• Free School Meals - Pupil Premium Fund

  Dear Parents

   

  Free School Meals – Pupil Premium Fund

   

  As you will know, the children in our school receive a free school meal under the Government initiative, ‘Universal Infant School Meals’.

   

  However, some children will also qualify for income related free school meals due to their parent’s personal circumstances.  Whilst this does not affect your child’s current rights to a free meal, if you register for free school meals through Medway Council, the school will receive additional funding which is used to support the children’s education.  In addition, you will receive vouchers throughout the school holidays to use at supermarkets of your choice. 

   

  We are therefore asking that if you feel you might be eligible, please apply on Medway Council’s website using the following link: https://www.medway.gov.uk/info/200164/school_information/354/free_school_meals

   

  If you would like support with this application, please pop into the school office and speak to Mrs Russell who will be more than happy to help you.

• Harvest Festival - Thursday 5th October 2023

  Tue 03 Oct 2023 Miss Strachan

   

  Wednesday 27th September 2023

   

  Dear Parents

  
  We would like to invite you to our Harvest Festival service which will be held in the school hall at 9.00am on Thursday 5^th October 2023

   

  We will not be going to St John’s Church as was our tradition, due to the building works still taking place there.

   

  It will be a short service in the school hall led by Esther, St John’s Church verger, in which the children are invited to donate one of the items listed below from the Medway food bank shopping list.

   

  The children will be singing songs and saying prayers to thank God for the food we have and to pray for those less fortunate than ourselves.

   

  If you have younger children in buggies, please by all means bring the little ones into the hall but leave the buggies outside on site, making sure you take the little ones out of the hall if they are crying.

   

  Please also note that we only have children’s benches and children’s chairs for the adults to sit on, so some of you may feel more comfortable standing at the back of the hall on this occasion for the estimated 15-20 minute duration.

   

  The children should enter school at their normal time in their uniform on this day and they will be brought into the school hall to join their audience at the allocated time

   

  We look forward to seeing you there and joining us in prayer.
