School Lunches

All children in Years R, 1 and 2 are entitled to a Free School Meal as part of the government's Universal Free School Meal initiative.

Other children may be eligible to receive Free School Meals through entitlement because of benefits the parent is receiving.  Please check with the office if you are unsure - by claiming Free School Meals you are not only ensuring your child gets the meal they are entitled to but also helping the school get the maximum amount of funding to help with your child's learning. 

Our school meals are cooked on the premises by our own catering team, which is led by our Catering Manager, Mrs Tracey Cook.  The menus are checked to ensure we meet the government's Food Standards Regulations and we offer your child a nutritious and delicious menu choice every day.

The price of a paid dinner is £2.10
