School meals and snacks

Good food provision in schools leads not only to healthier children but to improved attainment. We hope our plan of improvements will help to create a generation of children who enjoy food that makes them healthier, more successful and, most importantly, happier.

Fruit & Milk

Children in Nursery receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable snack and a small bottle of milk each day.

Children in Reception receive a free fruit or vegetable snack each day and can also have a small bottle of milk at a cost per term. Price depends on the amount of days in the term.

Children in Key Stage 1 receive a free fruit or vegetable snack each day and can also have a small bottle of milk for a cost per term.

Children in Key Stage 2 can also have a small bottle of milk at a cost per term. 

If you wish your Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 child to have milk, you should contact the school office.

Water

Water is available throughout the day and we encourage all children to stay well hydrated. We ask that all children bring a water bottle which is named and clearly recognisable by your child. This should only contain water.

School Lunch

Costs £2.66 a day, which is £13.30 for the week and should be paid at the start of the week, through ParentPay. If lunch monies are in debt over a weeks monies, you will be informed to send a packed lunch for your child until the debt is settled.

Free school meals

From September 2026, all households receiving Universal Credit will qualify for Free School Meals.
This change also includes children in school-based Early Years settings.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to universal free school meals however, if you are in receipt of certain benefits or your income is below a certain amount, you could be entitled to additional help. To find out if you qualify please click here. 

Children can get free school meals, if their parents or guardians get:

• Universal Credit income below £7,400.00.
  • As well as Free School Meals, these pupils will still bring pupil premium and other disadvantage funding to their school now known as Targeted Qualifying Criteria.
• Universal Credit income above £7,400.00.
  • These pupils will be entitled to Free School Meals only, known as Expanded Qualifying Criteria.
• Income Support
• Job Seeker's Allowance (income based)
• Employment and Support Allowance
• Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit
• Support payments under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

Once your child starts Year 3, you must pay for school meals unless you qualify for free school meals. To see if you qualify click here. 

If you are entitled to means tested free school meals you will also receive the following help from the school:

• A free branded school sweatshirt or cardigan each September

* This support is reviewed annually and is in place for the academic year 2026-2027 but is subject to change.

If your child has any special dietary requirements or allergies we will do our best to provide a meal each day. Please contact the Pastoral Team to discuss this.
