Lunch
Meals are cooked on the premises by Mrs D Wardle and her staff, menus and ingredients comply with the Durham County ‘Healthy Eating’ Policy.
Children have a choice of three main courses every day. They also have a choice of fruit, yogurt or a pudding and are offered water or milk (through Cool Milk) everyday.
All Infant children (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) currently receive a free meal via the Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme (UIFSM). The school also receives additional funding known as Pupil Premium for pupils whose families receive certain benefits. We can however, only claim the pupil premium if we are aware of parents receiving one of the eligible benefits. Even if your child is on a packed lunch the school will still be able to claim the premium if you are eligible. It is therefore important that you complete the FSM verification form when your child starts with us in September.
Contact Forms
Upon your child joining the school, and every following year you will be asked for an emergency address or telephone number where you can be contacted if your child becomes ill at school. It is important if you change your number you let us know immediately.
