The School Day 

The School Day

At The Cathedral School of St Peter and St John RC all staff are committed to helping children to achieve their full potential academically, socially and emotionally. In order for children to get the greatest possible benefits from school, good attendance and punctuality is essential. Please ensure that children are in school everyday.

The school day starts at 8:45am.  Our current school week is 32.5 hours. The children need to be in school everyday and on time. Our school target is 96% for each pupil – each class and for the whole school.

Snack Time - freshly made toast and milk if ordered will be given just before 10:30am. Toast can be ordered each half term via Parentpay. 

EYFS and KS1 pupils have fruit in the afternoon provided by the national fruit scheme for all children under 7 years of age.

Children under 5 are provided with a carton of milk each day. Milk is available to the other children at a small cost levied by the LA. Milk is paid for in advance, per term through the Cool Milk Scheme. 

School Dinners

Dinners can be ordered online using the School Grid System.  Dinners must be ordered in advance before 8am each morning. If you fail to order your child's meals, they will be given a basic meal of a cheese sandwich and a piece of fruit and this will be charged to your account by Citywide Catering Services. 

If you feel you may be entitled to free school meals call at the school office who will advise you on how to apply. 
School does receive extra funding for FSM children so if your child is in receipt of Universal Free School Meals because they are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 please still apply as this is different. 

Packed lunches should contain nutritional food i.e. a sandwich, piece of fruit, yoghurt, a cereal
bar biscuit.

Sweets, chocolate bars and chewing/bubble gum high fats and salt foods are not healthy and therefore not
allowed.
