In Computing, Year 4 have be focusing on using databases. They have collected data on the weather, inputted the data into a spreadsheet using Google Sheets and then explored the tools available to analyse the data. This week, they focused on turning the data into graphs and investigating how to format their information.

📢 Important Update for Parents & Carers: Free School Meals are Changing this September! 🍏✏️

The rules for benefits-based Free School Meals (FSM) are changing across the UK, which means more families right here in Worcester will be eligible for free school lunches starting September 2026.

Because the government's old "transitional protection" system is ending on August 31st, all eligibility is being re-checked, and families will be split into two new categories. Here is what you need to know about who qualifies and how to apply.

📋 The September 2026 Criteria: Who is Eligible?

Eligibility will now be split into two groups based on your Universal Credit or household income:

1. "Expanded" Free School Meals (NEW)

Who qualifies: Any household receiving Universal Credit, regardless of your annual income threshold.

What you get: Free school lunches every day during term time.

2. "Targeted" Free School Meals (Existing Rules)

Who qualifies: Households on Universal Credit with an annual net income of £7,400 or less (before benefits), or those on other qualifying benefits (like Income-related ESA, Child Tax Credit, or Guaranteed Pension Credit).

What you get: Free school lunches, PLUS extra school funding (Pupil Premium) and access to the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.

💡 Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 Parents: Even though your children automatically get infant free school meals, please still apply if you meet the criteria! It unlocks vital Pupil Premium funding for our school to support your child's learning.

💻 How to Apply in Worcestershire

The local authority is re-checking current claims, but if your circumstances have changed or you think you are newly eligible under the Expanded Universal Credit rules, apply as soon as possible.

This half-term, the children have thoroughly enjoyed an exciting range of Science activities! They are currently busy carrying out hands-on experiments to help them design and create their own bird feeders, which links brilliantly with our theme project.

Our Year 6 pupils also had an incredible opportunity to take part in a workshop with Dr Greenwood. During this session, they explored how moon craters are formed, tackled real-life speed, distance and time challenges, and even used microscopes to discover tiny meteorites hidden in ice. It was a fantastic experience that truly brought science to life and sparked lots of curiosity and enthusiasm!
