School meals

We are lucky to have an excellant Catering Team who strive to meet the children's tastes, whilst offering a healthy diet. 

We would encourage you to complete the Free School Meal form at the bottom of this page even if you would prefer to send your child in with a packed lunch as, without this form we will not receive the pupil premium funding to which your child is entitled.

Free School Meals


From September 2014, all children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 can receive school meals at no cost to you. This is a universal entitlement for all infant aged children. 

In addition, Free School Meals are available to pupils in recepit of or whose parents are in receipt of, one or more of the following:

  • Universal Credit (Provided you have an annual net earned income of no more that £7,400 as asseseed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
  • 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 guarantee element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (Provided you are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more that £16,190)
  • Working Tax Credit run-on - Paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit.

Pupil premium is extra money for the school, provided by the government, which enables us to support your child’s progress and attainment. You can find out how we spend this money by reading our Pupil Premium Statement in the ‘Evaluations’ page.
