Plus tuck shop at break time
The tuck shop is run daily at break time (11:00) the food is supplied by HC3S. We charge 30p per item, the children pay on the day and the money goes straight to HC3S and is banked by them.
The tuck shop food is a healthy snack of, for example, a baked cheese or plain bread roll, pizza slice, a piece of fruit or on Fridays an organic apple ice lolly.
Since COVID we have not run the tuck shop for health and safety reasons.
