Child tax credit: provided you are not entitled to working tax credit (unless four week run on) and have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue and Customs) that does not exceed £16,190.
 
We encourage parents/carers to apply for this hugely beneficial scheme, even if your child is entitled to Universal Free School Meals.

Stay hydrated

It is important that children are kept hydrated through the school day.

Please remember these important guidelines:

• Children should arrive at school with a plastic bottle of water every day.
• Teachers will encourage the routine of drinking during learning time and when children can access their drink.
• No fizzy drinks / squash or juices.
• The only drink permitted in school is water. Should a child arrive with juice, the teacher will ask for it to be poured away, rinsed and refilled with water.
• Children may enjoy a juice / squash drink in their packed lunch box, which is only to be consumed during the lunch hour.
