all the staff and children know
each other well. We have high standards of academic achievement and behaviour with specialist
teaching for French, ICT, Swimming and Music from Year 1 upwards. We also offer childcare from
8am before school and up to 5.45pm after school. We are always happy for prospective parents to
visit and see the school in action. You can contact us on 01302 510580, by email
