School Meals

Meals are cooked on the premises by the cook and her experienced staff. Payment for school meals is collected every day or by the Friday of that week, if payment is not received a note will automatically be sent out on the Friday. Please send money in a named purse or envelope. The cost of a school meal is £1.75 per day. As a school we are unable to issue meals on the Monday if payment has not been received by the previous Friday. You will be asked to either send in sandwiches or to collect your child at lunchtime if payment is outstanding, any monies sent in will be deducted from that which is outstanding.

If you think you may be entitled to a free school meal please call into the office for a form but could you return the completed form with your relevant claim book/paperwork etc to:
Support Services, Education Department, 16 Lord Street, Wrexham. LL11 1LJ

Sandwiches
Supervision and accommodation are provided for children bringing sandwiches to school. All meals should be in a suitable container but no glass bottles or canned drinks please. We do not have refrigeration facilities and storage space is very limited – Please use sandwich boxes and not bags. In the warmer weather an 'ice pack' in the sandwich box is advisable. We have a Senior Midday Supervisor and Midday Supervisor - "Dinner Ladies" who are responsible for the children at lunchtime. Classroom staff also supervise children at lunchtime on a rota basis.

Breaktime Snacks
As part of our 'Healthy Schools Project' and 'Personal Social and Health Education Curriculum', your child will be provided with a drink and something to eat at a cost of £1.00 per week. It would be appreciated if this could be paid weekly on a Monday and that the money is placed in a clearly marked purse or envelope.

Free Breakfast Initiative
The Welsh Assembly Government made a commitment to provide all children of primary school age registered in maintained primary schools in Wales with the opportunity to have a free, healthy breakfast at school each day.

I am pleased to inform you that Johnstown Infant School has decided to take part in the free breakfast initiative. If you are interested please call into the school office. This provision commences daily at 8.00 a.m.
