The Return of the Famous FoF Bake Sales!

Bake sales are back and they are now on Mondays!

Every term, each phase group (Early Years, Year 1/2, Year 3/4 and Year 5/6) hosts a bake sale and the money raised goes goes directly back to their classrooms. By supporting our bake sales, you are directly benefiting your child at school. Sales can amount to £1,000 a year across the whole school! That amounts to classroom extras and rewards.

We welcome families to enjoy time baking together over the weekend before bringing donated items in for their group’s sale on the Monday. Store-bought items and fruit welcome as well.

Friends of Fishergate would like to share upcoming dates. Bake Sales: Monday 22nd September - Year 5/6; Monday 6th October - Year 3/4; Monday 10th November - Year 1/2; Monday 1st December - Early Years. Whether you buy or bake your donated bakes, please remember Fishergate is a nut-free school. Thanks you!

Smartphone Policy

Fishergate is a smartphone free school.

Smartphones and smart watches are not allowed onto school premises; this includes the storage of a smartphone in school bags. Smartphones are not required for any lessons or for use with any homework or Learning Apps throughout your child’s time at our school.

We appreciate your support for our smartphone free school environment and we also encourage all parents in our community to join us in pledging not to provide a smartphone for their child during their time at Fishergate, especially as they are not required for any school purposes in Key Stage 1 or 2.

We understand that this pledge won’t be suitable for every family so we kindly request you let us know if you decide to opt out, at any point, of our school pledge to be smartphone free. Should you decide to get your child a smartphone, or your child already has one, please complete our anonymous opt out survey, to help us understand any long-term impact of going smartphone free on our community: https://forms.gle/7VkxxfMafGRt7SAo6

We understand some of you may consider a phone as an option for an older child in year 6, but you do not need to complete the survey if you purchase a basic communication device, such as a Nokia 105.

Please see below the joint statement on smartphones by York headteachers.
