Free School Meals during Half Term Holidays

You may have seen that Birmingham City Council will fund free school meals for eligible pupils over the half term period. The council will be making arrangements for this during the next week, working to ensure vouchers or equivalent can be provided retrospectively to schools after the half-term break to be distributed to families.

Support will be available at the beginning of term. In the meantime, support is available from Birmingham Children’s Partnership – locality contact details here.

REMINDER: Parents, please maintain social distancing when on school site of at least 2 metres.

Information for Parents/Carers - RE: Positive Cases of Covid-19

In the event of the school receiving confirmation of a confimed case of Covid-19, we will follow government guidelines. Pupils and staff who have been in close contact with the confirmed case will be asked to self-isolate for 14 days. If your child is identified as a close contact and needs to self-isolate, we will contact you to let you know further information.

If your child displays any symptoms of Covid-19, you must get a test before they can return to school. You can register for a test online by clicking here.
