Parent Payments
At Clifford All Saints we use Arbor as our main form of payment. Arbor is used across the full school and is accessible to parents/carers by a username and password. Arbor is used for school meal payments, payments for milk and trips and consent for trips and visits.
This is the only way we accept payment for trips, milk and school meals.
Please follow the link and use your own log in details to access all payment items: https://login.arbor.sc/
For any help logging into Arbor, please use the guide in the following link: https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020147458-Log-into-the-Parent-Portal-and-the-Parent-App#what-is-the-parent-portal--0-0
School Uniform
As a small Church School, the Governing Body feels it is important to generate a feeling of community and belonging for the children. Part of the way we feel we can do this is to increase their sense of identity by having a school uniform. This way, the children have a more immediately visible connection with the school; visible to them and to other members of the community.
The Clifford All Saints school uniform is:-
-
A navy-blue school sweatshirt, cardigan or fleece (with or without the Clifford logo)
-
A white or navy-blue plain shirt, blouse or polo shirt (with or without the Clifford logo)
-
Navy, black, grey bottoms including trousers, jogging bottoms, shorts (not hotpants or short shorts), skirt, pinafore or leggings
-
Plain navy-blue, white, black or grey socks or tights.
-
In summer blue gingham summer dresses may be worn.
-
Suitable black footwear - this should be safe, comfortable and appropriate for the season. It should not include high heels or platform shoes, flip-flops or slip-on shoes without backs or other fashion trend footwear boots that do not facilitate active play.
-
If headbands are worn, they should be relatively plain.
-
Jewellery is not allowed.
-
Smartwatches such as Gator, Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc – those devices designed to monitor children’s movements, particularly those devices able to make or receive phone calls/texts are not permitted as part of the school uniform and should therefore not be warn. This is in-keeping with the JMAT Online Safety Policy.
Clothing for PE is part of school uniform and is as follows:-
Drawstring bag (named)
P.E. KIT (Indoor use)
T shirt
Shorts in navy or black
Black plimsolls
P.E KIT (Outdoor use)
Joggers in navy or black
Trainers
The complete indoor kits are available to order on the uniform order form. For the outdoor kit you can purchase from most supermarkets.
Alternatively you can now order direct from the website via the following link:-
https://logoleisurewear.com/product-category/schools/schools-clifford-primary/
Don't forget to label your child's clothing, in fact label everything, items go missing on a daily basis!!
Please follow the link below for an easy solution to labelling that will last! School gets a percentage too!
School Lunches
Lunch time - Meals Provision
In September 2014 the Government introduced a new policy of a free meal for all infant children. This means all Infant children in school are entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal.
Junior children have the option to have a school meal at a cost of £2.60 otherwise they can have a packed lunch.
Income Based Free School Meals will still be available for families on low income levels which means school will receive maximum funding to support your child through something else called the Pupil Premium.
To find out if you are eligible please go to the Council’s Website at www.sheffield.gov.uk, if you apply and are eligible your child will also be entitled to Free Milk at break time.
School Catering Contact
Our current contract is with the School Food Service with the Local Authority. The supplier of the service is Taylor Shaw Ltd.
Menus
These are prepared by Taylor Shaw’s nutritionist twice a year on a three week cycle. These need to meet the legal standards for school food. Below is a copy of the current 3 week cycle
Medical Diet Procedure
There is a strict protocol for arranging a medical diet in order to safeguard the child as well as the staff that manage the food service. We have also attached this procedure for you if you have a child that requires a special diet.
