We use a 3 week rolling menu for school lunches, with a hot or cold meal option for each day.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a Universal Infant Free School Meal (UIFSM). This offer does not depend on your household income or whether you receive any benefits, every child in these year groups is eligible to take up the offer. Being entitled to UIFSM does not necessarily mean you are entitled to support available during school holidays or in the event of school closures, that support is based on whether you are eligible for FSM.
School dinners are priced at £2.00 (information below about payments) and our fresh deli-bar option is always available to children. Please see below for how to pay for school meals.
