Clubs for autumn 1 are now available to book via Schoolcomms – see timetable and please book by date of first session.

Free School Meals Information (FSM)

The Government have announced that from September, all children in households on Universal Credit are entitled to Free School Meals, regardless of income. This change is expected to make many more families eligible for support.

If you do not currently receive Free School, Meals please see the poster attached from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC) advising how to apply for Free School Meals and how to find out more information.

Transitional protection is ending, which means some current eligibility may change. Families will receive an official notification by letter if they’re affected. Please note that if your child’s eligibility does change, this may affect their access to free after school clubs and discounted school trips (currently funded through pupil premium)

Happy Holidays

Wishing everyone a lovely summer – school reopens on Wednesday 2nd September 2026 (Bank Holiday on Monday 31st August and Inset Day on Tuesday 1st September).
