Whole School Dinner Day

5th October 2023

Three times a year we hold an event called 'Whole School Dinner Day'. The first will be on Thursday, 5th October. The event is held for several reasons. Firstly, we want to encourage our children to make healthy choices with their eating and eating with their peers we have found, helps them to develop resilience in trying vegetables etc. Secondly, aware of financial pressures on our families, we want to support you by encouraging your child to take up the free daily school meal and not have the bother of preparing and cleaning lunchboxes each day. Lastly, the more dinners we order on this day, the greater the amount of money we get in our school budget and therefore the more we can provide for the children. We appreciate your support with these days and ask that you do not send in a packed lunch unless you feel strongly that your child will not eat enough to keep them going, in which case we would ask you to email us beforehand.
