School Payments and Lunches
School Meals
Packed Lunches
Children may bring a packed lunch in a lunch box/bag. This needs to be clearly labelled with the child's name and class. As we are a Healthy School we encourage fruit as part of a well-balanced meal. Nuts are not allowed due to some significant allergies in school. This includes using peanut butter and Nutella in sandwiches. Fizzy drinks are not allowed to support good dental health and because of the mess they can make.
School Dinners
Both of our schools have their own kitchen on site which caters for the children. Our school meals are very well balanced and nutritious. All our school meals are provided by Education Catering.
School meals currently cost £3.20 and must be paid for in advance via Arbor.
Universal Infant Free School Meals
All children in reception, year 1 or year 2 at a state funded school (whether maintained, academy, free or learning centre) are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) regardless of your income. You don’t need to register. You simply send your child to have lunch at school! Like other school meals, our UIFSM meet school food standards. Why miss out, especially as we could all do with saving money.
Entitlement does not apply to children in school nursery classes unless they are eligible for free school meals (FSM) for income reasons.
School Payments
The schools operate a cashless system, Arbor is used for all payments.
