The P&C and FOOSHC team apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your support and understanding at this difficult time.

There’s thousands of things about FOOSHC that we’d love you to know about, however for the sake of brevity, we’ve whittled the most important bits of information into 10 points.

Flexischools will also be closed during the week and no lunch orders will be accepted.

We’ll be back next term, as delicious and healthy as ever!
