School Meals

Reception to Year 2 - Universal Free School Meals

The government provide free school meals for all Key Stage 1 children.

 

Years 3 to 6

School dinners should be paid for using the online payment system within Parent Mail.

If your child wishes to change to school dinners from a packed lunch or vice versa please give one weeks’ notice. 


We are a healthy school and we encourage the children to taste a selection of fruit and vegetables that they might not have been tried before. Each meal is accompanied with a selection of vegetables and/or fresh salad.
