Its's Census Day on Thursday 1st October!

School funding depends directly on how many children enjoy a school lunch on Census Day. More meals served means more funding for your children's education and school resources.

If your child usually brings a packed lunch, please encourage them to try a hot dinner! Sandwiches and jacket potatoes will also be available.
