Free School Meals

Free School Meals Entitlement

If your circumstances have changed e.g. you have been furloughed, are no longer employed or you are currently receiving certain benefits, we would encourage you to make a quick application for free school meal vouchers as you could be eligible for this financial support. 

Even if your child is not attending school this term, if eligible you will be entitled to £15 supermarket vouchers every week and will be provided throughout the Summer holidays as well.

Registering is really quick and easy–you can apply on the Kent County Council website at https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/kent/ and get an immediate answer. 

No one will know you have registered and it will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.

Assemblies- Oak National Academy

This week we're incredibly excited to be joined by The Duchess of Cambridge, who wants to share the importance of spreading a little kindness for our mental wellbeing. This assembly is based on a lesson plan which is available on the Mentally Healthy Schools Platform. It was developed in collaboration with children’s mental health charity Place2Be and encourages children to explore ways in which they can show kindness, and recognise the benefits of kindness to others.

What a lovely first day. It was so nice to see the children back into school today. Each 'Hub' took advantage of using the outside areas at much as possible.

Unsure Return Question - Nursery, Year R, Year 1 and Year 6

 I have said I don’t want my child to return to school, what if I change my mind? 
The school is now ready to welcome back those children whose parents have confirmed that they will be attending on Monday 15th June.
If you have chosen not to send your child in and then at some point change your mind, the earliest they will be able to attend is Monday  22nd June.
As you can appreciate, we hold our pupil’s safety as our key priority and we need to group them in stable and secure ‘bubbles’. An increase in numbers will mean a possible rearrangement of these social bubbles and this will take time. 

Please ring the school if you wish your child to return and please do not expect a return date earlier than the following Monday.
