ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes are now entitled to a free hot lunch. We hope parents will join us in actively encouraging their child/ren to take a hot meal at lunch time. There are 3 choices of main course each day. Menus are on a 3 week rota; copies are available to view or download from the folder below.
For pupils in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 a hot lunch costs £2.34 per day unless parent/s are eligible for Free School Meal Entitlement then their lunch will also be free; call into the school office for further details.

For every child that is entitled to benefits-related free school meals the school receives extra funding to enhance provision and improve progress and outcomes for children. So please apply even if you do not wish to take up your free school meal.

GUIDANCE FOR PARENTS/CARERS ON TAKING VIDEOS/PHOTOS AT SCHOOL EVENTS
We do allow parents/carers to take video and photographs at school events.
However, we do ask parents/carers to respect privacy and so photography at events is on the understanding that photographs or videos that contain images of children other than their own will be for personal use only and will not be posted on the internet.
Parents have the right to refuse permission for the school to publish their child’s photo or video image on the school website or in local media and should notify the school, in writing, if they do not want their child’s photo published.
The school will work from the premise that parents/carers are happy for their child’s picture to be published.
Parents are asked to inform the school if they do not wish their child’s image to be used or shared as outlined above.PROCEDURES FOR EMERGENCY CLOSURES
In the event that we have to close the school this website will be updated. We will also send out a message via ParentPay to all families.
The status of the school will be shown on the Gloucestershire County Council website: https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/closures/
