Headlines
- For Years R, 1 and 2 – please would you have a school meal this Thursday, 3rd October? It’s free, and as it’s census day, it determines how much funding we get next year. More meals served = more funding. We’ll be having fish fingers with chips, vegan fajita wrap with chips and pasta with tomato sauce.
- Our children made the Basingstoke Gazette, BBC news and may be on HampshireTV on Monday evening. All regarding stopping budget cuts to SCPOs.
- Well done to our children who put themselves forward for our school elections, as well as those who were duly elected!
Have a great weekend, Charles

Katie’s Dash in the Dark!
Well done to Katie and her family who ran 5k for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
Katie ran it in about 37 minutes and raised £90! Whilst she was running, she kept encouraging all those around her to keep going, telling them all they could make it. Many of the runners around her were really grateful for her words of encouragement.
Well done Katie, you showed that No Way Through Isn’t True!
Allergy Update
As a result of a recent Government report, we can confirm that our caterers, Pabulum, will not be including mustard in any recipes on the school standard menu or allergy menus. This will protect all children and staff with nut allergies.

⚠ Can you help?⚠
Thank you very much for your glass jar donations. We now have enough.
Instead, FOSM have an updated request. Please can you send in a jam jar filled with sweets for the Sweet Tombola at the Christmas Fayre? Any donations would be greatly received. Thank you!
