It should be remembered that ALL children in Reception to Year 2 are entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal EVERY day, so this is a free alternative to providing a home packed lunch. 

For school uniform, we have a selection of pre-used uniform available as an 'eco-friendly' alternative to buying new. 

Please do not hesitate speak to Mrs Waight in the school office at Albury or Mrs Rookard in the school office at Puller if you are finding it difficult to pay for school uniform or trips as we are always happy to help when necessary.
