Thank you to all the parents who have supported the Parents & Friends Canteen this year, we greatly appreciate it. The canteen is fully self funding, manned by volunteers and any profits made from the canteen will be going towards the fundraising efforts for the new playground.

It is a lot of hard work for our volunteers and we have had a lot of problems with orders coming in late and without payments attached. This makes it difficult as we have to pre-order and pay for food prior to Thursday and to accommodate late orders we then run short. 

To prevent this from happening, we are going to send order forms home on Monday with children and orders forms are to be returned on Tuesday with the correct money. It is too hard for volunteers to keep a track of who has not paid and these orders will not be accepted any more. We apologise for the inconvenience.

We understand how difficult it can be to have cash on you these days and we are currently looking into an online ordering and payment system as a priority, however we are all volunteers with other commitments to attend to so it will take time. Please know that this is something we want as much, if not more than you do!

Also, if your child is not at school on the day, we will not be doing credits. This is because we have ordered and paid for food prior to the day.

On behalf of the Parents and Friends Association and all our wonderful canteen volunteers, we want to thank you for your support and understanding.

Should you wish to talk about anything, please feel free to contact Laura Corbett or Katherine Dewhurst directly.
