Next Thursday, 2nd October, is Census Day.

What is Census Day?

This is an important day for schools in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, and across the country as we have to submit data to the government. This data helps them to decide how much funding we should have next financial year. We are one of the lowest funded schools in Peterborough, and so we need to make sure we get as much funding as possible.

For every Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2 child having a school meal on that day, the school receives a year’s worth of school meals funding, which is £490 per child. If your child misses dinner on that day, we don’t receive the funding.

Census Day at OWPS

We would like every Key Stage 1 child (Foundation to Year 2) to have a school dinner on this day as it will assist the school with gaining this important funding.  

Thursday 2nd October Dinner Menu: 

Main Course: Margarita Pizza (v) or Chicken Nuggets (change to menu)

Dessert: Iced Sponge & Pink Sauce or Ice Cream from the Ice Cream Station (change to menu). Children will be able to pick their own toppings and sauces at the ice cream station.

Please contact the School Office if you have any questions or any concerns with the menu, and we will see if we can resolve them.

Thank you very much in advance for your support. 

Kind regards 

Mr Marks
