Headteacher Jane Byron said: “The Marlow Diner, based at Globe Park, provided a free hot lunch last week, and this week they have donated free hot chocolate drinks to children of key workers. 

“The Marlow Thames Rotary Club provided funds to help purchase workbooks for children working at home and kindly donated novels to the school for children to read. 

“Pre-loved laptops have been a welcome donation from some Marlow families. 

“Marlow Town Council has been donating healthy fruit and vegetable boxes for weeks during the pandemic, which has made a huge difference to families, and the Prince of Wales Pub in Marlow has recently donated food for pupils’ lunches.”

She added: “We are so grateful to our amazing local community who have supported pupils, families and staff in school throughout these unprecedented times. 

“In school we are working incredibly hard to help all of our families and we are so grateful for this support which has really given us all a boost.”
