New school meal prices will come into effect for 1 January. We would again stress that pupils receiving free school meals will not be affected by the increase in school meal prices next month.
The Free School Meal Allowance will be increased to allow for the price uplift.
Come along & join us at this fun, family evening. There's lots of stalls to visit, refreshments to sample, children's activities & a special visit to Santa's Cottage.
Money raised will support Air Ambulance NI & the New Beginning Charitable Foundation.
