Saxton Newsletter 21.03.25

Be active and healthy!

Our school attendance last week was 97.56% This continues to be above our target of 97%. Thank you for supporting us.

Our collective worship value next week is Love. Please take time to talk to your child about this.

Don’t forget that our website has useful safeguarding information for parents, including tips for online safety. You can see more at https://saxton.n-yorks.sch.uk/e-safety/

If you’ve not already done so, please could you take 10 minutes to complete the survey about the planned Community Centre Playground refurbishment? It would be great to have your views to help shape the plans. Thank you!

Next week, we are participating in the Big Walk and Wheel. Eco Warriors will be counting all the journeys made into school (or at least part of the way) by pupils on foot, bike or scooter. Please support us with this initiative throughout the last two weeks of term.

Don’t forget to fill in the Google Form if your child is going to have a free breakfast from 31st March. We will be ordering food at the start of next week, and so early responses would be really appreciated.

All the menus are available on meal selector via ParentPay

Children can decide daily whether they are having a school dinner or packed lunch.

Please ensure you use our new meal selector to order lunches for your child for up to 3 weeks in advance, see the link below.

Each day there are 4 choices, either the hot dinner, hot vegetarian option, jacket potato with a choice of toppings or a sandwich. The sandwich and jacket potato always come with a selection of vegetables/salad on the side and have the full pudding choice for that day.

Packed Lunches - if you are sending grapes in your child's packed lunch, can you please ensure that these are cut in half.

Help raise money for FOSS and label your children's school items. The soft plastic labels can be stuck on machine wash-care labels of clothes, but can also be used on shoes, dishwasher items and general school items.

Please order via the website www.stikins.co.uk and quote Saxton school number 17524

Please be considerate when parking near the school crossing. If parked too close it can be very difficult to see if it is safe to cross, particularly at pick up time-thank you.
