St. Edward’s CE Primary School

St Edwards C of E Primary School

Well done to our kitchen staff who, for the 2nd year running, have successfully gained the Food for Life Bronze Aware. This means that the menus are over 75% homemade, our eggs are free range, our fish products are MSC sourced and all our meat is Red Tractor Farm Assured.

Harvest Festival

This year’s Harvest Festival is next Tuesday 8 October at St. Martin’s Church at 2pm. We will be leaving school at 1.30pm if any parents would like to walk up to church with us. This year we are collecting non-perishable goods such as tins, packet foods, etc. They are always short of things like long-life milk, fruit juices, pasta sauces, tins of meat and tins of fruit. We are now collecting donations which will go to the Rochdale Foodbank for distribution in the local area. We would be very grateful for your support. Thank you.
