Census day is important for school funding because it is the day when schools collect crucial data about their student population, which is then used by the government to calculate and allocate funding based on factors like student numbers, demographics, and special needs, ensuring each school receives the appropriate level of financial support to meet their unique requirements.

The next Census day is Thursday 16 th  January. The dinner menu has been changed to encourage as many children as we can to have a Universal infant free school meal ( Year groups R,1,2 ) and those children in receipt of free school meals.

Please see dinner choice changes below:

Wednesday 15th January dinner choices are:

Green Option: Quorn & Leek Pastry Crown

Red Option: Sliced Pork with Yorkshire pudding

Blue Option: Jacket potato with cheese

Thursday 16th January dinner choices are:

Green Option: Margherita pizza

Red Option: Pork sausages with mash potato & gravy

Blue Option: Jacket Potato with Tuna & Cheese

Thank you.
