How much does a school meal cost and what’s included?
There has long been a positive association between learning outcomes and nutrition.
School meals are FREE for all Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils, regardless of household income (a saving of over £480). This entitles your child to a balanced main course, dessert and access to a salad bar.
If your child is in Year 3 or above, the cost per meal is £2.80 from September 2024.
Your child may be entitled to a Free School Meal, please speak in confidence to a member of the School Office.
The document below gives details of the current menu.
In addition to the published meal choices there will also be an option of a jacket potato, the topping for this will change on a daily basis. The meals available will be published on our website and will be on display on the door to reception to enable you to see what your child will be having on a weekly basis. The main option which is primarily, though not exclusively, meat based will be the “red” option, there will be a daily vegetarian option which will be “green” and the jacket potato option will be “yellow”, with fillings each day as follows:
Monday - baked beans
Tuesday - Cheese
Wednesday - Tuna mayo
Thursday - Cheese
Friday - Beans and cheese
Children are allowed to choose their option on a daily basis. At morning registration, all children will be advised what the meal choices are for that day and will be provided with a coloured wristband to reflect their choice. At lunchtime, they return the band when they are given their food. If you do happen to find that your child has come home with a wrist band, please could you hand it in to the office.
We ask that the children make healthy choices with their packed lunch so please do not include chocolate, sweets or fizzy drinks. As we have children with nut allergies we also ask that no nut products be included or sandwich fillings, for example peanut butter or chocolate spread.
