New Lunch Ordering System
From Tuesday 5th May a new meal ordering system will be introduced in school. The new service will enable your child to order what main course they would like with their teacher at morning registration. They will then be given a wristband to wear throughout the morning which will denote their choice of meal. The wristband will then be handed to kitchen staff when they collect their meal. This will hopefully eliminate children missing out on getting the meal of their choice especially on last sittings and speed up queuing and serving times.

Pork Pie Champions!
Congratulations to Mr Taylor and Mr Coleman on their pork pie victory at The Malt Shovel pub in Hartshill. They won first prize in the competition which was to make or provide the best pork pie you can find and present it originally. They produced a fine display of pork pies with accompaniments from around the world. Mr Watts and Miss Brandist also assisted with the beautiful artwork on the display.

We did IT!
Following an extensive external assessment our school has been awarded the prestigious ICT Mark by Becta, the British Education Communications and Technology Agency, the government funded body responsible for promoting the use of ICT in Britain’s schools and colleges.

The award recognises the school’s success in developing the strategic use of ICT in both administration and across the curriculum. Parents will have proof that their children are attending a school at the forefront of modern technology.
We are the Champions!
Give a great big cheer for the MDJS Boys' 7-a-side Football Team A who won the Nuneaton Primary Schools Sports Association Trophy without conceding a single goal!

The top goal scorers in the tournament were Elliot Parrott scoring 4 goals, Bradley Ward scoring 2 and Thomas Mold scored 1 goal. Well done all of you!

Healthy School Award
The school has recently been awarded the ‘Healthy School Award’, a very significant achievement. This is for the contribution the school has made in promoting healthy lifestyles for pupils.

As you know we have had a recent focus on healthy eating and many thanks to you all for encouraging children to make healthy choices, particularly at break times.
