School Lunches
Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own
School Meals
We provide nutritious and healthy school meals which are cooked onsite and have a range of options each day including jacket potatoes, a picnic lunch, a hot meal choice and pasta dish. You can order these via our easy to use ParentPay app.
Our school meals are cooked at our partner school, Duchy of Lancaster Primary School, and they provide a well-balanced, wholesome and good value meal. The price of a school lunch is currently £2.41 per day. Please order and pay for your child's lunch using ParentPay.
Free School Meals
Currently all children in Year R, 1 & 2 can receive a 'universal infant' free school meal due to current government policy. However, we still need you to let us know if you meet the requirements for a traditional free school meal because you are on benefits etc. as the school receives funding which can support the work we do across the school. If you have questions or are not sure if you qualify please speak with staff in the office who will handle your query in confidence.
Criteria For Free School Meals
You are eligible if you are in receipt of the following:
- Income Support;
- Income Based Job Seekers Allowance;
- Income Related Employment and Support Allowance;
