We’ve signed up to the ‘It’s Good to Grow’ scheme from Morrisons. This is a schools programme to inspire children to get outdoors, grow, learn and enjoy fresh produce.

It’s Good to Grow is a token collection scheme that allows schools to collect for free gardening equipment to get kids outdoors and growing. Between 6th September and 24th October 2021 for every £10 spent in store or online at Morrisons, customers will automatically receive one Grow Token to donate to their chosen school.

If you shop at Morrisons, either online or in store, please hep us out by getting involved.

To find out how and for more details, visit the It's Good to Grow website: www.itsgoodtogrow.co.uk/faq

If your child is due to transfer from primary to secondary school in September 2022, you need to start think about secondary school applications. Local authorities co-ordinate secondary transfer admissions for all publicly funded (non-fee paying) schools. This means that parent/carers should apply to the local authority in which they live (the council to which they pay council tax).

If you live in Birmingham you should apply for your child’s secondary school place online at www.birmingham.gov.uk/schooladmissions between 1st September and 31st October 2021. It is important that you submit your application by 31st October 2021. Applications received after the national closing date of 31st October 2021 will be treated as late applications. Late applicants are less likely to be offered a place at one of their preferred schools, and these applications will be processed after 1st March 2022, in accordance with Birmingham’s coordinated admissions scheme.

We have been asked to share a message from our local Scout group, who are reopening after Easter and are looking for new children to join them.

Please see the message below:

“Would you be interested in your child joining Beavers or Cubs in Yardley? We are returning to our face to face programme after Easter and would like you to join us.

Beavers start at 5 and three quarters and Cubs at 8 - we do have a waiting list for those who are younger than this.

Contact Hayley on 07785 983000 if you would like some more details about joining, or you’d like to get your child’s name down for when they are old enough :) "
