| We understand that the increased cost of living has affected employment and income for many of our families. Over the last few years we have been working with a number of partners to provide uniforms, support with school trips, furniture, food vouchers etc.
Food Wallace Food Bank We have a Food Bank at the front entrance to our school for everyone in our school community to use. Please take what you need, there is no need to ask, and leave what you can. Thank you to our Food Bank sponsors; Peachy Clean, Pass with Iain, 4 Corners Boxing Gym, RJ Smith Electrical, Blue Chip Fibre Optic and East Gate Church.
