Our School Meals Team

    

Collette, our school cook and Lauren, her assistant, prepare our delicious, nutritional lunches.

 

      

Mrs Klimaytys, Mrs Mayer, Mrs Cox, Mrs Judd,  Miss Day, Miss Johnson, Mrs Jones, Miss Evans, Miss Rance, Mrs Iradukunda and Miss Lee look after us at lunchtime.

 Our team of Mid-day Supervisors are constantly striving to find  ways to make lunchtimes a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for children. They aim to promote  positive play, introduce new games effectively and develop children’s play skills whilst they have fun. The MDMSA's and  the Year 6 sports leaders work together to make playtimes fun and enjoyable for ALL of the children.

 

  

 

We have playground rules. These posters show our behaviour expectations at playtime and lunchtime.

Each KS2 class has a designated football day.

We have a clear set of guidelines which outline the expectations for fair play, sportsmanship, and safety during football games on the playground.

It is essential that all children familiarise themselves and agree to these guidelines to ensure a positive experience for everyone.

The children in each class sign an agreement. Click on the football above or HERE to see it.
