Message for parents of children in receipt of Free School Meal

As you may be aware, the voucher scheme for Free School Means has been in the news and has been overwhelmed in terms of orders. We have signed up to the scheme, but like many schools, we have faced difficulties in getting the scheme through.

With this in mind, we have taken the decision to organise another FSM parcel which will be ready on Wednesday 22nd April from Dene Magna.

As before, the parcel will be ready in the main hall and we will continue with the alphabet system based on surnames. 

A-D collection between 10.00 - 11.00
E-H collection between 11.00 - 12.00
J-P collection between 12.00-1.00
R-Z collection between 1.00 - 2.00

If you cannot make it into school then please contact Peter Adams on 01594545318 or p.adams@denemagna.gloucs.sch.uk

For those who do come to collect, we thank you in advance for bearing with us whilst we operate appropriate social distancing.

Our aim is to get the first Eden Red FSM vouchers issued for Monday 27th April and we plan to issue these vouchers in blocks of two weeks at a time. We have seen that Morrison's are delivering boxes that are valued at £30 (the allowance for two weeks) and we would encourage you to try to use this where possible.

Matt Bishop is contacting those parents who we do not have an email for (as you need one!). If you have updated your email or do not think that you have given us your email then please contact Matt on m.bishop@denemagna.gloucs.sch.uk. You can also leave a message on Peter Adams number 01594545318. You will need to let us have any changed details by Wednesday 22nd April.

Thanks in advance for your support and we will let you know more next week on the final plans for the vouchers.

Take care and stay safe
