School Meals
Meals are freshly prepared on the school premises. Two menus are offered across the year, on a three-week rotation. Each day there are three main course choices and two dessert options. Each meal is developed to ensure the right amount of protein, carbohydrates, fruit, and vegetables are available while avoiding confectionary and artificially sweetened drinks, with limits on the fat, salt, and sugar content in each meal.
The good news is if your child or children attend an infant school or infant class from Reception to Year 2 (KS1) then school meals will be free to them under the government Universal Infant Free School Meal Scheme.
School meals cost £3.08 per day.
Don’t forget that if your child has a medical dietary requirement (supported by a Medical Practitioner) then this can be provided for.
If you would like to change your child’s lunch arrangements (packed lunch to school meal vice versa) please contact the main office. We require two weeks notice. Lunches can be chosen be children at the start of the day or parents/carers can choose their child’s meal option through Arbour. Please see copies of the menu below which start on June 1st 2026.

Packed Lunch Information
We expect packed lunches to reflect the requirement of schools to meet minimum food and nutrition standards for school meals. We expect packed lunches to be nutritionally balanced – please see guidance below:
Free School Meals
Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.
Your child may also get free school meals if you get any of these benefits and your child is both:
- Younger than the compulsory age for starting school
- In full-time education
