You will have most likely watched the Prime Minister's address to the nation yesterday and like us, you will have many questions. At the moment we have no further information on this, so please be patient and we will share what we know when we know it. We can reassure you that school will not re-open until it is absolutely safe to do so. Our plan for now, is to continue to provide activity packs for learning at home and links on the website, keep in contact with you, and continue to support each other during these very difficult and uncertain times.
07.05.2020
We have made some new learning packs for your child which you can collect from school reception after 1pm Thursday 7th May or w/c 11th May.

EASTER HOLIDAY PROVISION
School will be closed during the Easter holiday due to new heating works being carried out within school, however, we will continue to provide provision for children of key workers at Purston Infants School for those key workers who have notified school that they need care during this time.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS DURING HOLIDAY TIME
During what would have been school holiday's, we are accessing the government voucher scheme. You will receive an email from EDENRED with instructions on how to download your voucher. Please check your inbox, junk/spam folders daily. There has been a significant amount of issues with the government website due to demand, which means that some parents have not yet received the link or voucher. Please continue to check your mail as all our vouchers have now been issued. If you haven't received a link by w/c 27th April or you haven't received the voucher after following the link, please email Mrs Dixon (SBM) at admin@stthomasfeatherstone.co.uk and I will try to help you further. Vouchers are £15 per week per child available to redeem at certain supermarkets.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS DURING TERM TIME
School will continue to provide free school meal children with a grab bag (except during the Easter holiday's). If you are currently eligible for free school meals and would like a grab bag for your child, please contact 01977 706063 and let school know. Further instructions will be given once you register with school. Please note: as we are working closely with our school lunch provider, Dolce, we will not be issuing any supermarket vouchers as per the government guidelines.
MESSAGE FROM STAFF:
The children of our key workers have paper weaved their message...thank you Key Workers!!!!
