School Lunches – Our return back to school this week saw the kitchen serve 80-90 additional lunches per day than were booked/paid for on School Spider. This put the kitchen under considerable pressure and places us under additional financial strain. You may find invoices in your basket on School Spider for these lunches. Please can you ensure that your child’s lunches are booked and paid for before they are served lunch. If your circumstances have changed and you would like to enquire about free school meals (Y3-Y6) Please head to our website for more information; https://www.st-stephens.richmond.sch.uk/page/school-meals-food-drink-initiatives/124131

RUGBY GIRLS SCOOP A SILVER AT THE SWITCH FESTIVAL
Losing by just one try in the final, our Year Five and Six girls brought home second place glory after competing in the recent Switch Girls' Rugby tournament at the Stoop. Mr Downes was very proud of the squad and told us: "The girls played really well throughout the tournament and showed great determination and sportsmanship. Getting to the finals was a real achievement and we lost by the narrowest of margins." Many thanks to Coaches Downes and Dale for taking the squad. Also playing was Year Six's Mara.
