Health and Safety governors enjoyed talking to children from Reception – Year 5 about safeguarding through their Lifelong Learning curriculum. Governors were pleased with how confident the children could articulate their knowledge and understanding.

Governors viewed the independent local authority safeguarding audit and discussed findings. Governors celebrated that the report highlighted that ‘leadership of safeguarding is a key strength’.

Eatwell Family Cooking Recipes

Eatwell visited this week to deliver a family cooking session to 6 of our families. We would have loved for more to be involved however we were limited to only 6 children and their special adult for the session. They had a wonderful time working together to cook a delicious, healthy meal of quesadillas, salsa and fruit salad. Please find attached recipes to use at home if you’d like to try making one of the meals as a family. We’d love to receive photos, via our school email address, if you do have a go for yourselves at home! Happy cooking!

Key Stage Two children have two sessions coming up soon where they will learn more about a balanced diet and the importance of not eating too much sugar, which will be delivered by the Eatwell team.
