N E W S The Foreign Secretary was visiting Hastings last week and the Royal Air Force helicopter landed on our field. Some children visited the helicopter and asked the pilot questions about his job, training and how the helicopter works. Children then watched the visitor return and with waves to the children, the helicopter took off and Boris Johnson headed back to London.

We are pleased to announce that our local board parent representatives have now been elected. Well done to Michelle Crouch and Charlotte Mead, we look forward to working with you.

To celebrate Easter there will be a couple of activities that have been organised by Friends of West St Leonards. There will be an Easter bonnet competition for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. This will cost £1.00 and the winners will be announced in assembly on Wednesday 28th March. Please ensure all entries and money are handed into the class teacher clearly named by Monday 26th March.

Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 will be holding an Easter bake sale on Tuesday 27th March. Please hand in all cake donations to the office on the day and bear in mind that we will need enough cakes for the whole school. Cakes will cost 50p each.

Please be reminded that all school meals must be booked on ParentPay by midnight the night before and paid for within two hours. If you have not booked/paid for a school meal you must provide a packed lunch for your child. If your child is entitled to a free school meal, you must still book or you will be asked to bring in a packed lunch..
