Head of School's Message
Dear Parents and Carers, ​
​
School Meals – Warm, Wholesome and Delicious
​
We are delighted to offer a wonderful array of meal choices prepared in our school kitchen. All meals are cooked on site, are wholesome and nutritious, and are designed to meet the dietary needs of most children in our setting.
​
The children thoroughly enjoy their lunches and are often very proud to finish with a clean plate. Pudding is served with every lunch, along with a light evening tea, and these are equally well received.
​
If you would like your child to enjoy a delicious hot school meal during the cold winter months, please speak to Wendy, who will be happy to assist you. Our school lunches are priced at £4.50 and the menu can be viewed on our website.
​
We are also excited to announce our upcoming Christmas Lunch, which will be served on Wednesday 10th December. Forms for your child’s menu choices must be returned no later than Friday 28th November.
Calling All Christmas Wrappers!
​
We are looking for some festive helpers who would be willing to give up a little of their time to help us wrap books for the children, so that Santa can deliver a special present to each child on Wednesday 10th December.
​
All wrappers are very welcome – no experience needed, just enthusiasm and a bit of Christmas spirit!
​
If you are able to help, please speak to Wendy in the office, who can’t wait to take your details and get you involved in spreading some Christmas magic over the festive period.
