Food in School
Times
Lunchtime is staggered across the year groups from 12:00 and 1:15pm
Children may have a school meal or packed lunch on a daily basis.
School Meals
Under the current government scheme, all children in Years R – 2 are entitled to free school meals.
Meal registers for all children in Year Reception - 6 are taken daily rather than in advance, as we know that plans can change. This allows your child/ren to have as few or as many school meals within a week as they choose, often depending on the daily menu choice. (see links below for the current menu and special day menus)
Children in Pre-school do however need to pre-book the meals in advance each week.
The cost of meals for children in Preschool and year 3 – 6 is currently £2.90 per day and payment must be made in advance of meals being taken.
Payment is acceptable by credit/debit card via our online payment system, School Comms. Please download the app to your preferred device f you haven't registered with School Comms using the School Gateway app.
You will be able to check the balance of your child’s account on School Comms or by request at the school office. Please check the account regularly to keep the account in credit.

School milk
Children are currently entitled to free milk in school if they are less than 5 years old. If you would like your child to have free milk please register with our supplier, Cool Milk, via their website www.coolmilk.com Older children may also have milk in school but it will not be free. If you would like your older child to have milk you will also need to register with Cool Milk via their website.
If your child receives Pupil Premium Free School Meals they are entitled to receive milk for free also. Please contact the school office in this instance to sign up.
