Free School Meal Provision
During this period of National Lockdown, the government guidance is that school should provide food parcels for all pupils who are eligible for benefits related free school meals who are not attending school. These parcels will be available to collect from school on a weekly basis, if you are unable to collect the parcel you can ask a friend, volunteer or other family member to collect.
Food parcels will be arranged for all eligible children not in school and we will text out when they are ready for collection - this week it will be parcel for 3 days and wil be able to collect from Thursday at 2pm from the office.
If you you do not wish to collect a weekly food parcel please let the office know so we are not ordering food that may go to waste.
If you have any questions then please contact the school office.
