Free School Meals/Pupil Premium
Although all infant children receive a government funded free school meal it is important that families entitled to relevant benefits make an application, as this entitles you to further financial assistance and also allows the school to claim a grant. Please read the following document and make a claim if relevant.
Nursery funding: 15 or 30 hours
15 hours
St Adrian’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery offers the Free Early Education Entitlement for 3 and 4 year olds. The entitlement to a free Nursery place is 15 hours over 38 weeks. We are offering morning sessions from 8.45am-11.45 pm Monday to Friday, a total of 15 funded hours. We may also be able to offer you these hours over 2½ days.
30 hours
In addition, we are offering 30 hour child care places. The 30 hours is free to eligible families and you can check whether you are entitled to this here: https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/
A 30 hours free childcare checklist has been developed for parents which covers some frequently asked questions. You will be required to reconfirm your eligibility for this to us by applying for an 11 digit code every 3 months. If you do not qualify for 30 hours free you can top up by paying for additional sessions.
Please could you download and complete the declaration form below to confirm whether your child will be attending for 15 our 30 hours and hand this to the school office.

Useful tips to prepare your child for starting school
School Dinners – For children Reception to Year 6
The school cook provides 4 meal choices per day for children in Reception to Year 6. A meat option, a vegetarian meal, a cold packed lunch or a jacket potato with fillings. The menu runs on a three week cycle changing twice a year. We ask parents of Reception children to choose their child’s meals in advance on the online Reception Admission Form.
Children with any food allergies or medical needs must notify Herts Catering via this link. https://specialmenu.hcl.co.uk/
They request this information even if you are planning to send a home packed lunch, so they have your child’s details if they ever needed to provide a meal, for instance, due to a forgotten/spoiled packed lunch
Arbor Payments and Communication
Arbor is the preferred method for payment for all school purchases. Parents are invited to log in and set up an account which can then be used to purchase school milk, school bookbags/gym bags/caps and in future can be used to pay for school trips, lunches etc.
If you have trouble logging in, it may be because the school doesn’t have your current email and mobile phone number on record. Please call or email the school and we’ll update the details on our system. ([email protected])
Governors
Please see the linked letter below. If any one requires a paper copy of the standing order or Gift Aid forms please contact the school office.
PTA
Our school has a very active Parent Teacher Association. Please take a look at their page on the school website. The attached flyer gives you information about up coming events which they hope to host in the autumn term, but of course these will be subject to government restrictions in place at the time.
