To The Parents / Carers of all pupils attending Newport Schools
who are entitled to Free School Meals
23rd April 2020
Dear Parent / Carer
Free School Meal Provision from 27th April 2020
Following their recent announcement regarding school closures as part of the ongoing response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Welsh Government confirmed that Local Authorities should continue to arrange to provide free school meals to eligible pupils. Since 23rd March, this provision has been by way of initially a daily packed lunch and more recently a weekly packed lunch parcel.
From Monday 27th April 2020, this provision will change, and instead the families of eligible pupils will now receive a fortnightly supermarket voucher to the value of £39 per child. There is no application process required; the Council will simply arrange to issue a voucher in respect of each child who is eligible for this benefit. Vouchers are redeemable in all branches of Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco and will be sent to you by email. The first of these fortnightly vouchers will be issued around the middle of next week.
Schools are currently collating their lists of eligible students and as part of this will be confirming your email address. If you do not have an email address, your voucher will be sent to your child’s school from where you can arrange to collect it.
A company called iCom is supporting the purchase and distribution of these vouchers. When you receive your email from iCom, they will also provide details around how the voucher should be activated and redeemed.
Please note it is intended that parents / carers use these vouchers for the benefit of their free school meal eligible children, and therefore they cannot be redeemed against the purchase of fuel, tobacco or alcohol.
I hope you find these vouchers to be a positive step forward, and wish you and your families well in these difficult and challenging times.
Yours sincerely

A Message for all pupils from Mrs Guy
Fri 10 Apr 2020A message from Mrs Guy to all pupils.
Hello
I hope you are all well and are being well behaved for your families at home. I know this is a very difficult time at the moment and you must be missing your friends and your school family but I want you to know that I miss you all too and I’m hoping that it won’t be too long before we’re all back together again.
I am extremely proud of our staff as they are all working hard at home to keep providing you with activities and also making resources, engaging in online training and boosting each other’s morale!
‘Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.’
Stay safe everyone and let’s all look after each other
Mrs Guy

Update about Malpas Court Hub over Easter Holidays
Wed 01 Apr 2020March 31st 2020
EMERGENCY KEY WORKER CHILDCARE- EASTER BREAK
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are very mindful of the fact that all the key workers who have been accessing our emergency childcare will want to know what is happening over the Easter period.
All partner schools supporting the Monnow Hub and Malpas Court Hub will continue to provide the emergency childcare as we have been doing over the last week or so. If your child has already been accessing our provision, you DO NOT need to re-apply for a place. However, it would be useful if you could let your school know when you are likely to be using the provision over the Easter break so that suitable staffing arrangements can be put in place.
If you have not yet accessed the provision and you think you may be eligible as a key worker, please see the NCC website for full details and the application process.
http://www.newport.gov.uk/en/Schools-Education/Childcare-for-prioritised-key-workers.aspx
All staff across the cluster of schools have been doing a sterling job, whether it has been looking after children, organising free school meals or providing learning materials. In order for staff to have a break, distance learning for all schools listed below will stop for two weeks commencing Monday 6th April 2020. It will resume on Monday 20th April.
Many thanks to all our families during this very difficult time – your patience and understanding has been very much appreciated.
Take care.
Kind regards,
Malpas Court and Monnow Emergency Hub Co-ordinators
