Free School Meals Vouchers
Wed 25 Mar 2020As part of the response to the Coronavirus outbreak, we have been able to offer a voucher scheme for those families who qualify for free school meals. A link has been sent via email & text to those families who are eligible, which will allow them to choose which supermarket to use the voucher for. Every day a new voucher will be shared for £2.30 which is the cost of a child's meal. Please get in touch if you have any queries about this. -
School is closed
Sun 22 Mar 2020As per government direction, Sitwell Infant School is closed to the majority of children until further notice. We are only opening school for a small amount of children who are vulnerable or whose parents are classed as Key Workers. The government guidance is that if you are able to keep your child at home, even if one parent is a key worker, then you should. This is to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus and keep us safe.
Please do not turn up at school tomorrow unless you have received an email from us to confirm your child can attend. If your child is attending, please ensure they bring their PE kit with them and a packed lunch if they do not want a school grab bag lunch.
We hope all our families stay safe and we hope to see you all very soon.
