School Dinners
Children may have a school dinner, bring a packed lunch or go home for lunch. The cost of dinners is currently £2.30 per day for KS2 children. All pupils in Reception and KS1 qualify for a universal ‘free hot lunch’ under the Government initiative scheme. If you think your child/ren are entitled to Free School Meals, please call at the office for more information.

Your eligibility will be checked online, and the portal will let you know whether your child is eligible for free school meals. If your child is eligible you will receive a confirmation message, and the school will be notified directly. If you are not eligible you will be presented with a message stating this.
