Today Puffin Class were very lucky to have a visit from Newquay Fire Service. The children learnt all about the clothes the crew wear to keep safe. Then all the children got a tour of the engine and learnt all about the hoses, fans, angle grinder, spreader and how they get water to put out fires. 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 🚒 Puffin class also got to explore inside the engine and saw the torches and equipment they wear when they go to an emergency.

Free School Meals: Important Information for Families From September 2026, more children are entitled to free school meals. 🍅 Who can get free school meals? Children whose parent or carer receives Universal Credit are now entitled to free school meals. This includes children attending school-based nurseries and maintained nursery schools. 🥦 What's changed? The temporary protections that allowed some children to keep their free school meal entitlement after a change in family circumstances have now ended. Free school meal eligibility is now based on whether your household receives Universal Credit. 🍇 Why is it important to apply? Registering for free school meals can provide benefits for both your child and the school. Your child may be entitled to: Free school meals each day. Additional support through school funding where eligible. 🍏 How do I apply? If you receive Universal Credit and think your child may be eligible: Contact the school office for advice, or Apply through Cornwall Council's free school meals website. If you are unsure whether you qualify, we encourage you to apply or speak to the school for guidance. 🥬 Keep us updated If you start receiving Universal Credit or your circumstances change, please let the school know as soon as possible. This will help ensure your child's eligibility is checked and that they receive any support available. If you think your child may be eligible, please apply. The process is quick and could unlock valuable support for your child and the school.
