Unless the weather is unsuitable, the children play outside in the playground, supervised by two members of staff. Children should bring a clean water bottle to school each day.
Lunch Time
Parents have the choice of hot meals or packed lunches at lunchtime. The meals are cooked at Ashby-de-la-Zouch C of E Primary School and transported to Blackfordby, where they are served in the school hall. The menus are changed three times a year, parents will receive a menu and are free to choose which day their children have a hot meal.
Arrangements for free school meals
Parents who are in receipt of Income Support or Income based Job Seekers Allowance may apply for free school meals.
Attendance
School attendance is measured by sessions, morning and afternoon each day, for every child. Should parents wish to take their child out of school for holidays in addition to school holidays, a holiday form, available from the school office, should be completed. It is not expected that parents should request permission to take their child out of school in a school year, but such a request would be considered in exceptional cases.
