Following the success of their
previous sale our caterers,
Harrisons will be holding a
Tray Bake sale on Friday 22nd
May at 3pm, selling a variety
of cakes at 50p each. This
will be an opportunity for you
to not only buy some delicious
cakes but also to have a chat
with our chef if you have any
questions about our school
dinners.
The sale will be held at the
Bosworth Hall Lobby and the
Macmurdo Playground
shelter.
Harrisons catering company have devised a new school hot
dinner menu for after half term that is both nutritious and
attractive to the children. The new look menu is being emailed
today so please look out for your copy!
In addition, we are pleased that after half-term, from Tuesday
2nd June, we will be offering a school packed lunch option for
the remainder of the summer term. This option will cost the
same as a hot dinner (free for FS/KS1 and £2 for KS2 children).
As you can imagine taking the school dinner registers each
morning can prove a little more challenging for the children
with the extra option available - especially for the younger
ones. With this in mind we would ask you to help your child if
need be, and remind them to ask for a ‘school packed lunch’
when answering the morning register.
You can find a copy of the full menu (both hot and packed
lunch) on our website and also displayed in the school office for
your convenience.

Sixth Form Proposal for Fitzwimarc
Your Views are Important
The Fitzwimarc School Academy Trust has
unanimously agreed to submit a proposal to the
Department for Education to introduce a sixth
form to the Fitzwimarc School. It has been a longheld ambition of the school to provide sixth form
education and believe the young people of
Rayleigh, and the surrounding area deserve to
have a high quality provision locally, rather than
having to travel lengthy journeys. It is the school’s
intention to add a sixth form from September
2016, subject to approval and decision making
timescales. Regulations state that a public
consultation must be held to ensure they have
backing from the local community.
th
th
The consultation is running from 5 May – 7
July at 4pm and the school requires your
views. Please visit www.fitzwimarc.essex.sch.uk
(About Us/Sixth Form Proposal) for more
information and to submit your opinions on the
proposal. Alternatively you may send your
comments by post to Mrs M Howard, Clerk to the
Governing Body, The Fitzwimarc School, Hockley
Road, Rayleigh, SS6 8EB or email
governorsclerk.fitzwimarc@gmail.com.
The consultation returns are vital as they will
be used as part of the discussions with the
Department for Education to demonstrate that
there is a demand for a sixth form on the
Fitzwimarc site.
Next week we are on Week 3 of the new School Lunch Menu. For full details of the complete 3 week menu plan please
