Our website has a new page, all about the services offered to parents and families by the school nursing service.
Click HERE or on the green balloon for more information.
This link takes you to lots of resources to help keep your children safe over the Christmas period.

Climate emergency - saving the earth for our children
You may remember that earlier in the year we had solar panels fitted to the roof - to help the school with bills, but mainly to reduce our carbon emissions.
For the same reason, we had LED lights fitted throughout the school.
The brilliant news following all of this work is that our carbon emissions have reduced HUGELY since then!
We're working on our Climate Emergency Action Plan right now, to work out what else we can do to make a difference. We'll share it with you next term.

Hi everyone -
We wanted to give you all as much notice as possible that AFTER the summer break, in the new autumn term, we'll be going back to our old start and end times for the school day.
After the summer holiday:
In the morning, the school gates will open at 8.45am, with the register closing at 9am.
At home time, we'll open the gates at 3pm for you to collect your children.
We'll be keeping the IN (red gate)/OUT (green gates) system on the KS1 playground.
Remember that these changes will happen AFTER the summer break - until then, we'll carry on just as we are.
Hope this makes sense - please talk to us about any questions you may have.

The DFE have permanently extended free school meal eligibility to children in all households with no recourse to public funds (NRPF), subject to maximum income thresholds.
What this means is that you'll be entitled to apply for pupil premium - so your child is then entitled to school milk after they turn 5, for instance. It also means that they'll be able to have free school meals when they move on to junior school. All of our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children get free school meals anyway at King Richards, but that changes when they move on. It's well worth doing, there isn't any catch and it might really help you!
If you have no recourse to public funds, please contact the school office.
Kind Regards
School Office
In our assembly this morning, our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children looked through the School Council's anti-bullying policy, talked about parts of it and made some suggestions... and here is the final result!
