School Meals

All Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children are entitled to a free meal at lunchtime. This is called “Universal Free School Meals”. We encourage all of our children to access a hot meal at lunchtime as a way to try a broad range of healthy foods as well as to develop social skills. We will assist you as best we can with any children who are reluctant to eat/try new foods. Please see School Meals Tab under the "Parents" heading of the website for menus and further information.
