From April 15th, 2024, our meals moved to a new provider and meals are provided by Southwest Norse and made at Portesham Primary Academy another of our trust schools located just over the border in Dorset. Claire and her team are very excited at this new opportunity, and we have now welcomed Lisa Morrison our new kitchen assistant to the team.
