UNIVERSAL FREE SCHOOL MEALS

 

All children from Reception to Year 2 are currently entitled to universal free school meals. All our meals are cooked on site in our school kitchen from fresh ingredients.

READING

 

We have recently changed our reading scheme to Collins Big Cat in line with phonics. We value reading at home and at school and ask that children read at home regularly. Reading is the key to all learning and an especially important skill to learn.
