This has been a strange week, as it has been rather dominated by Year 6 Statutory Assessments. I was so proud of the way the Year 6 children worked and the resilience they showed. Although they were naturally anxious to do their best, we did not see the tears that other schools, sadly, reported. This was perhaps partly down to the success of the very full, delicious breakfast and the daily supply of squash and biscuits. (It is the one week where we are not so concerned about healthy eating!). I would like to thank the rest of the Juniors who were so supportive, working extremely quietly and reducing movement about the building to a minimum. The tests have now been collected and the Year 6 children have had a fun time at Beverley Park.

This week, we also had a visit to audit our school meals to ensure that our catering contract is being fulfilled in its entirety. Whilst there are always pointers to consider, it was very reassuring to hear that the portion sizes were appropriate (often a topic of discussion with children!) and the meals well cooked.

Lunch Next Wednesday & Thursday

To accommodate class photos next week, the lunch menu on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th May will be swapped over. Wednesday will be Cottage Pie/Tomato Pasta Bake and Thursday will be Roast Pork/Sweet Potato Pinwheel.

Pigs Over Half Term

Calling any volunteers to look after our pigs over the half term holiday. Please contact the office to request access to the rota if you are interested.

Saturday Football Club at Corpus Christi

Should you be interested, we have attached a flyer with further details about a Saturday morning football club for 4-11 year olds at Corpus Christi School. It is a great opportunity for children to get into football or to play, enjoy and develop in a very relaxed and fun environment.

I wish you all a lovely weekend.
