Newsletter and Emails

Unfortunately, our IT advisors have been unable to resolve the issues some people are experiencing with our emails being diverted to spam. We are therefore trying out a new system for newsletters and emails – these will now also come via ParentPay. You will need to make sure your account is set up to receive ParentPay emails to receive these.

Our school newsletter is always published at 5pm on Friday and can be found on our school website. If you are not receiving the emails, please just check the website on Friday evenings. Newsletters can be found under Parents Area, Newsletters. Newsletter – Longnor CE Primary School

We also publish the link on Seesaw and Tapestry so you may wish to check your notifications are enabled on these sites.

Any other important information will be sent via these systems too as well as on paper – please therefore check your child’s bookbag regularly as we often find unread correspondence in children’s bookbags.

Thank you for your support.

Christmas Dinner

Huge thanks to Alexandra and Harriet for cooking an absolutely delicious Christmas Dinner today for 107 hungry mouths! The children enjoyed turkey and pigs in blankets or vegetarian sausage with roast potatoes, parsnips, sprouts, carrots, gravy, bread sauce and cranberry sauce plus an incredible chocolate roulade for pudding. We are very lucky to have such talented chefs working for us.
