Dear Parents/Guardians

2nd Anniversary Of  Ratatouille Restaurant
On Wednesday, 22nd April we will be celebrating the 2nd anniversary of our school meals (see menu on the back).  To celebrate this occasion and the fantastic success of our healthy school meals, we are offering school meals for just £1.00 on that Wednesday.  Thank you all for your continuing support.  We continue to provide well over half of our pupils with school meals.  Look out for the summer menu.  Kevin is planning some surprises.  A huge thank you to Kevin and all his staff.
