The government has announced today that an e-voucher/e-gift card scheme for pupils who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals. All schools are awaiting further information on the scheme so that we can roll the programme out.

The e-vouchers/e-gift cards are for term time only and we are working through the details as we receive the information. Our plan is to continue as we have been, offering packed lunches, until after the Easter holidays, but if we can, we will claim your e-voucher/e-gift card this week.

For the next 3 weeks we will continue to provide FSMs as we have been so please continue to come into school to collect your FSM. This will be on MONDAY AND THURSDAYS DURING THE EASTER BREAK.

FSM provision is changing after Easter. If you receive FSM and haven’t already given your email to the school then please phone and do so. I’m order to receive your voucher we need this information by Friday 3rd April.

We will continue to provide packed lunches until with April.

Thank you. For further government guidance please follow the link below

Dear Parents,

We confirmed before school closed that Carlton residential was being postponed and a new date for the visit was sent out via letter.. Unfortunately, we have been informed that there has been a further change of date.

Carlton will now take place on Monday 12th until Friday 16th October 2020.

Thank you for your ongoing support with these changes.

Mrs Biggins

Dear Parents

This is just a reminder that we also have a school twitter account @BroughamPrimary for up-to-date information

Thanks
