Useful Information

Uniform

We believe that the wearing of a school uniform enables children to identify with their school, gives a sense of belonging, is practical and smart, reinforces a positive work ethos and reduces expenditure for parents/carers.

We have looked carefully at the school uniform and want to give parents the choice to have have badged / non-badged items, whilst still retaining our distinctive identity as a school community. We recognise that there are variations in school uniform available from high street retailers and that our parents and carers want to support us with upholding our uniform guidelines.

Please do not purchase uniform that does not follow our guidelines.

Please ensure that all your child’s belongings are named. We do not have a dedicated lost property area. ‘Lost’ items are checked for names and are returned to the pupil.

School Meals

School menus are run on a termly basis, with a three week rotation. The menus are published below. We charge £2.40 per meal and this should be paid in advance. There are NO universal free school meals in Overchurch Junior School. Please follow the link below for information on eligibility for Free School Meals.

Advance notice is not needed to have a school dinner, children choose what they would like for dinner each day.

If you provide your child with a packed lunch please remember that we are a healthy eating school and a nut aware school. We therefore ask parents to avoid sending in any nut based foods into the school to reduce the risk of serious allergic reactions.
