Congratulations to all our chosen Book Worms, your reading at home and school was excellent this week.

Remember to keep up those good reading habits.

Did you know?

Children currently receive free school milk until their fifth birthday through the Government’s school milk scheme. After this point, the entitlement ends. This means that within the same Reception class some children continue receiving milk while others do not, depending on when their birthday falls.

At Hodnet school, we accommodate this to ensure that no child goes without, including providing additional milk for children when required. However, we’re supporting the Fair Milk for a Fair Start campaign, which calls for a simple change so all children can receive free school milk until the end of their Reception year.
