Any parents/carers eligible for Free School Meals due to their entitlement of benefits will be eligible to food vouchers for over the Christmas holidays.
We are in the process of arranging shopping vouchers for those eligible.
The vouchers will be different to those that were available during the Summer holidays and as a school we are only able to order vouchers for one supermarket.
If you are entitled to free school meals due to your entitlement of benefits please complete the survey on our school website to vote which Supermarket you would prefer the vouchers to be provided for. The survey will automatically close on Thursday 3rd December. Any votes after this will not be counted.

Anti-Bullying week has been a huge success in school. We all came into school wearing odd socks to celebrate how we are all different and special. Nursery read Simon Sock and Emler and designed a pair of odd socks. They talked simply about how we are all different and that’s good.
In Year 2 we summed up all our learning in a few quotes – “Don’t be a bystander”, “be kind to others” and “if someone is lonely go and play with them” were some of the messages we got from the children.
In Year 1, the children felt so strongly about our anti-bullying message, they made posters and they have popped up around the school. Adults and children have really enjoyed reading them, we love the messages including “Be a buddy not a bully!” Well done Year 1 what great work!
We wanted to let you know that all the donations have been counted from Children in Need day and £157.50 was raised! It’s fantastic and extremely thoughtful, that during these difficult times for us all, we can still think of others and their needs. This money will go towards some worthy causes. Thank you again!
