School Meals

Our Primary School menus are carefully developed to appeal to children and provide the perfect balance of essential nutrients – and to offer them the chance to try a few dishes they may not have tried before. The menu is on a 3 week cycle and provides a hot choice (always including a jacket potatoe), salad bar and sandwich option. We always offer a vegetarian option and a selection of desserts. We pride ourselves in ensuring all children enjoy a delicious, filling meal each day at school.  We also have special theme days built into the school year. We cater for allergies and intolerances. Kitchen staff are experienced in ensuring all pupils are fully included in our mealtimes. Please contact school for any additional information or questions.

School Meals must be paid for in advance. Payment in arrears is not permitted. This can be done via topping up your child’s account in Arbor. School meals are currently £14.25 per week or £2.85 per day.

Free School Meals

Every child in reception, year 1 and year 2 classes is now entitled to a free school meal under the government’s universal infant free school meal scheme. This is not means-tested. 

Your children may also qualify for means-tested free school meals if you meet the following criteria: 

  • You or your partner receive child benefit (for the child you are applying for), and 
  • The child is in full time education, under 19 years of age, and 
  • The child attends a local authority school or sixth form. 

You and your partner must be in receipt of one of the following benefits: 

  • Income Support 
  • Income Based Job Seekers Allowance (JSA – IB) 
  • Guarantee Pension Credit 
  • Employment and Support Allowance (ESA Income Related) 
  • Child Tax Credit – but not Working Tax Credit – and your income for Tax Credit purposes must be less than £16,190.00 (details are shown on your Tax Credit award notice) 
  • Working Tax Credit Run-on
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 
  • Universal Credit

If you qualify for Free School Meals, it is important that you apply – even if your children are in reception, year 1 or year 2. For every valid application, we can claim extra funding for resources such as extra tuition, teaching assistants or after-school clubs. 

Children who receive a free school meal are not singled out in any way. 

If you meet the above criteria please apply online using the link below. 

Packed Lunch

If your child brings in a packed lunch, we ask parents to provide a healthy packed lunch containing:

  • sandwich 
  • fruit 
  • a biscuit 
  • drink. 

Please do not send fizzy drinks, sweets or chocolate (including chocolate covered biscuits and cakes).
