School Lunches
Our school meals are prepared on the school premises by a catering team from CATERed.
A copy of the school menu is sent out to parents. A copy of most recent menu can be found below.
The daily sandwich choices for this term are as follows:
Monday – Cheese Sandwich
Tuesday – Egg Mayo Roll
Wednesday – Tuna Mayo Wrap
Thursday – Ham Sandwich
Friday – Chicken Mayo Wrap
We aim to provide a varied, balanced meal with a choice of four main courses including vegetables and salad. Yoghurt and fruit or a sweet are also available each day. A drink of milk or water are provide for the children with their meal.
Payment for a school meal in KS2 (Years 3 to 6) will rise to £2.75 per meal per day. Payment is required through the Teachers to Parents School Money system at www.schoolmoney.co.uk. Parents can pay online or at a Pay Point - please contact the office if you require further details. Please note the school office does not accept cash payments.
We ask that wherever possible parents book their child's lunch on school money, even if they are having a packed lunch. This speeds up the process and ensures you know what choice your child is having at lunchtime.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS
Since September 2014 all pupils in KS1 (Foundation, Year 1 and 2) are provided with a free cooked school lunch. These meals are healthy and tasty, and we encourage parents to take advantage of this initiative which saves them £14 a week. Parents and guardians are still, however, encouraged to apply for free school meals when they enrol their child in school if they are entitled, as this can help their child’s school to attract additional ‘pupil premium‘ funding to support learning.
From Year 3 onwards, children whose parents are in receipt of the following are entitled to free school meals:
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- 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 with an annual income of less than £7,400
Children who receive any of the above benefits in their own right (i.e. they get benefits payments directly, instead of through a parent or guardian) can also get free school meals.
Children in School-Based Nursery
Children aged 2,3 or 4 may be eligible for free school meals if their parents or carers receive any qualifying benefits. The qualifying benefits are the same as for children in school year 3 and above. The child will need to attend a school based nursery in both the morning and afternoon.
