Free School Meals Holiday Vouchers
Devon County Council are again supporting families of students who currently receive free school meals during term time, by providing supermarket vouchers to help buy food during the Christmas Holiday 2025 and February Half Term 2026. The school has emailed parents/carers of eligible students with individual codes for each child receiving FSM – the codes can then be redeemed for supermarket vouchers. If you have not received a voucher and think you should have, please contact finance@uffculmeschool.bep.ac before the end of term.
More information about the voucher scheme and other support that is available to families can be seen on the school website at
Support for Families — Uffculme School (bep.ac)
Coats4Calais
Our Interact Committee has launched its Coats4Calais campaign in assemblies this week. We are again collecting items for those who have lost everything, as part of our Spreading Kindness message. If you are having a clear out in the run up to (or after) Christmas, please send in your unwanted coats, backpacks or small tents, as well as new toiletries, gloves and hats. The collection point for students to bring items will be the office next to the staffroom. We will be collecting until mid January. Thank you.
