Unfortunately, now that the Government has made the decision to close schools until at least 22nd February, to all pupils except vulnerable children and the children of critical workers, the company supplying our school meals have made the decision to furlough their staff and close the catering operation.
The Government is in the process of setting up a new voucher scheme for families entitled to Free School Meals (FSM). However, as this often takes a long time to set up, we will continue to issue Asda vouchers to all those who qualify. We will process this as quickly as possible.
As there are vulnerable children and the children of critical workers currently in school and because we are issuing all families that entitled to FSM with vouchers, we would ask all parents/carers to provide all children that are attending at the moment, with a pack up lunch and some tuck.
If this is a problem and you cannot provide your child with a packed lunch please contact us on 01527 68430 or email enquiries@birchensale.worcs.sch.uk .
