This system will enable you to order your child’s food in advance and pay for it where appropriate.  Swift Kitchen can be downloaded as an App onto your phone or can be accessed via the following online web link app.swiftkitchen.co.uk.  The Swift Kitchen App is available for download in the Apple Store and Google Play.  Once downloaded, you will need to register and link your child/ren to the system using the key/s provided by the school. 

FREE SCHOOL MEALS

Since September 2014, all pupils in KS1 (Foundation, Year 1 and 2) have been 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.
