GOOD NEWS!

We are opening on Monday 19th April.

All sessions must be booked in advance to help us maintain a Covid safe environment. 

We are open for bookings from Monday 12th April, simply call us on 020 8695 5915 to book your place and avoid disappointment. 

(Please do not leave a message on the answer machine or on our facebook page to book your place. Bookings must be made by speaking directly to a member of staff to enable us to complete our Track and Trace record).

FOOD BANK APPEAL

Due to demand our food bank is more popular than ever before but this means we are running short of our essential items. Can you help us? We are looking for donations of any tinned food, dried packets such as pasta and rice, breakfast cereals, tea/coffee, sugar, biscuits, toiletries and cleaning products.

Food donations can be made to the main school office or directly to the Children's Centre (Shroffold Road entrance).

ARE YOU RECEIVING, OR HAVE APPLIED FOR, UNIVERSAL CREDIT?

Get a one-off payment if you are struggling due to COVID-19

You may be able to get a one-off payment to help you buy essential food and fuel. 

There is an emergency payment for those eligible for Universal Credit who are facing further immediate, financial hardship due to COVID-19 and have no other assistance available. If you have no income as a result of losing your job or ability to work, you may qualify for a one-off payment. 

The payment is a grant so it does not need to be paid back. It does not replace any other form of support from the Government.
