• 🎉 Food Technology Update 🎉

  Tue 16 Sep 2025

  To make things easier for families, we’ll now be purchasing all the ingredients needed for Food Technology lessons in school. This means parents won’t need to buy individual items anymore! 🙌

  We kindly ask for a £5 contribution per student, per term, which will be added to your ParentPay at the start of each term.

  🍽️ Important:
  If your child has any allergies, or there are religious or cultural dietary requirements, please email their House Manager so we can make the necessary arrangements.

  📦 Reminder: Students should still bring their own container for taking food home.

  Thanks for your support! 💙
