Free School Meal (FSM) Vouchers

         

Dear Families,

We hope this message finds you well.

We’re writing to share an important update regarding the Free School Meal voucher scheme at Springfield Academy. Due to a reduction in funding from the Household Support Fund (HSF) for the 2025/26 financial year, we regret to inform you that we will no longer be able to provide Free School Meal vouchers during school holiday periods.

We understand that this change may cause concern and could have a significant impact on many families, especially during times when children are not in school and access to meals may be more limited. Please know that this decision was not made lightly. We deeply recognise the challenges this may present and remain committed to supporting our families in every way we can.

We encourage you to explore support available through local community organisations and food assistance services. You may find helpful resources and information on the Nottingham City Council website:

👉 Household Support Vouchers – Nottingham City Council

If you have any questions, concerns, or need help accessing support, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. We’re here to help and will do our best to assist you during this transition.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Warm regards,

Mrs J Hill 

Head Teacher

VE DAY 80TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

We will be celebrating V E Day's 80th Anniversary on Thursday 8th May. Children will be invited to wear red, white and blue and there will be a special lunch on the day.

📚🤩 Exciting book news!! 📚🤩

Next week in school, one of our rooms will be turned into a bookshop! We have partnered with ‘The Children’s Book Project’ who have delivered boxes and boxes of beautiful books to school which are as good as new.

Your child will be given one of these bookmarks in school next week. They will have the opportunity to browse a selection of books in our school bookshop and they will then swap the token at the bottom of their bookmark for 2 books of their choice. The books they choose will be theirs to take home to keep forever and they are completely free!!

📚 If your child is in Year 3, 4, 5 or 6, they will visit the bookshop on Tuesday 6th May.

📚 If your child is in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, they will visit the bookshop on Wednesday 7th May.

📚🤩 We cannot wait to share the brilliant books we have had delivered with the children and create a buzz around reading! 📚🤩

Good morning!

A reminder that World Book Day is next week - Thursday 6th March.
