School Meals
The school kitchen is run by Mrs Irwin, our Catering Manager, along with Mrs Riley and Miss Ferguson. They are an excellent team and work hard to make sure the food offered is excellent. The kitchen runs a three-week rota (please see the menu below), and all children choose their choices with their parents in advance to ensure the children enjoy their lunches. If your child has any allergies or special dietary requirements, please ensure these are passed on to the school office. They will then be recorded and catered to by the kitchen team.
Pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive Universal Free Meals as part of a Government scheme. Once your child reaches Year 3, meals are chargeable at £3 per child; payment is made through our School Spider app.
🍎 Free School Meals – Could You Be Eligible?
From September 2026, more families may be eligible for Free School Meals, including families receiving Universal Credit.
Even if your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and already receives a free school meal, it is still important to apply if you think you may be eligible. Registering can help our school access Pupil Premium funding, which provides additional support and opportunities for eligible children.
