• Comic Relief 2023

  Wed 08 Feb 2023

  COMIC RELIEF:

   

  As we have previously agreed, through consultation, we celebrate a maximum of ONE charity event each term. This term, we shall be supporting Comic Relief.

   

  Red Nose Day takes place on FRIDAY 17th MARCH. On this day, children can come dressed either in red items/something funny.

   

  However, you DO NOT need to send in any money. This day is completely optional and if you would like to contribute to this fantastic cause, you can make donations online at:

• FSM Vouchers - February 23 Half Term

  Fri 03 Feb 2023

  IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

   

  We are very grateful that Sandwell Council has made arrangements to provide supermarket vouchers again for the February half term holiday (as per details shared on Class Dojo). 

   

  Remember, these are only available for those who are eligible and registered for Free School Meals (FSM) with the Council. This is different to the universal free meal scheme which gives all children a free lunch, from YR - Y2, regardless of income. 

   

  If you are allocated a voucher, you should download it immediately (you can keep it save for half term). The DEADLINE to download your voucher is 9.00am on WEDNESDAY 8th FEBRUARY so we have time to resolve any issues prior to half term.

   

  Information about FSM is available at:

   

  https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/info/200151/education_benefits/2176/free_school_meals

   

  As we have said before, it is worth signing up if eligible even if your child doesn't have a school meal every day. This is because it attracts additional funding for school so we can subsidise school clubs/residentials etc and you get access to vouchers when the council provides them.
