School Meal Costs & Order
All pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a school meal 'free of charge' under the Universal Infant Free School Meal Funding. This means you only start paying for your child's school meal from Year 3.
We currently charge £2.23 per day for our school meals (for children in Key Stage 2 - Year 3/4/5/6 - only) which must be paid via Arbor.
Meals must be taken 5 days per week; your child cannot have a mixture of packed lunches and school meals. If you wish to change from packed lunches to school meals you must complete the below google form. As above this will be for at least a half term if not an entire term.
A credit will be given if your child is sick or on a school trip.

Special Dietary Meals
If your child has dietary requirements on medical or religious grounds, special meals may be ordered for her/him. Please complete the Medical Dietary Request Form if you wish a special meal to be ordered. A meal plan will need to be completed by the catering company before meals can be taken.
Packed Lunch
We encourage all children to eat school lunches.
If your child prefers to bring a packed lunch, please ensure that this contains no nuts (see No Nuts Policy below). Drinks should be in a plastic container or carton; no glass or cans of fizzy drinks should be brought into school. Please ensure that your child's lunch boxes are clearly labelled.
We offer guidance to parents/carers as to suitable healthy lunchbox choices and discuss healthy eating choices with our children.
No Nuts Policy
A severe nut allergy can be life threatening. Since we have a number of children in school who suffer from a severe nut allergy, it is essential that children who have an allergy do not come in contact with nuts and/or nut products. With this in mind, we ask all parents, carers and staff to follow our No Nuts Policy and to be particularly vigilant with pre-wrapped foods like cereal bars.
