Homework

Update on Century homework. We are still waiting for pupil logins to be renewed for some of our children so have deliberately delayed setting homework. We are hopeful that this should be resolved over the weekend in which case homework should be ready to be set on Wednesday. Apologies for any confusion around this.

Please continue to read 5 times a week and practise on TTRS too.

Cooking & Gardening

We are proud to offer all pupils the opportunity to take part in cooking sessions during the school day. These sessions take place in the School House kitchen and are led by the class teacher.

Fresh ingredients from our school garden are used wherever possible, helping children learn about food, nutrition, and sustainability.

To support this programme, we ask for a voluntary annual contribution of £13.00, which covers the cost of additional ingredients for the full school year (September 2025 – July 2026).

  • To contribute, please log into your MCAS account
  • The fee can be found in the Clubs section and added to your basket.

Your support helps us continue offering this valuable hands-on learning experience. Thank you!

Healthy Snacks

To help keep energy levels up and minds focused, we encourage pupils to bring a healthy snack for break time.

Great options include:

  • Fresh fruit or vegetables
  • Plain rice cakes or crackers
  • A small pot of dried fruit
  • Cheese cubes or yoghurt (in a cool pack)

Please do not send sweets, chocolate, crisps, or fizzy drinks. Let’s work together to support healthy habits and happy learning!
