At lunchtime children can either bring a packed lunch or have a school
dinner. Chartwells Catering offer an excellent choice of three hot meals.
All school dinners come with a salad bar, fresh bread, fruit and yogurt
and water is provided to drink. We sendmenus home and encourage
parents/carers to discuss food choices with their children before school
on Mondays. We have special dinners for events such as Christmas and
Chinese New Year.
Children in Foundation Two, Year 1 and Year 2 will receive a free
school lunch.
If a packed lunch is brought, please send the food in a box with your child’s
name and class clearly marked on the front. Parents are asked not to send
sweets, fizzy drinks, hot soup, or drinks in glass bottles or cans (water is
provided). If you wish to change your child’s lunch time arrangements, please
give a minimum of two weeks written notice as food is ordered in advance.
A pro forma is available to do this in the School Office.
School Meals
We aim to develop children who are responsible adults with a sense of
community. The streets around our school can be dangerous if parents/
carers fail to comply with the yellow lines and ‘no parking’ markings. All
parents/carers must find a safe and sensible place to park when dropping
off or collecting children and we must to point out that it is illegal to stop
on the ‘no parking’ area when collecting or dropping off children. Thank
you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Safe Parking
We do not allow dogs (apart fromguide and
assistance dogs) into the school buildings
or grounds for the health and safety of our
children, this includes carrying a dog! Please
inform the School Office if you see a dog on
the school site.
No Dog Policy
FCAPS (previously the Parent Staff Association) is very active
and as parents you are automatically members. We hold various
functions to raise money such as quiz evenings, raffles and
Summer Fairs. The money raised from these events benefits
all children as FCAPS have provided playground equipment,
computers, books and library resources in the past.

Parents are welcome to request any LEA information,
Governing Body minutes, HMI statements, DfE
publications or any school policies and curriculum
guidelines. If you would like a copy of these
documents you should contact the school and we will
produce a copy within five days. A small charge to
cover the cost of photocopying will be made.
Access to Information
Educational visits outside school form an important part of your child’s
education, as do visits to school by, for example, theatre groups or
authors. School will ask for a voluntary contribution towards the cost
of such visits. Where insufficient voluntary contributions are received,
the activity may have to be cancelled.
The cost of voluntary activities and visits taking
place outside school hours will be charged
to you if your child is taking part. Financial
assistance may be available in some cases.
