From September all schools are legally required to follow Benedict’s Law, more information can be found –

Benedict's Law - Benedict Blythe Foundation

 

Considering the new allergy safety requirements introduced under Benedict's Law and after assessing the risks within our school community, we have decided not to allow products containing nuts as a listed ingredient in school. Examples include – Nutella and other chocolate spread products, peanut butter, chocolate bars, nut oils and granola bars. Benedict’s Law does not require us to do this. However, we have reviewed the risks and taken into consideration the children with known allergies, the fact that some children will have unknown allergies, the age of the children and the needs of the children across the Federation. We feel that by not having nut products in school, we will significantly reduce the risk and keep everyone safe. The situation will constantly be under review, and if new cases come to light, we may need to add other food items/ingredients to the list. You may be aware that several schools are already ‘nut free’ schools.

 

Products that state ‘may contain nuts/traces of nuts’ or ‘were produced in a factory that uses nuts’ are still allowed in school.

As a school we will continue to teach all children how to keep themselves safe and manage their own allergies, as this is something that they need to learn to do.

 

In due course, we will be adding further information to the website regarding Benedict’s Law and our Allergy Policy. If you have any concerns or questions in the meantime, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Dear Parent/Carer,

 

I am writing to let you know about a delay to this year's Key Stage 2 (KS2) test results, which affects all schools nationally. Schools were due to receive results on 7 July 2026.

 

However, Pearson Education Limited, the provider responsible for administering, marking, and returning Key Stage 2 results to schools has informed the Department for Education of a delay affecting the national system used to make results available to schools. Results will now be available on 16 July 2026. We know this is frustrating, and we share that feeling. However, it won't get in the way of celebrating everything your child has achieved during their time at South View. Importantly, the delay is not related to the quality of the tests or the accuracy of pupils' results.

 

Test papers have been marked in line with usual processes. This will not impact your child’s transition to secondary school and no action is required from parents or pupils. We will share results with you as quickly as possible after we receive them on 16 July.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

 

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Sheila Pape Executive Headteacher

Dear Parents

 

The rehearsals for the Year 6 production of ‘Pirates of the Curry Bean’ are well underway and all the children are working hard at learning their songs and lines. There will be a performance of the production on Tuesday 14th July at 6pm and all children are expected to attend as every child has an important part in the production.

 

There will be no charge for coming to see the performance, but due to fire regulations we will need to distribute tickets. Please use the link below to confirm your child’s attendance and to order tickets for the evening performance. It is up to two tickets per family but please do indicate if you would like any extras and we can allocate any left over seats accordingly.
