Our school meals are provided by Caterlink and the meals are cooked on the premises by our school cook, Leanne Alford. The cost for a child's meal is £2.40 per day. Payment should be made via ParentPay. Pupils may choose a meat, vegetarian or jacket potato option. Caterlink's latest menu is available to download via the link below.
Children in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school meals under the Universal Free School Meals scheme.
From September 2014 all children who are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 in a state-funded school will be offered a free healthy school lunch. Children in other school years will also be offered a free school lunch if their parent is receiving any of the welfare benefits listed overleaf.
Registering for free meals could raise an extra £1,300 for your child’s school, to fund valuable support like extra tuition, additional teaching staff or after school activities.
This additional money is available from central government for every child whose parent is receiving one of the welfare benefits listed in the form. It is therefore important to sign up for free school meals, even if your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, so that your child’s school receives as much funding as possible.
How the information in this form will be used:
The information you provide in this form will be used by the council to confirm receipt of one of the listed welfare benefits. Once this is confirmed, this helps to decide how much money your child’s school will receive each year.
The information will also be used in relation to children in year 3 or above to decide whether they are eligible for free school meals.
You only need to complete this form once and it will last for the duration of your child’s time at their current school.
Please follow the link to complete the form on-line.
