CHANGES TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF FREE SCHOOL MEALS
Vouchers for use in supermarkets will not be provided by the Welsh Government, as has been mentioned as a possibility. Instead, each Local Authority is expected to provide a local solution.
From Monday the 27/04/20, we will be providing a weekly food pack for packed lunches (which will include food you can prepare for everyday lunch e.g. a loaf of bread, a tin of tuna, ham, cheese, crisps, biscuits etc…) for all pupils that are eligible for FSM.
We are offering to deliver these on the Monday of each week. If you want to receive a weekly food pack for packed lunches, then fill in this questionnaire for every child from Bryn Tawe you wish to apply for: https://bit.ly/DosbPYD-FSMSdelivery .
If you already receive packs from us, you do not need to complete the questionnaire again.

PPE Visors
Great to see some of the staff in school producing some PPE visors for our health care workers – over 150 produced today!
If you are a parent who works in the care sector and would benefit from using a visor in your daily work, or know of workers in our community who could benefit, then contact us at school to arrange collection or delivery. See the pictures below:
