Dear Parents and Carers,
Part 1 Broadford News
Christmas Dinner
This week the kitchen have served over 600 Christmas dinners. The children enjoyed their delicious turkey with all of the trimmings in front of the roaring fire and Christmas tree in the hall. They finished their lunch with a scrumptious ice cream to the sound of their crackers!
Thank you to Michelle and the kitchen team for keeping our bellies full of festive cheer this week.
Cost of Living - A message from London Borough of Havering
Havering recognises that as the cost of living continues to rise across the country, our residents are going to be feeling the pinch this winter.
The Council’s new cost of living online hub brings together all of the support available to residents – from financial help with food and energy bills to free school holiday meals and mental health.
The website contains links to the Havering Helps assistance scheme, details of warm spaces, council tax support, debt management services, energy grants, food banks and community hubs, as well as online benefits calculators so residents can be sure they’re receiving all the support they are entitled to.
The Council will also publish details of any new support schemes, both local and national, in the Living in Havering email bulletin.
Christmas Parties
There will be Festive Parties for children in Nursery, Reception and years 1-6 on Monday 18th December. You don’t need to send in party clothes or food. The pupils can wear their school uniform but they are very welcome to bring in a festive jumper (and headwear if you have it) to wear for the occasion. We will also provide all the food for them too.
