Menu:  English Primary Menu Sept 2018

Meals are brought in daily and are enjoyed by the children. Vegetarians are catered for. The cost is £2.30 per meal (Sept.’18) and are paid for using the Parent Pay system, see https://www.parentpay.com/ for details. If you are on a low income, you can get help with the cost of school meals. More information and application forms are available at http://www.powys.gov.uk/en/schools-students/free-school-meals-help-with-school-clothing/  or by telephone on 01597 827462. If you register for free school meals, even if your child decides never to have a school lunch, you could help our school and other schools in Powys to benefit from funding because you have registered.To register is easy and confidential, you don’t have to tell the school.

Children can bring packed lunches (healthy food please) if preferred.

We are very proud that our school has been recognised for “sustained excellence in their teaching”. The recent Estyn publication ‘Improving Teaching’  includes a case study of Gladestry C-in-W School (pages 82-84).
