Our school meals are prepared and cooked fresh on the school premises. Each day children have a choice of two main meals or jacket potato and two desserts plus a drink; fresh fruit and salad is always available. The menu changes each week over a three week period.
The current cost of a meal is £2.10 each day which should be paid in advance on Monday morning (or the first day of the school week) via Parentpay (log in details available from the main school office) and further information available here.
School meals are free for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

Free School Meals
We would urge urge parents to register their entitlement for free meals if they are entitled 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 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 help if they receive education both before and after the lunch period.
Please note, that you can pick up an application form for free school meals at your youngest child’s school which can be used for all your children. Alternatively you can also 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 meals.
You can download the application for free school meals by clicking the link below:

Please remember, completed school meal forms need to be returned to the school of your youngest child.
School Milk
Children under 5 years of age are entitled to free school milk and older children, not receiving free meals (see below for free milk information), can enjoy subsidised fresh milk; an order form can be downloaded below:
