Dear parents and carers,
It has been so lovely to see the sun the past few days - a lovely end to a term that has flown by!

Young Carers/Service Children
If your child is a young carer or a service child, please let us know as there are avenues of support that we can access to benefit them.
A young carer is defined as someone under 18 years old who provides regular, significant care or support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition, or substance misuse problem, and cannot cope without that support. This care can include practical tasks (like cooking, cleaning, or shopping), emotional support, and personal care (like helping with dressing or bathing.) A service child is one whose parent or carer serves in the Regular armed forces or as a reservist, or has previously done so.
Drills
I am sure you are all well aware the school schedules regular fire drills and the children are very used to the procedure to follow in these cases. However, sadly, schools are now advised to complete lockdown drills as well, so that children are aware of what to do in case of an event that may trigger a partial or complete school lockdown. We practised a lockdown drill recently and the children were excellent.
Snacks
It is important children stay hydrated, particularly in the summer months, so we encourage them to bring in bottles of water or sugar-free squash. We are currently fortunate enough to be receiving free fruit and vegetables from Tesco so there is no need to send in snacks for your child.
