School Meals
Hot meals are available at school every day and are cooked fresh within our kitchens. Children within Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a universal free school meal on a daily basis.
Where dinners are to be paid for, all money must be paid on Mondays in advance for the week. Dinner money should be sent to school in an envelope with your child’s name and class clearly written on it.
Your child may be able to get free school meals if you receive any of the following:
- Universal Credit
- income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.
From the start of academic year 2026 to 2027, your child will qualify for free school meals if you get Universal Credit, regardless of household income.
If your child brings a packed lunch, please ensure that the lunchbox or container is clearly marked with your child’s name and class.
As part of our pledge to be healthy, children are asked to drink water or sugar free drinks with their dinner. High sugar drinks are not allowed in school. The school follows the guidance of the School Food Trust regarding drinks in school. A copy is available on their website at: www.schoolfoodtrust.org.uk.
