Lunch Arrangements 

Pupils can bring in their own packed lunch or can order a school lunch. Our food is prepared and cooked on the premises and comprises of a balanced, tasty and nutritional menu.

We request that healthy packed lunches are provided in a suitably robust, named container and that there are no fizzy drinks, sweets, chocolate or yoghurt tubes. 

Please also note that as known allergens, food containing nuts or sesame seeds should not be brought into school.

Year F, Year 1 and Year 2 Universal Free School Meals

From September 2014 all pupils in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 are eligible for FREE school meals. This is fantastic news because pilot studies have clearly shown significant benefits for children eating a proper nutritious meal in the middle of the school day.

However, families on low incomes are asked to continue to complete a confidential free school meal registration form as this information will enable our school to continue to access pupil premium funding allocated from the Government.

Please see the Eligibility Checker for Free School Meals page for full information on how to check and to apply.

Why apply if my child is in EYFS or KS1?

Pupil premium funding makes a big difference and this year we received £1320 for each pupil registered. Our school has successfully used the money to subsidise workshops for parents/carers, trips and music lessons, as well as employing a Counselling and Family Support Worker.

Please help us help your child. Please see the Eligibility Checker for Free School Meals page for full information on how to check and to apply.

KS2 Eligibility for Free School Meals

Parents of KS2 children may choose to apply to check their eligibility for Free School Meals (FSM). Children will be eligible for free school meals if their parent/carer receives one of a number of benefits.

Please see the Eligibility Checker for Free School Meals page for full information on how to check and to apply.

 

 

Special themed menus

We occasionally have themed lunch days. These have included French day, St George's Day, Children in Need and Wimbledon. On these days the menu fits the theme and the hall is decorated appropriately!
