Dear Families,

I have great news…. Class 1 have returned to their classroom….and all is well! Thank you for your patience.

While our Harvest services are not until the week after next, I wanted to share with you, how we intend to channel your generosity this year. We have decided to break with tradition somewhat and not take donations of food. Instead, we would like to support a local food bank with a gift of money. As they support those who need to use the banks, they will know which items are most sought after and then buy according to demand. This will mean a collection of cash, hence the prior warning as not everyone carries cash anymore. We also appreciate that the cost of living crisis is affecting everyone and please feel no pressure to give.

Both schools have now set up Parentpay for visits so that you can make contributions to costs of trips over the year. You should be able to see this on your Parentpay account; this is with the exception of Class 3 at Sand Hutton as the visits Miss Heffernan would like to book are proving elusive! She has booked the first visit which she will be sending information about soon. Full costs for Class 3 trips for the year will be provided once other visits are in the calendar.

I would like to thank Mrs Madge for planning to take Years 5 and 6 from Warthill to a sport event at Archbishop Holgate School next Friday. I hope that you have a lovely morning and I am looking forward to hearing all about it!

I hope that you have a fun filled weekend.

With every best wish,

Beverley Pawson

Headteacher
