• School Meals Survey

  Tue 28 Mar 2023 Mr John Howe

  School Meals Survey
  We are always looking to improve the quality of our school meals. As a result, can you take the time to complete this very short survey for us. Ideally, it would be better to find out (if you don't know already) your child's favourite dinners in school.
  This survey is for children - whether they stay for dinner or not.
