Our school meals are cooked freshly in our school kitchen. Every day, we have a selection of hot options or a school based packed lunch. Our menus change termly.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are offered universal free school meals. This is regardless of your household income. We encourage all children to access our school meals everyday, there is plenty of choice and we will work with families to accommodate any allergies, intolerances, religious beliefs or other dietary needs.

You do not have to apply for universal free school meals. However, you can apply for your school to get extra funding from the government, if you receive one of the benefits list below. This extra funding is called Pupil Premium:

• Universal Credit - with an annual earned income of no more than £7,400 after tax
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for the four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
• Child Tax Credit (with no Working Tax Credit) with an annual gross income of no more than £16,190 

Children in Year 3 and above

Children in Year 3 and above only receive free school meals if you get one of the benefits listed above. You must apply for these free school meals.

Packed Lunch

Some children choose to bring a packed lunch from home. This is not necessary until children are in Year 3. We ask that lunch boxes promote healthy eating for your child with no sweets or sugary treats. We are a nut free school and no nuts or products containing nuts are allowed on site. We also ask that children do not bring drinks that are in cans or glass bottles. Fizzy drinks, hot drinks must not be brought to school.
