Fire Work Safety - Helping Families to Make Safer Choices
The cancellation of organised firework displays for bonfire night and Diwali in 2020 may mean that more parents do their own display at home. It is predicted that 500 children and their families will join the growing number of people who will remember bonfire night for the wrong reasons.

FREE SCHOOL MEALS OVER THE HALF TERM BREAK.
MESSAGE FROM BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL
You may have seen earlier today that the Leader of the Council announced that Birmingham City Council will fund free school meals for eligible pupils over the half term period.
This has been a fast moving situation with a local response being provided to a national issue and we apologise that we were not able to inform you earlier.
The council will be making arrangements for this during the next week and there will no ask of schools during the holidays. We are working to ensure vouchers or equivalent can be provided retrospectively to schools after the half-term break to be distributed to families.
Parents may wish to contact the locality fund for support during the half term break.
Wishing you all a safe and restful half term break.
Well done to the following children for being selected to be the House Captains at our school. We wish you all the very best in your new roles.
