New School Meals Service Planned roll out—Monday 4th February
The Governors have previously written to you to let you know that they would be appointing a new school meals provider in order to offer
increased choice and flexibility at a competitive price. We are excited to let you know that our new school meal provider is Dolce Schools
Catering.
The benefits that Dolce offer are as follows
An increased meal option choice
An increased flexibility of booking (for example one off meals)
An online booking system where Parents can choose their child’s meal
A direct payment system between parents and Dolce (bypassing the school office)
A reduction in current cost per meal to parents (from £2.82 per meal to £2.30 per meal)
A removal of the current need for the school budget to subsidise the cost of KS1 Meals (currently £2000 per term)
Your child will be bringing home an important letter of welcome from Dolce today.
It is very important that you read this so that you understand the major changes which are beginning to take place.
Even if your child does not currently take a school meal, we would recommend that you register with Dolce and set up a
‘Live Kitchen Account’ as they may choose to do so in the future and/or may occasionally forget their packed lunch.
Payments will be made by yourselves DIRECT TO DOLCE using your new Live Kitchen Account and can either be by Direct Debit or by
Credit/Debit card. From the point at which we move to Dolce (scheduled for Monday 4th February) we will NOT BE USING PARENTPAY
FOR SCHOOL MEALS PAYMENTS once we move to Dolce.
You can find out more about Dolce by visiting www.dolce.co.uk/catering/education
There is an opportunity for you to come and find out about the new meals service on Thursday 24th January at 2.45 when David
Fleming, Area Manager, will make a presentation and be on hand to answer your questions.

Learning to Love Reading We wrote to you at the beginning of the school year and shared with you our
plans to help children learn to Love Reading. We made a commitment that every
day in every class children will listen to a story or a novel. Obviously younger
children listen to lots of short stories which develop into longer novels as they
progress through school.
We have now begun another exciting term of learning. All children will be read to
at least daily as we believe that, to be read to and hearing how to read ,are an
important part of becoming a skilled reader. It would be hugely beneficial if chil-
dren had their own copies of the ‘class novels’ for this term.
YR YR will be reading lots of stories about Pirates - here are some ideas;
Pirates love underpants
Pirate Pete and his smelly feet
Captain Sparklebeard
Y1 Y1 will be reading lots of stories about bees - here are some ideas;
The Very Greedy Bee—Steve Smallman
Winnie the Pooh and the Wrong Bees—AA Milne
Bee and Me—Alison Jay
Y2 Roald Dahl favourites: Fantastic Mr Fox, Billy and the Minpins
and possibly The Hodgeheg - Dick King-Smith
Some other ideas for books are:
Beegu
Man on the Moon
Bog Baby
The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark
Y3 Y3The Orchard Book of Greek Myths
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo
Y4 The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.
Y5 Beetle Boy—MG Leonard
Y6 'The Girl of Ink and Stars' by Kiran Millwood Hargrave in the
first half term and 'Phoenix' by S F Said in the second half term.

learning this term by visiting

NEW YEAR REMINDERS School Uniform We pride ourselves on the appearance of our
school and this includes school uniform. There is plenty of choice
within our uniform code for children to express their individuali-
ty— please note that we do not encourage children to wear
brightly coloured trainers and shoes with flashing lights can be a
great distraction in lessons!
Attendance School starts promptly at 8.55. We ask that chil-
dren are not taken out of school for routine appointments (such as
dental/medical/optician). Proof of any appointment during the
school day is always required. If you fail to provide this, your
child’s absence may be recorded as unauthorised which could lead
to referral to the Area Prevention Service. If your child is absent,
you should notify school by phone before 9.30 am.
Lunch boxes We have trolleys to keep lunch boxes on for each
class. Packed lunches are stored during the morning in a cool place
and children are asked not to keep their lunch in the cloakroom
where there are heating pipes. We therefore ask that when your
child brings a lunchbox to school, it is small enough to fit on the
trolleys. The trolleys take standard size children’s lunchboxes but
are not built to store large bags.
PE bags and kit Every child has a named school PE bag which
should be brought to school every Monday and taken home for
washing every Friday. Please ensure PE kit is labelled with your
child’s name. Children from Y1-Y6 need black shorts, white T shirt
and pumps/trainers. You might like to send them with dark col-
oured jogging bottoms and a school purple sports hoodie when the
weather gets colder. Your child will be able to tell you whether
they are planning inside or outside PE this term. We do not have
the space to store large unwieldy bags and ask that children do not
bring them into school—school book bags can be purchased for
home learning/reading books. Jewellery including hooped earrings
are not permitted. Pierced earrings should be studs.
Replacement PE Bags (£5.50) & Water bottles (£2.00)
Book bags (£9.00)
Payment via uniform service on parent pay
Medicines in School If your child needs to take a pre-
scribed medicine during the school day, please see Mrs Wallace in
the school office to complete a form. Non prescribed medications
(such as cough sweets) are not allowed in school.
‘New to you’ uniform shop. ‘New to you’ uniform is available for a
small donation to school. If you would like to browse our current
stock please pop into the school office.
LOST PROPERTY We keep lost property items in the Y4
cloakroom. At the end of each term we have a good sort out and all
named items are returned to their owners—un named items are
washed and put into our ‘new to you’ store or donated to charity.

Family Fundraiser Group
In an ever increasingly challenging funding climate, we
want to ensure that our children get the best provision
possible at our lovely school and our mission is to raise
money to ensure this happens. We have some major pro-
jects in mind like totally redeveloping the playground—
replacing the trim trail and more! We’d like to develop
the Hive (the old Y2 classroom) to make it a place for
parents to meet, courses to run (and tea and coffee to
be shared!) We have some smaller projects in mind too
like providing a constant stream of lovely new books for
our school library
There are lots of ways that you can get involved, de-
pending of course on the time you have available—please
contact Jill Taylor to find out more.
You can do this in a number of ways
[email protected] or [email protected]
On Facebook -Family Fundraisers ( Sutton CP
School PTA)
Or in the playground most mornings and after
school
We are currently seeking two new members to join our
core Family Fundraising Committee. This would mean
attending 1 meeting every 3 months and being part of a
fun team that help to develop and deliver PTA duties in
school. Please email either one of us if you would like
more info.
There are roles for all parents; we are always looking for
helpers, those who can support events and activities-
please contact us should you wish to be involved.

Severe Weather
Snow Procedures 11 Jan 19
*** UPDATED DEC 2018 ***
Weather reports suggest that during the next few weeks we can expect some severe weather
conditions.
We make every attempt to keep school open during severe weather, however as a school we need to be
prepared. Our priority is the health and safety of both staff and pupils. If and when severe weather arrives, it
could cause disruption on the roads. The staff who have long journeys may be unable to get to school.
In the event of severe weather, a decision will be made by 7.45am whether the school will open. This
information will be then shared in the following ways:-
Online at: School website: www.wherelearnersgrow.co.uk
School Facebook Page
North Yorkshire County Council website: www.northyorks.gov.uk
Stray FM website: www.strayfm.com/schools/school-closures
Twitter: @SuttonCPSchool
Radio: BBC Radio Leeds 92.4FM or 103.7FM www.bbc.co.uk/radioleeds
You can play your part by:
DO
Print this information and keep in a safe place.
Make sure your child comes dressed appropriately for the weather outside everyday. (Coat, hat, gloves, wel-
lies)
If you can’t arrive on time, come in when it is safe to do so.
Remember that, unless the weather is really severe, the children are encouraged to get out into the fresh air
and have a ‘run around’. If it snows we will often go outside to play in the park!
DON’T
Phone school as this blocks our telephone line.
Phone radio stations for information; they will broadcast details regularly.
Assume we are open/closed just because other local schools are. Whilst we do liaise with other schools, ulti-
mately the decision is based on the safety of our school family.
Send children to school until you have checked. We will understand if on such days children arrive late.
