WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL - Please do NOT send any items containing nuts into school with your child (this includes nutella spread, cereal bars with nuts etc)
School meals are available and children with special dietary requirements can be catered for.
Hot meals
Meals currently cost £2.80 daily or £14 weekly. Dinner money must be paid online via ParentPay BEFORE meals are taken. We will not be ordering meals unless credit is available on your childs account. (This doesn’t apply to children in reception, year 1 or year 2 as they are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals UIFSM)
The school does not cook meals on site therefore, all dinners must be ordered during registration. If your child is late and misses registration you must provide a packed lunch for that day.
Please see below a copy of the menu

If you receive any working tax credit regardless of annual household income you will not qualify for free school meals.
If you think you qualify for free school meals then please ask for a form at the school office. We encourage parents to apply even if they do not wish their child to have a school meal because under the LA budget formula there is an increased funding for children entitled to free meals. Please ask for further details.
Packed Lunches Children can bring a packed lunch to school. This should be brought in a small lunch box or bag clearly marked with your child’s name. Fizzy drinks and sweets are not allowed.
Snacks and drinks
All children are encouraged to bring a drink (no fizzy drinks) in a refillable drinks bottle to school each day. The school has a water cooler system and bottles can be refilled during the day as needed.
Free fruit is available for all children.
