Our P4-P7 supervised sessions in school for both vulnerable and children of key workers will continue as normal. Children attending the sessions should bring a packed lunch or purchase a meal on our app. Free school meals will not be provided for supervised sessions.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
