Just before coronavirus disrupted our lives, I understand my predecessor had started inviting parents and carers to join their children for lunch. As you can imagine, this is quite a logistical exercise for a small school, and I have hesitated exploring it further while Amy was finding her feet and our new caterers introduced their changes; however, I feel we can now take the idea forward.

 

In June, we have set aside a Thursday for each class when adults can join the children at lunch from about 11.45 to 12.30:

 

• 6 June (Acorns)

• 13 June (Apples & Pears)

• 20 June (Willow)

• 27 June (Oak)

 

Although we can only seat one adult with each child, it can be anyone close - a parent or carer, another relative or a friend of the family - as obviously many stakeholders work. The adult can bring a packed lunch or pay for a cooked one in advance.

 

Amy will contact you very soon with the booking details. To allow Ginnie time to order enough ingredients, however, we need confirmation by 20 May.
