  Free School Meal Support - October half-term 2021

   

  For the October half-term, Gloucestershire County Council is providing vouchers to parents who have signed up to our Holiday Free School Meals scheme. These vouchers are provided by Gloucestershire County Council as part of its commitment to ‘no child goes hungry’. The vouchers are funded through COVID-19 grant funding we have received and is separate to that of the mainstream free school meals.

   

  Parents who have signed up to the scheme will receive a voucher for £15 for each child who is eligible for FSM which will cover the half-term week.

   

  Parents who have signed up previously do not need to re-register, and we are encouraging any parents not already signed up to do so as soon as they can.

   

  Sign up for Holiday Free School Meal Vouchers for October half term is open from Monday 13 September until midday on Friday 24 September. Vouchers will be sent out between Monday 27 of September and 30 of September. Vouchers are being sent out this early due to Covid grant stipulations.

   

  For more information and to sign up if you haven't already please visit the holiday school meal vouchers page on our website.

• Monday 12 July 2021 - "It's Coming Home (Hopefully)"

  Fri 09 Jul 2021

  Dear Parents and Carers

  
  Monday 12 July 2021 - “It’s Coming Home (Hopefully)”

  
  I have been receiving queries about the upcoming football match on Sunday evening and the arrangements for Monday morning in case of a late finish (and hopefully celebrations).

  
  School will be open at the usual time of 8.45 am. However, as there may be some very tired children, we will extend registration until 10.30am.

  
  If your child is going to arrive later than 9.30 am and you wish them to have a hot meal please contact us by 9.30 am with their dinner choice. If you have not ordered a dinner, please send your child with a packed lunch.

  
  I hope you all have a great family evening.

  
  Stay safe.

  
  Yours sincerely

  
  Andrew Darby
  Headteacher
