Attendance
It has been fantastic to see the children in school again this week. As we begin to assess our children and start working on key areas of their learning, it is more important than ever that they come to school every day. We are determined that the disruption to their education over the past year will not impact on their life chances.




Easter 2021 School Meal Holiday Scheme
The government has extended the COVID Winter Grant scheme, which has enabled Havering Council to support families with meals. Families who are eligible will receive £30.00 per child to support with meals to cover the Easter break.

Families who received payment via the scheme previously do not need to reapply and will automatically receive the funds into their nominated bank account by Monday 22nd March. If you think you are eligible and did not previously apply, click this link for further information.
