• Pre-Packed Foods in School

  Tue 30 Apr 2024

  We are working with the ‘Allergy Team’ and have signed up to be added to the Schools Allergy Register.

  The Schools Allergy Register includes a list of schools who have adopted the allergy code and undergone assessment by The Allergy Team. This means that anyone can search the register to find schools which are committed to best practice in managing allergies.

  Schools on the register have undergone assessments by The Allergy Team and have a special endorsement which shows schools that go above and beyond their statutory responsibilities and are putting the safety and inclusion of pupils first. 

  Therefore – going forward we are only able to accept pre-packed food in school. This includes food brought in for parties, birthday treats etc.

  As much as we love to see your homemade creations, this is to keep everyone as safe as possible.

• Sam Thompson Cash 4 Kids Challenge

  Tue 30 Apr 2024

  We are taking part in the 1 million step challenge for cash for kids! We are looking to walk at least 800m (This should give us over 226,000 steps.)

  We are hoping that nearly every family could sponsor us £1 to go towards Cash for Kids and the amazing work they do. DONATIONS MUST BE MADE VIA THE LINK BELOW -

  Where the money goes -

  Children from struggling families have free school meals during term-time, so they have at least one hot meal a day during the week.

  But during the holidays they’re going hungry or could be eating unhealthy, processed foods. Initiatives driven by community groups, schools, sports clubs and small local charities try to fill the gap by providing food and activities - and it’s these that Cash for Kids Day funds will support.

  -£5.50 could provide drinks, snacks and a hot meal at a holiday club for one child a day

  -£11.94 could provide a day’s experience and a hot meal for a child

  -£51.66 could provide a place at a five-day sports club with breakfast and lunch.

• WVPS Foodbank

  Tue 23 Apr 2024

  You may have seen our recent post RE us looking for ways in which we can support families struggling with the cost of living crisis and setting up our own foodbank. We have decided that we would like to be able to give to ANY family in need without any restrictions being imposed. (Some food banks are restricted to families entitled to benefits and require a referral.)

   

  We have therefore decided we are going to try and coordinate this in school for our own families. Further information will follow on how you can request help from us.

   

  If the donations continue to come in – we will also look to donating to local community food banks such as CDW Foodbank in West Denton, who only require proof of address but initially we will be collecting for school families only.

  If this changes and donations will be given to CDW we will communicate this clearly with our families.

   

  We know that donations may be minimal as we are all feeling the pinch - If you are in a position to make a donation now or in the future, please send any donations into school with your child.
