Dear Parents and Carers,

🍂 Thank You for Coming to Our Harvest Festival! 🍂

Thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s Harvest Festival. It was lovely to celebrate together and see so many smiles.

Your kind donations will be shared between The Love Glastonbury Food Bank and our own school pantry to help local families in need.

The children sang beautifully, and it was wonderful to have our first service led by Rev. Alice Watson, our new vicar.

Thank you for your kindness and support!

Have a nice weekend!

With warm wishes,
Kerry Devane
Headteacher

School Lunches

ALL children in school are eligible for a FREE lunch.
After half-term, the menu will change.
If you haven't already done so, please complete the order form on the link below, even if you will be sending packed lunches every day. It will help with ordering accurately and minimising wastage.
You are asked to order for the final week of the current menu and the first three weeks after half-term, all on the same link.
Thank you in advance.

Any questions, please ask.
