Please can we ask that all families access ParentPay and clear their dinner arrears.  We would appreciate your support: at the end of term NJS are liable for any arrears and this loss of money impacts on the work we can do in school with the children.

If you believe you may be entitled to Free School Meals please do make an application: https://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20028/school_meals/9/free_school_meals

Thank you in advance of your support.
