(The Seventh Sunday of Easter - Year A)

Jesus Prays for His Followers

After Jesus said these things he looked toward heaven. Jesus prayed,

“Father, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that the Son can give glory to you. You gave the Son power over all people so that the Son could give eternal life to all those people you have given to him. And this is eternal life: that men can know you, the only true God, and that men can know Jesus Christ, the One you sent. I finished the work you gave me to do. I brought you glory on earth. And now, Father, give me glory with you. Give me the glory I had with you before the world was made.

“You gave me some men from the world. I have shown them what you are like. Those men belonged to you, and you gave them to me. They have obeyed your teaching. Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. I gave these men the teachings that you gave me. They accepted those teachings. They know that I truly came from you. I pray for them now. I am not praying for the people in the world. But I am praying for those men you gave me, because they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And my glory is shown through these men. Now I am coming to you. I will not stay in the world now. But these men are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe. Keep them safe by the power of your name (the name you gave me), so that they will be one, the same as you and I are one.

John 17:1-11

Thank you for all your support during these current difficult times. While we pride ourselves on being prepared for most eventualities the current situation has shown us that we need to continue the switch from paper to online information gathering at an increased pace.

To do this we will be sending you a series of emails and messages to gather essential information from you, to ensure that your children are kept safe and your wishes regarding consent are adhered to.

So to begin we would like to ask you to complete the attached Medical Information Form available on the following link:

There has been much confusion over the distribution of the Free School Meal vouchers. This has mainly arisen because of two factors:

1. All children in Infants (Reception and Years 1 & 2) have their meals at school paid for by the Government as part of the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme (UIFSM).
2. The London Borough of Newham have taken the decision to cover the cost of school meals as a policy to ensure all children are able to access a nutritious meal every school day, known as 'Eat for Free'.

However, neither UIFSM nor Eat for Free are used to determine whether a child is entitled to Free School Meals (FSM). The only way to determine whether your child is entitled to FSMs is to log on to the Newham website and apply for FSM individually. The school has no say in the decision or your eligibility.

To see if your child qualifies for FSM please follow the link below:

https://newham-self.achieveservice.com/service/Application_for_Free_School_Meals

Once your child has been accepted onto the FSM scheme by the borough, we will receive an email which will allow us to apply for the FSM vouchers for you.

We have also been notified that the vouchers may take three or four days to come through after you have received notification so please try to remain patient if they do not come through immediately. If after a few days the vouchers have not come through please contact the school.
