CRC Article 24: All children have the right to nutritious food and clean water so that they can stay healthy.
Our school meals are prepared and cooked fresh on the school premises. Each day, children have a choice of a main meal or jacket potato with a variety of toppings, a dessert and a drink. The menu changes weekly over a three week period.
The current cost of a meal is increasing to £2.20 each day from 4th April and should be paid in advance on Monday morning, or the first day of the school week, via Parentpay.
Parentpay details are available from our School Office and further information is available here.
School meals are free for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

Free School Meals
We would urge parents to register their entitlement for free school meals if they are eligible to receive them. Our school receives additional funding for every child who is registered for a free school meal; this helps us to provide additional resources for the children. Even though all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will receive a free meal from September 2014, we would still ask you to register your entitlement to free meals if any of the below applies to your family.
Children are entitled to free school meals if their families receive:
- income support;
- income-based Jobseekers Allowance;
- an income-related employment and support allowance;
- support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999;
- or the guarantee element of State Pension Credit.
In addition, children are entitled to free school meals if their families receive Child Tax Credit (provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit, except for the four week ‘run-on’ period after a parent has become unemployed or reduced their hours to less than 16 hours per week), and their gross annual income is not over £16,190 (as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs).
Nursery-age pupils only qualify for a school funded free Nursery lunch if they attend all day.
Please note, that you can pick up an application form for free school meals at our School Office. Alternatively, you can print and complete a copy of the form below. If you are, or think you may be, eligible for free meals, please complete the form even if your child has a packed lunch; the school receives additional funding depending upon the number of children eligible for free school meals.

Our healthy Tuck Shop is open every morning before school. You’ll find us on the middle yard, beside the blue gate. If the weather is wet, we’ll be inside, beside the office window. We have water, fresh and dried fruit available at very reasonable prices.
Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic the Tuck Shop is not available.
