Payments – Breakfast club & lunch

June 2, 2021 Mrs Timoney

Please see information below about payment for school lunches:

As we move towards the easing of some restrictions relating to Covid-19, we are pleased to let you know that we are resuming cash payments for lunches. Pupils can pay in cash in primary schools from 7 June 2021.

The BACS payment process will remain in place for primary schools until Friday 28th May 2021. In the event of credit balances remaining through the BACS system, these should be run down to a nil balance by pupils taking meals as current practice.

Refunds will be made only in exceptional circumstances, e.g. if the pupil has left the school.

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club is available from 8am, Monday to Friday. Payment can be made in advance or as and when required to the catering staff. Please note that your child should arrive by 8.40am for this service.

Online Safety

March 10, 2021 Mrs Timoney

Online Safety

I have attached a ‘Family Agreement’ resource from Childnet International which you may find useful in monitoring your children’s online safety and activity.

A family agreement is a great way to start a conversation with your whole family about how you all use the internet, and to start discussions together around how to behave in a positive way when online, whether this is at home, at school or at a friend’s.

The family agreement provides a list of things to consider when creating a family agreement, and some examples to get you started. An agreement template is also provided to help families set clear expectations for positive and safe internet use.

The school iPads have limited access to social media platforms and websites, however, many children have personal devices. If you require advice and support, the website below provides a variety of very useful approaches and strategies to ensure your child is safe and responsible online. https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/advice-centre/parents-and-carers

We thank you for your cooperation in working with us to enable all our pupils to have positive online experiences and develop as digitally responsible citizens. If you have any concerns or suggestions please get in touch.

Kind Regards
