Don't forget to wear a rainproof coat every day! Also, we recommend children bring a jumper or fleece to school to wear in the classroom when the weather turns (we will be keeping windows open to ensure proper ventilation during the pandemic).

So, it is in everyone's interests that eligible families secure their grant for Free School Meals.
