Fruit Tuck Shop

As part of the Healthy Schools scheme we have opened a Fruit Tuck Shop during school break times.  It is an excellent opportunity for children to be encouraged to eat more fruit.  It has wider benefits including a practical initiative to support work in the curriculum on nutrition and further the idea of promoting a healthy school.
The fruit costs 20p per day for a whole portion and 50p per week for a half portion for Nursery pupils.  The selection of fruit varies from week to week and from season to season.  It has been very successful to date.

Year 6 pupils run the shop with assistance of Mrs Witchell - it give a real life source of data to supplement the Maths and ICT curriculum.  It also acts as a business enterprise scheme involving the local community.

 

School Milk

Milk is provided free of charge to all pupils in Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1.  This is wholly subsidised by the Welsh Assembly Government.   The school provides milk to all those Key Stage 2 pupils who wish to have it.  The cost is 15p per day.  Pupils entitled to free dinners do not have to pay for milk.

 

School Dinners

Payment for school meals should always be made in advance by cheque which should be made payable to Caerphilly County Borough Council.  School meals are provided on a 3-weekly menu. Copies of this menu are available from the reception area of the school.
If you wish to save on your cheques, feel free to pay monthly or termly.  All unused credits are automatically carried forward and we'll send a note home when your child runs out of credit.  Free meals are available to those pupils whose parents are in receipt of Income Support or Children's Tax Credit (not Working Families Tax Credit).  Form are available from the school office.

 

Pupils have a choice (on a daily basis) of whether to have a school meal or bring in sandwiches from home.  The school meals are provided by Caerphilly Catering and cost £1.75 per day ££8.75 per week.
