Dear Parents and Carers,
School Dinners – increase in price from the Easter Holiday
As you will know everything is increasing in price. We wish to inform you that we are going to have to raise the cost of a paid school dinner to £2.95 per day.
Please remember that in Reception, Years 1 and 2 all children are entitled to a free school meal each day. In Years 3-6 you may be entitled to a free school meal. If you are unsure then please ask the School Office for advice. Alternatively, you may visit the Sandwell Education Benefit webpage www.sandwell.gov.uk/schools-education/free-school-meals and complete a form online – if you become eligible, education benefits will contact both yourself and school.

Failure to collect your child by 5.30pm will result in you receiving a fine per child of an additional £5.00 per 15 minutes. Persistent lateness will result in your child’s place being withdrawn from the After School Provision List.
