🍽️ Reminder for Parents & Carers 🍽️ Please remember to order your child’s school meals in advance at www.schoolhub.co.uk. Doing this helps us to: ✅ Cater for the right number of meals ✅ Reduce food waste ✅ Save time so children spend more time learning, not waiting ✅ Ensure children get meals they enjoy — you know their preferences best! Thank you for your support in helping our kitchen and school run smoothly. 💚

🎈 Wear Red Day 2025 – Friday, 17th October! ❤️ This Friday, we’re joining thousands of schools across the country to Show Racism the Red Card! ✋ We’re inviting all our pupils (and staff!) to add a splash of red to their school uniform — a red t-shirt, socks, hairband, or even a badge — to stand together against racism and promote kindness, respect, and equality. Let’s turn PWPS red! 💪❤️

🧒👕 Reminder from Pennine Way Primary School 👖🎒 Accidents can happen — even on the best of days! 😊 Please make sure your child has a spare set of pants/knickers, socks, and clothes in their school bag. This helps us keep your child comfortable and happy throughout the day. If your child has borrowed any spare clothes from school, please wash and return them as soon as possible — we really appreciate your help in keeping our supplies topped up! 💙 Thank you for your support and cooperation, — PWPS Early Years Team 📅 It’s always a good idea to check and replace spares regularly!
