All of our children in Reception – Year 2 are entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal and have their lunch in the hall, they may alternatively bring a packed lunch from home. If children bring a packed lunch, we ask parents to consider healthy options and not to include sweets and chocolate. We provide your child with a school water bottle in September, please ensure you send your child to school with their water bottle.

Hey there, couldn’t help noticing you’re using Internet Explorer

That’s great and all, and we commend you for pushing through with it. Unfortunately we no longer offer support for IE; it hasn’t received a major update since 2015 and Microsoft are dropping support for it later in the year.

If you’re using Windows 10 and want to stick with a built in browser, please consider switching to Edge. Or, if you really want to enjoy the internet properly we strongly recommend downloading Google Chrome here.
