Community Room

We invite parents and carers to make use of our community room and meet with other parents and carers to enjoy a cuppa and a chat.

Food Pantry

Oldcastle Primary, in partnership with Baobab Bach, supporting the community with weekly groceries.

The school is very keen to act as a hub and provide reduced cost food bags to residents who may be struggling with the rising cost of food items. Baobab Bach is an established organisation working with local organisations and volunteers to build and help sustain community pantries that provide a helping hand to those that need it. The organisation aims to promote good mental health, support the environment and eradicate food poverty. 

Baobab Bach provides surplus supermarket food and parents can pop into our community room and fill a bag for £5. 

To purchase a bag, participants should be a member of the Baobab Bach pantry scheme which costs £1 for life.  Membership cards are available from Oldcastle Primary School.  

We are also asking parents who may be able to donate food and toiletries to us for distribution via our food pantry.  We ask for donations of tinned, packaged, long life food or any toiletries.  If you are able to donate please drop the items into main reception.
