- Harlow library are holding afterschool welcomes on Wednesday’s between 3.30-5.15pm. If you feel that your child or you could benefit from learning skills to help with homework and how to support study at home, please do go along.
- We will be launching new juice machines in school which will replace the current cans and cartons available. The juice machines will dispense 450ml which is more than the 200ml cartons. Pupils will receive a token as part of their meal deal or can purchase them separately for 80p. They can also purchase more than one at a time avoiding queuing on multiple days. Pupils will need to have a refillable bottle that is 500ml or larger as cups will not be provided as we look to reduce waste and plastic. The launch date is currently 31st January 2023.
