ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are currently eligible to receive Universal Free School meals.  Some older children are also entitled to free school meals. Children who are not entitled to Free School meals may still purchase a school lunch.

Entitlement to Free school Meals

Free school meals are available to pupils in receipt of, or whose parents are in receipt of,

  • Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than
    £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment
    periods)
  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guarantee element of Pension Credit

    Working Tax Credit

Please ask at the school office if you think your child is entitled to free school meals and we can run an eligibility check for you.

Menus

Children may choose to bring lunch from home.  Lunch boxes and flasks should be clearly marked with the child’s name and class.  Parents should aim for a packed lunch to be healthy in order to provide children with a balanced diet.  A balanced diet is about eating lots of different foods to get the nutrients you need, and it’s sometimes hard to get that variety into children’s lunchboxes.
