Fasting & school meals

A reminder for parents whose children will be fasting this month. If a pupil decides to break their fast during the day or by lunchtime, we recommend that you provide a small healthy snack or a packed lunch as back up. The school is unable to provide school meals for children who later decide to break their fast as meal numbers are confirmed during morning registration. We will call you if your child has decided to break his/her fast.

If your child is going to fast during this month please can we request you complete the form (button below) so we are aware of your preference during Ramadan (this form was also texted out to all KS2 parents). This will also help reduce food wastage.
