• Academy Conversion

  Tue 11 Nov 2014 A Burton

  On1^st November 2014 Sawley Junior School officially converted to an academy and is now part of Willows Academy Trust in partnership with Sawley Infant & Nursery School, Dovedale Primary and Shardlow Primary. 

  The Board of Trustees have worked hard to coordinate the transfer from Derbyshire County Council to Willows Academy Trust and we are pleased to announce this official conversion date.  We are no longer a Derbyshire County Council School and as such we will receive our funding direct from the Education Funding Agency. The day to day running of the school will continue to remain the same for our pupils and as a Multi Academy Trust we are developing our strategic vision under the motto ‘Aspire Achieve Thrive’. The Board of Directors will be writing to all stakeholders in the near future to set out their ethos and vision for the trust.

• Dinner Money Changes

  Tue 11 Nov 2014

  Paying for school dinners is changing…..

   

  Information about dinner money

  (Please keep in case your child may have dinners in the future)

   

  Please note that from 3^rd November dinner money cheques should be made payable to Sawley Junior School NOT Derbyshire County Council.

   

  Children should give dinner money for the week to their class teacher on a Monday. All classes have a ‘dinner money bag’ which is then brought to the office.  Please avoid handing dinner money in at the office. The school office will provide you with dinner money bags if you need them – just let us know or pop in. Please send the correct money if possible – it is sometimes difficult to find change for everyone who does not send the correct money.

   

  Dinners should be taken on the same day(s) each week and, if your child does not have dinners every day, we ask that you pay for several days at a time.

   

  You are welcome to pay for more than one week at a time; in fact, it makes accounting much easier, especially if you pay for the whole half-term.

   

  If you would like to pay for the whole of the next half-term (Nov – Dec) it will be:

   

  Years 3-5 and year 6 non-residential children (7 weeks) - £68.25

   

  Year 6 residential children (6 weeks) - £58.50*

   

  *If you would like your child to have a dinner on Monday 3^rd November (departure day), please send £1.95 this week.

  Thank you.
