School Holiday Meal Scheme
Through the Government’s Household Support Fund, the Council have allocated funding to continue the School Holiday Meal Scheme for February half-term. The funding will allow eligible families to receive £15 per child to cover the one week school break. The scheme provides funds to ensure that eligible families can purchase food over the holiday period to replace the meals a child would have received during a school day. The application window will open for a short period from Monday 31st January at 9am, closing on Friday 4th February at 5pm. Families who have previously received payment via the scheme do not need to reapply and will automatically receive the funds into their nominated bank.
Families can make a new claim if;
· they did not apply during any previous application periods, or
· they were not previously eligible, however their circumstances have changed and now are eligible, or
· they would like to claim for additional children who they have claimed for previously, but were not eligible at the time, or
· they would like to claim for additional children who they’ve not applied for in the past.
Details about the scheme will be updated on the Council’s website from Wednesday 26 January, with the application form going live from Monday 31 January at 9 am.
ABACUS After school club
With the success of the ABACUS breakfast club we would like to gauge interest of parents and carers who would use the ABACUS after school club. Please use the link below for more information and to register interest. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1R3KKTQPxjh6ytl_uYscA6WPOuhb2oMDyuR_mlycJGZI/edit?usp=sharing
School Toilets
Unfortunately, we are unable to allow parents or young children into school from the playground to use the school toilets before school or at the end of the day. If there is an urgent need to use a toilet or have a young child in need, please make your way to the school office where you will be given access to the adult toilets.
Scooters and bikes
Scooters and bikes must not be ridden on the school grounds. Please wait to leave the school premises before using them as this could cause an accident with the number of parents and carers that are on the school grounds at any one time.
