Christmas Lunch Letter
Dear Parents/Carers,
Christmas Lunch will take place on Wednesday 18th December 2024. We are pleased to confirm that once again this Christmas lunch will be offered free of charge for all children throughout the school.
Children can swap their school logo jumper for a Christmas one on 18th December to add to the festive atmosphere.
The Christmas menu is attached with this letter.
Our catering company, Aspens, are keen to confirm numbers for the Christmas lunch to ensure they are able to order the food in plenty of time. Therefore, we are asking parents to confirm whether their child will want a Christmas meal.
Children in EYFS, Year 1 & Year 2
All children in EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 qualify for Universal Infant Free School Meals, therefore we will automatically book every child in these year groups for a Christmas lunch. If your child does NOT want this meal, please email the school office [email protected] with your child’s name and class by Monday 25th November to opt out.
Children in Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 (KS2)
Parents of children in Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 that wish their child to have a Christmas lunch must book via ParentPay www.parentpay.com
This will show as a charge on your child’s ParentPay account but will be credited before the end of the term. Bookings will need to be made on ParentPay by Monday 25th November 2024 at the latest. After this date no further bookings can be made and your child will need to bring in a packed lunch on 18th December.
Children who will not be having the Christmas lunch must bring a packed lunch on this day, there will be no alternative options available.
On Thursday 19th December there will be a menu change, the Christmas lunch will replace the roast dinner for the week, therefore, the menu on Thursday 19th December will switch to Wednesday’s menu of Lasagne or Vegetable Lasagne.
With regards,
Uphill Village Academy
