School Dinners

🍽️ Lunchtime and School Meals

At our school, we have a special Family Service lunchtime. This means children sit together and enjoy their meals while learning about good manners and social skills. Children choose their meal during morning registration. We recommend that you look at the menu with your child(ren) so that they are aware of what they have to choose from.

🥪 Free School Meals

Children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 can get free school meals through the Universal Free School Meals Scheme.

If your family receives help like Income Support or Job Seekers Allowance, your child may also get free meals. If you're not sure how to apply, please speak to the school office — we’re happy to help.

Even if your child brings a packed lunch or goes home for lunch, we still encourage you to apply for free meals. This helps the school get extra funding to support all children.

💳 Paying for School Meals

If you pay for school meals, please use the My Child at School App. If you need help setting it up, just ask at the school office.

Meals should be paid for by Monday morning each week. You can also pay for more than one week at a time.
The current cost is £2.50 per day.
