1 day agoWe are bidding for a cash boost from the Tesco Stronger Starts scheme. Stronger Starts provides grant awards of up to £1,500 to local community projects, with a particular focus on children and young people. Three groups in every community have been shortlisted to receive grant awards and Tesco customers can vote for the group they think should take away the top award in their local Tesco store. The Priory Witham Academy is one of the groups on the shortlist in Lincoln. We are requesting funding for outdoor play equipment for nursery and primary pupils to increase the physical and emotional wellbeing of children, helping to lower anxiety and boost self-esteem. Voting is open in all Tesco stores from Mid-January to the end of March 2025. Customers will cast their vote using a blue token given to them at the check-out each time they shop. Please help us raise money for outdoor play equipment and vote for us!

If your child has a food allergy, such as lactose or gluten intolerance, the menu will be adapted to meet their dietary requirements. If you have already ordered your child a hot meal on ParentPay for this day, you will not have to do anything as this will be replaced with the new themed lunch. If you would like to order this meal, please email generalenquiries@priorywitham.co.uk. We look forward to celebrating this special day with a delightful meal!
