How Much Does a School Meal Cost?
As per Government guidelines, all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal (UIFSM) and we strongly encourage all parents to take up this provision.
For children in Nursery, a school meal currently costs £2.60.

Please speak to our helpful team in the school office.
Packed Lunches
If your child will be bringing in a packed lunch, we ask that you support us in encouraging healthy eating habits and do not include fizzy drinks, sweets or chocolate bars and no glass bottles. For healthy lunch ideas please see Lunchbox ideas and recipes – Healthier Families - NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Please remember - to ensure the safety of children with nut and seed allergies, please carefully check packaging for ingredients and do not send nuts/seeds or food containing nuts/seeds into school.
Fruit and Vegetable Scheme
The school takes part in the ‘Fruit and Vegetable Scheme’ which enables each child to have a piece of fruit or vegetable each day, free of any charge. We receive fresh deliveries every couple of days and these are distributed to children to eat during their break/snack time.
Cool Milk
We are a 'Cool Milk' school - register your child today to receive free and subsidised school milk.
Water
Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle into school each day, which can be refilled from our drinking water taps. Please make sure that water bottles are clearly named.
