Dear Children and Parents,
As a Rights Respecting School, Bidston Avenue Primary School believes in 'respect for the views of the child'.
Click on the link above to see the PowerPoint.
This article is particularly important right now when so many of the mechanisms for children's voices to be heard are lost during the current crisis. See if you can guess the article number it refers to, as you journey through the Powerpoint.
Enjoy exploring children’s rights and have a go at the activities included. We would love to see some of your good ideas!
Feel free to try some meditation along the way, too!
Regards,
Mrs Gupta
RRSA lead.
It has been tough trying to sort out the logistics to support children who are entitled to a free school meal.
This week, FSM children will receive a voucher each via a company called Wonde Ltd. This voucher will also cover free school meals until the end of the Easter two week holidays.
After the holiday, the national scheme begins and this is organised by the Department for Education and will be delivered by Edenred. The child will receive a weekly amount of £15 that can be used when purchasing your shopping in person/on line depending on the supermarket.
**Many parents have made late applications for FSM, so there may be a distruption in how this works for them. It should have no bearing on them receiving funding from 20th April 2020 through the national scheme.
**This scheme is NOT for universal meals (the infant free meals scheme) it is only for free school meal qualifying children/families.
