Dear Parents and Carers,

Following the Prime Ministers announcement on Monday 4th January 2021 confirming School closures until February half term 2021, school will now be closed to all pupils except for pupils of critical workers and vulnerable pupils.

Dear Parents and Carers, 

Firstly, please allow me to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I hope that 2021 will be a much better year for us all. Over the past few days, you will have undoubtedly seen lots of news/media coverage regarding the revised tier system and school closures. I appreciate that this information can be confusing. Therefore, please allow me to explain the current position for our school. 

During the Christmas holiday, we are pleased to be able to continue to offer eligible parents and pupils access to free school meals by supplying supermarket eGift cards, that can be spent locally to you, funded by Birmingham City Council.

During the week commencing 14th December, eligible pupils from Reception to Year 6 will be issued with a £30 eCode, the equivalent of £15 per week, £3 per meal, for two weeks.  

Dear Parents/Carers,

Christmas Jumper Day:  Friday 11^th December - children can wear their most festive jumper to school on this day. There is no financial contribution expected for this event.

Food for Christmas Parties:  Please ensure that any food given is shop bought only and contains no nuts, traces of/or lentils. All packaged food must be brought into school by Monday 14^th December so that they can be quarantined before the party.
