FSM Vouchers

18th March 2022Helen Lythe


Dear Parents,

We have received notification from Doncaster Council that there are currently no plans to fund the provision of Free School Meals vouchers during school holidays going forwards.

We wanted to give our families as much notice as possible as this means that you will not receive any vouchers for the Easter break.

If the situation changes and funding becomes available we will send out further updates.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school to discuss any additional support you feel you may need. We will do our best to try and support in other ways wherever possible.

Thank you Carcroft Crew

Working hard to get smart in crew FE.

16th March 2022Toni Ferguson

The children impressed their teachers this morning, as they came into school and within minutes were on task completing their morning learning.

They have worked hard on their handwriting and can now write their first names independently with most children also writing their surname without support.

Well done Crew FE keep up the wonderful attitude towards your daily tasks.

Covid Reminder

15th March 2022Helen Lythe

The government have removed the legal requirement to self-isolate following a positive test.

However, adults and children who test positive will continue to be advised to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for at least five full days, and then continue to follow the guidance until they have received two  negative test results on consecutive days. We will continue to follow this guidance and proactively encourage staff and pupils to remain at home and follow the self-isolation guidance. 

Please can you ensure you inform you school if your child has tested positive and follow the guidance above.

Thanks CS Crew

Food tasting event

14th March 2022Helen Lythe

On Thursday 24th March we will be opening the school kitchen for parents and children to come and try some new and current menu items. We’re hoping it will encourage our children to try some new things and open up an opportunity for them to pick something new from the menu.

Please can you collect your child(ren) from their class at 3pm and make your way to back playground entering the school through the white double doors.

Hope you can join us.

Problem Solving in Crew FE

10th March 2022Megan Evans

This week in Crew FE we have been continuing our focus on the Gingerbread Man and putting our problem solving skills to the test! We have been thinking of the different ways the Gingerbread Man could have crossed the river safely, and decided that a bridge or a boat would have been the best solution. 

The children have been using different resources in the provision areas to build bridges, experimenting which materials would work best and how they could make their structures stronger. We have looked closely at floating and sinking and will continue to test which which materials would work well for a boat next week.

This afternoon the children were tasked with another challenge. How could they travel across the hall when only being allowed to stand on the mats so they didn’t land in the ‘water’? As usual the children applied themselves brilliantly, quickly realising that they would need to work as a team to be successful. The challenge gave us lots of giggles and showed the true meaning of Crew.
