Free Meal Friday's

Dear parents and carers,

Last half-term, we trialled our ‘Free Meal Friday’ initiative, and I’m delighted to share that it will continue into the next half-term. We’re making a small but exciting change to enhance the experience even further.

Fridays will now become a celebration lunch, featuring a family-style dining experience. This means that some of the food will be served buffet-style at the tables, allowing children to help themselves and serve one another. Through this approach, we aim to foster oracy, cooperation, and positive peer interactions.

To support this initiative, we encourage as many children as possible to take up one of the three free meal options available each Friday. With the variety of choices on offer, we hope this will be a great opportunity for all children to enjoy a nutritious meal together, and that packed lunches won’t be necessary on these days.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us create a warm, inclusive, and community-focused lunchtime experience.
