Harvest Festival 

A big thank you to everyone that donated items for the Harvest festival. It really does make a difference. 
This year after speaking with Hive Hope we have decided to keep the donations in school for our families. 
 We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that if you are experiencing financial difficulties, please do speak to a member of staff that you are comfortable with about getting a food voucher or using the school's food bank.
 This time of year can be difficulty for many families, so please do ask for support if you need it. 
We will continue to put fresh food items out at the end of the day when we have it. (located outside the bus, when weather permitting or inside the SEN room) Polite reminder to only take what you need and what you will use and be mindful that there are many families that also benefit from this support. If you could bring your own bag that would really help, as we have now run out so will not be able to bag up items for you.
