Assemblies

A reminder that Mrs Bartoli and Mr Minikin will be delivering assemblies each week which can be accessed via your child’s TEAMS account.

If your child has impressed you at home, please contact you child’s class teacher as they may win ‘You’ve Been Spotted!’ in Friday’s Celebration Assembly. You can ‘spot’ them for anything such as working hard, being helpful, supporting a sibling etc. We look forward to hearing from you!

Food vouchers for children entitled to Free School Meals

19th January 2021 By chrisminikun

The parents/carers of children entitled to Free School Meals (means tested not universal) should have received an email today, Tuesday 19th January, with information on claiming vouchers to be spent in a number of food outlets.

The guidance suggested to order the vouchers in bulk so the eCodes you receive are for 4 weeks (each child receives £15 per week). This is for the 4 weeks leading up to February half term.

If your child is currently in school you will not receive the vouchers as their meal is provided by school.
