Lunch

All children will have the choice of a hot school dinner or bringing their own packed lunch. If you are providing a packed lunch for your child, it needs to be healthy, and include only 1 treat item (chocolate bar, crisps etc). Water is the only drink allowed in school - juice and fizzy drinks are not permitted. 

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club runs every day in the hall from 8am and costs £1 per child per day.
