work has been completed and we are now waiting for the installation of the
new computers. All the children are very excited and we will keep you

Crunchy Munchy School Food coop
Crunchy Munchy food co-op has started in school. Every Thursday the Eco
committee with the help of some parent volunteers will be taking orders
for the following bags: vegetable bag, fruit bag, salad bag and mixed bag
(a mixture of fruit and vegetables). Orders will only be taken with money.
Bags will be ready to be picked up the following Thursday. Bags cost £2.50
What is a food co-op?
A food coop is a simple system through which you can access fresh fruit
and vegetables on a weekly basis at affordable price of £2.50 per bag.
Local produce is used as much as possible. The supplier chooses the
selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables, to offer the best value for money
that week. The vegetable bag will generally have potatoes, carrots and 3-4
other items. Customers can order as little or as much as they like. All the
money goes to the supplier - no profit is made by the coop.
New Computer suite and outdoor provision
As part of the School Improvment plan for this academic year the PTA
are busy raising funds to help equipment a new computer suite and develop
the outdoor provision. Please see details on the PTA page and come
along to our monthly meeting at the Seahorse.
