School Meals
School lunches and Free School Meals
During lunchtimes, the mid-day supervisors and Teaching Assistant have responsibility for the children. If children stay at school for lunch, we expect them to behave and to co-operate with the staff.
If a child is naughty or rude, we contact parents to discuss their behaviour. If this behaviour persists, we may have to send him/her home for lunch.
School lunches are cooked on-site; vegetarian and Halal dishes are provided for those children who need them.
Dinner menus change on a weekly basis in a 3-week cycle. To see the options for children, click here.
Dinners currently cost £2.00 per day and all money needs to be paid via Arbor. Click here

The school does not make decisions about free school meals. We are notified by Welfare Benefits of those children who are entitled to free school meals. We follow their instructions. Any queries need to go directly to Benefits Service, not school.
Although school lunches will be free for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children – parents of Reception children must still fill in an application from re: free dinners. Schools receives a substantial amount of money for free school meals children in their budget. If Reception parents fill out an application form and are eligible for Free School Meals they will receive a free school jumper.
