Your weekly round up of events in school and what's coming up  

Wood End Primary School Activity Passport - Years 3 to 6 


Please encourage your child to sign up for an activity passport. This is about 


We acknowledge their extra-curricular learning by allowing them to accumulate ‘hours’ in a professional passport. We tally up their hours and then invite them to a formal graduation.   Every child in KS2 has an opportunity to pay £5 for an Activity passport to encourage them to engage with additional learning. Any clubs they attend during school can be included as well as clubs or activities they take part in outside of school - scouts, football, gymnastics , dance, Kumon etc. At the end of the year if they reach a certain level e.g first level is 25 hours, they will graduate. 

Payment for the Activity Passport is made via Parentmail (Select Payments, Shop).  We are looking forward to many more children signing up. Mrs Brooks.

ISS :  School Lunches & School Meal Patterns


ISS Nutrition Team are happy to work with parents to create a bespoke meal pattern for those children who have a MEDICAL ALLERGY.  Supporting medical evidence must be provided in all cases. Unfortunately, ISS are unable to create bespoke menus or accommodate on religious grounds.

School Meal Patterns - Pupils can have either School Meal or Packed Lunch but NOT a combination of both.  Parents can change a school meal pattern at the start/end of term by emailing us at admin@woodendprimaryschool.com and we will be happy to change the meal pattern.  Thank you.
