Family Picnic 2026
Date: 13 Jul 2026
We are looking forward to welcoming families to our Family Picnic Lunch on Monday 13th July 2026. Parents are invited to join their child for lunch on the school playground from 11:45am–1:00pm.
Important Information
- To help manage numbers and ensure everyone's safety, we ask that attendance is limited to a maximum of two family members per child.
- Parents/carers should enter and leave via the rear gate, which will open at 11:45am.
- Parents who can attend will collect their child from their classroom door, as we do at the end of the school day, before finding a spot the playground.
- Please bring a picnic blanket, rug or towel to sit on.
- Children should bring their water bottle with them as they will likely eat outside – though some spaces in the hall will be available if you prefer a seat (water will be available).
- Please do not bring any fast-food / hot meals onto the school site.
- We ask that families do not share food with other children due to allergies and dietary requirements. As a nut-aware school, please do not bring any food containing nuts.
- Any food brought from home remains the responsibility of the family who has brought it and we appreciate you taking your rubbish home with you please.
School Picnic Lunch: We would like to encourage all children to still have a school meal. Donna and the team will be preparing a special picnic-style lunch box, which will include:
- Sandwich, sausage roll, slice of pizza, cookie
Children will order lunch in the usual way through their class teacher on the day.
Children Without Family Attendance: Children whose families are unable to attend will still enjoy a picnic lunch with their friends. Please send them with a small blanket or towel to sit on if possible.
Sun Safety: Please ensure your child comes to school with sun cream already applied, brings a sun hat and has a named water bottle in school.
End of Picnic: At 12:55pm, a bell will signal the end of the picnic. Children will line up with their classes in their usual places and be escorted back into school by staff ready for afternoon learning.
Parents/carers should leave promptly via the rear gate at this time. Please note that gates cannot remain open beyond the designated times for safeguarding and security reasons.
We look forward to sharing this special event with you.
