• Apply for Free School Meals

  Mon 25 Sep 2023

  School Funding 

  As a school we are trying to increase the free school meal uptake, sometimes parents fear the application process will be too lengthy, difficult or intrusive. We have invested in a system (OFSM) that will take you five minutes to complete or if you would prefer we can apply on your behalf. To do this, we would need your permission and three pieces of information (your national insurance number, date of birth and email address). Schools are immediately alerted on receipt of new applications.

   

  If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and is already in receipt of Universal Free School Meals, it is still important that you register through this portal as it will help to maximise the funding we receive as a school.

• Strike Action Information - 15th & 16th March 2023

  Mon 13 Mar 2023

  What will happen at the school during the strike?

  At the time of writing, following our discussions with Trust leaders and having completed a risk assessment, we can confirm that Westcliff Primary Academy is able to remain open to all year groups, however this will likely be non-curriculum-based activities in some instances. We have more staff taking industrial action this week and therefore your child’s class may not have a teacher available to deliver the curriculum. You will be notified of this on the day and non-curriculum-based activities will be provided.

  As the school is currently planning on being open, it is a requirement that parents/carers send their child to school as the Department for Education expects all school-registered children of compulsory school age to be in attendance on school opening days.

  Measures have been taken to assure the safety of pupils both in class and during break periods. Classes affected will be supervised by members of the school leadership team or cover supervisors in the first instance; these staff are fulfilling roles they would usually occupy during staff absence. We intend to teach the curriculum as normal, however additional confirmed absence may result in non-curriculum-based alternatives, we will confirm if this is the case.

  This is the current situation at the time of writing, however, this may change over the coming days. I will communicate any further changes if this occurs.
