The Harvest Assemblies on Tuesday were fantastic. Thank you to all who came to see the performances. The
children thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Thankyou to parents who have generously donated items for the food bank in Ilkley. Any further donations
can be left in the office or school hall until Tuesday 22nd. Thank you for your support.
Thankyou too for the donations given at the end of the KS2 Harvest Assembly, £82.51 was raised towards this year’s school charity, Prickly Pigs Hedgehog Rescue in Otley.
This week, we have welcomed Miss Turner and Miss Wright who are student teachers here on placement from Leeds Beckett University. Do say hello if you see them.
Well done to all of the children for taking part in our Mini Marathon Event this week! Collectively, we ran 26.2 miles!

On Tuesday, we emailed out information about the new school lunch menu which will be in place from Monday 4th November. To stream line the process of collecting the children’s choices, we have compiled an online survey. A further copy of the letter is attached. If you wish your child to have a school lunch on any day after half term, please complete the survey by 10am Monday 21st October. A link to the survey is on the letter and
is also below.
