Uniform
All pupils are expected to wear uniform and the help and co-operation of parents is appreciated. It also encourages togetherness and ownership.
We believe this helps to promote a positive ethos and sense of belonging. The children are proud to wear their Netherbrook uniform.
We do not carry stock of uniform in school but our uniform can be ordered online directly from Ace Embroidery or Crested School Wear. You can also visit Crested School Wear shop located at Churchill Shopping Centre, Dudley. DY2 7BL
Notes:
No jewellery is allowed to be worn in school with the exception of a wrist watch from Year 3 onwards.
For children with pierced ears one set of plain studs may be worn, but must be removed at home before school on PE days unless children can remove them themselves. Staff are not allowed to remove ear rings.
We recommend that children with long hair have it tied back.
All clothing needs to be clearly marked with the owner’s name. The school cannot accept responsibility for any loss, or damage to, individual property.
Lost property is kept for a reasonable time. All unclaimed items will be displayed before final disposal.
Preloved Uniform
To ensure that all parents and carers are able to provide the required uniform second-hand uniforms will be made available by the school.
As a school, we ensure second-hand uniform is available to purchase at various events throughout the school year. Please keep an eye out on the weekly newsletter which will give you the dates.
School Meals
Healthy Eating
Our separate dining room caters for hot meals and sandwiches. The children can purchase meals or drinks from a range of dishes on sale each day. The choice is between three different hot dishes, salads, jacket potatoes or sandwiches.
Lunchtimes are staggered to reduce the number of children on the playground, and ensure that the children have a productive and positive lunch break.
If your child is in Reception, years one or two, you will automatically be entitled for free meals under the new 'Government Universal Infant Free School Meals' criteria. However if you do meet the criteria listed below then you will need to submit an online claim in order for your child’s school to receive Pupil Premium Fund
From 31st March 2024, Dudley Catering Services will no longer be providing school meals. Therefore, we have chosen an alternative catering company to provide school meals for Netherbrook pupils.
School lunches are booked through School Food United.
ALL school meals (even free school meals including Universal Infant Free School Meals) for children in every year group (Reception - Year 6) need to be ordered in advance using this app.
Children who pay for their meals should also pay in advance for them through the app.
The cut off time for ordering meals is 9am on the day. If your child is absent you MUST cancel their lunch or you still will be charged.
