Due to recent guidance from The UK Food Standards Agency we have asked our caterers AiP to remove pasta from our menu until further information is provided. 

This has been implemented due to batches of mustard powder and flour imported to the UK from India were found to contain undeclared peanut protection. As a NUT FREE school we are taking every precaution to stay safe.

There will be a change to the menu, with either Jacket potatoes or noodles being served in place of pasta.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please collect your child on time. All staff volunteer their time for free to run a club and  prompt collection is appreciated and required. Staff often need to leave promptly to care for their own families.

The contract with our current caterers AiP comes to an end this December; AiP has been provided school meals at Dunalley Primary School since 2009. 

Over the last few weeks companies were invited to tender for the contract. We were really pleased to have had so much interest and after much deliberation have awarded the contract to DOLCE Ltd. The children were involved in the decision by scrutinising the various menus on offer, Dolce was a firm favourite.

Over the next few weeks we will be working closely with Dolce Ltd to ensure a smooth handover and will keep families informed with any relevant information.

ACTION REQUIRED FOR ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN: A form MUST be filled out for every child in school giving or declining consent.

Flu Season 2024/2025

Dear Parent/Guardian FLU VACCINATION FOR ALL SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN

(From Reception up to and including Year 11)

Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th November 2024

This year it has been confirmed that the National Flu Vaccination Programme for 2024/2025 is being offered to all school aged children from Reception up to and including Year 11.

Your child’s annual flu vaccination is now due. It is important that you consent or decline the flu vaccination as soon as possible. If you do not respond, we will contact you again to make sure that you have received the offer of vaccination.

Giving consent Please complete the consent form online (one for each child, please) using the following link ensure you use the Unique School Code below:

Flu Vaccination Consent Form (ghcimmunisations.co.uk)

Dunalley Primary School Unique Code: GC115582

This link will close at midday on the working day before the team is due to visit so please complete this as soon as possible as the team will be unable to take any consents after this point. If you are unable to access the online consent form for any reason, please contact Gloucestershire Immunisation Team on 0300 421 8140 or email: [email protected] 

We are excited to reveal our new climbing equipment on the nursery field, for use of our EYFS children.

We would ask that families do not allow their children onto this equipment during drop off and pick up times, this is for supervised use only.

You are able to access your child's attendance record on Edulink One at any time.

Log into your child's record and click ATTENDANCE.

You can then see their attendance broken down by day, month and year.  

Arriving at school on time is vital. Arriving late to school disrupts the child, their peers and teacher. Punctuality is also essential at the end of the school day and the late collection of children is taken seriously.

Our start and finish times are as follows. We expect children to be in school all day, every day:
- Children in reception, year 1 and year 2 will start school at 8.40am and finish at 3.10pm
- Children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will start school at 8.45am and finish at 3.15pm

Children arriving at school after 8.50am, via the school office, will be registered as Absent due to Lateness, as we expect children in class ready to learn at this time.

We believe we have added, changed and updated all of our pupil information.

If you do not receive emails from us or have not received login details for Edulink One, please email [email protected] with your name, child's name and personal email address.

Please log onto Edulink One and check your and your child(ren)s data held by school.  

It is essential that all contact numbers, addresses and pupil information, including contacts and consents are correct.  If it is correct you do not have to do anything, just update us if anything changes.
