Community Pantry

At Victoria Primary Academy, we believe that our school is the heart of the community. We know that supporting our students means supporting their families, which is why we are incredibly proud to offer our weekly Community Pantry. We want to ensure that every family in our community feels supported, valued, and cared for, whether you need a little extra help with the weekly shop or just want to make use of the fresh food, toiletries and staples we have available.

Our Community Pantry is a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where parents and carers can come and collect food for their households. The pantry is completely free and open to all Victoria Primary Academy families. You can drop by every Thursday from 2:00 PM onwards, and there is no need to sign up in advance or fill out any forms—simply come in and take what you need.

We also understand that emergencies don’t just happen on Thursdays. If your family is facing a challenging time or you find yourself needing urgent support during the rest of the week, please know that you are never alone. Our dedicated pastoral team is always on hand to help. Feel free to come in and speak to us, give the school office a call, or send us an email, knowing that any conversations will be treated with the utmost kindness and confidentiality. We are proud of our community, and we are proud to stand with you.
