Sun Hats, Sunscreen & Water Bottles
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013
Now the weather is picking up, can we please remind parents that all children need to come to school with a sun hat and a water bottle every day.
Also, if you wish please send in a bottle of sun cream clearly labelled with the child’s name, please note that it will be the child’s responsibility to apply the sun screen.
Many thanks!

School Meal Meat Supplies
Thursday, February 28th, 2013
Please find below a letter from our school meals provider concerning meat supplies.
MEAT CONTAMINATION UPDATE
Following the recent revelations concerning contamination of meat products, Facilities Management would like to provide reassurance that the meat used in producing our school meals is supplied in accordance with the highest standards of traceability and quality assurance. This update applies to all schools that use F.M to provide the school meals.
We can confirm that our suppliers are not implicated in any of the issues uncovered and that they undergo regular and routine independent inspection.
Our fresh meat butcher has confirmed that all meats supplied are procured, prepared and delivered with full traceability and testing.
All meat is procured from approved licensed abattoirs and cutting plants in accordance with traceability and supplier approval procedures. The company’s due diligence and BRC accreditation ensures that all traceability records are held on file for a period of 12 months.
F.M have also been awarded the Food for Life Catering Mark. In order to achieve this Catering Mark F.M must demonstrate that our suppliers supply produce sourced from ethical, environmentally friendly, and sustainable producers whilst also championing local meat producers. Suppliers must also show the meats traceability back to the farm.
Facilities Management do not purchase ready made meals, pies, or puddings. Over 80% of food produced in kitchens is made from scratch. Exceptions are fish fingers and coated chicken products. Your kitchen has quality assurance monitored on a regular basis to ensure menus, procurement and safety standards are being achieved and menus are meeting the Nutritional standards.
Yours sincerely
Joe Hunt
Divisional Manager Catering and Cleaning
