Lunch Information
The children can choose to have a packed lunch provided by parents or a school lunch or alternate between the two.
School meals are priced at £2.41 per day. Children in Key Stage One are entitled to a Free School Meal, as are eligible children in Key Stage Two - see below for further details.
Parent Pay
We use Parent Pay as a quick and easy way for parents to make payments to school, including for school lunches, as well as pre select meal choices from the menu. We ask that all parents use Parent Pay, even if your child has a Free School Meal, as the account is used to place the meal order. This can be done a week in advance, the night before, or the same day up to 8.00am. The office will provide you with your unique account activation information.
Packed Lunch
If you choose to provide your child with a packed lunch, please consider the following information:
- We are a Healthy Eating school. During PHSE and other lessons we discuss with the children maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with diet and exercise being crucial. A healthy and nutritious lunch is important to allow children to maintain levels of energy and concentration. Therefore packed lunches must be healthy - no fizzy drinks, sweets or chocolate bars.

School Meal
If you choose for your child to have a school meal, please consider the following information
-As part of the Governments Universal Infant Free School Meal initiative, every child in Foundation Stage and Key Stage One (Years 1 and 2) is entitled to a free school meal.* (please read footnote at the bottom of this page)
-In Key Stage Two (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) school meals cost £2.41 per day. Please use your Parent Pay account to make payments and select meals.
-Some children in Key Stage Two are entitled to a free school meal under the FSM/Pupil Premium system. To check eligibility and complete a registration form for a free meal in Key Stage Two, please click here.
-School Meals operate a three week menu cycle. Please see the menus below. At certain points during the year we offer theme days where the meal option may change.
- We use Parent Pay for parents to make payments for school meals, as well as select the menu choice for the children. Even if your child has a free school meal, we ask that you use Parent Pay for meal choices (but no payments need to be made).
If your child has any food allergies, please let the school office know
*Pupil Premium funding is money the school receives to spend on the children, in order to help their opportunities and learning. If your child is in Key Stage 1 and therefore already receives a Free School Meal, but you come under the criteria for Pupil Premium, please can we encourage you to complete the form here. This way the school will receive funding from the Government which we can use to support your child. If you require any further information, please speak to the office staff.
