You can also book by emailing stjosephspreschoolunit@gmail.com.
Lunches
Some of our children are enjoying their lunch in the school hall each day as part of their transition to School in September. If your child has a packed lunch please remember that sweets and chocolate bars are not permitted or any nut products as a child in the Pre-School has an allergy, these items will be removed from your child's lunch box prior to lunch. If you would like to book hot School lunches for your child you will firstly need to obtain a code from the School office, you will then be able to book and pay for any lunches in advance.
Book Bags
Books can be exchanged as little or often as you wish depending on how much your child is enjoying the book they have been given. Books are for enjoying at home with an adult.
