Dear Parents/Carers,

Autumn census day special menu – Thursday 1^st October 2026

On Thursday 1^st October, the school has to submit its summer census data to the government.  This data is used to determine how much funding our school receives for the next financial year. Part of our funding is dependent on the number of free universal infant school meals that are served on the day. We have therefore decided to serve two tempting meals on this Thursday which we hope will appeal to all our children.

MAIN COURSE

Red:                                       Cheesy pizza style pork hot dog with skin on fries

Green:                Cheesy pizza style veggie hot dog with skin on fries

Yellow:                                Jacket potato (with choice of fillings)

Blue:                                     Sandwich (with a choice of fillings)

DESSERT                     Pineapple shortbread biscuit, yoghurt or fruit

It is extremely important that all children in Reception, Y1, Y2 order a school lunch on Thursday 1^st as this will ensure that we receive the maximum funding available. [If a child in Rec, Y1, Y2 does not have a meal on this day the school will receive NO government meal funding for them for the whole year].

If your child has been bringing a packed lunch this is an ideal opportunity to let them try a school meal. However, your child can bring a packed lunch as a backup in case they do not like the dinner provided.

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Yours faithfully

Caroline Fairfax

Headteacher
