School Meals
Reminder to parents of a short postponement of school meals. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control and until further notice, the hot meals at lunch time will be replaced with the provision of Sandwiches, Fresh Fruit, Yoghurts and Milk each day.
The North Eastern Education & Library Board have stated that they will endeavour to provide a new piece of equipment that we require within a few weeks and when the unit has been installed, dinners will resume.
Those children with entitlement for Free School Meals will obviously be catered for with a ‘packed lunch’ type meal as detailed above and the option also remains for parents to buy this type of lunch if they so desire.

All parents are cordially invited and we would hope to see as many of you as possible in attendance.
