School Lunches

Our school kitchen provides a range of delicious and nutritious meals at lunchtimes which all pupils are able to access. Children are free to bring a packed lunch if that is a preferred option.

Dinner money is paid on a Monday each week for the meals being taken that week. Payment should be sent in a named envelope with your child or paid at the office. The weekly cost is £12.75. All pupils in Reception, Year and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal as part of the government’s scheme of Universal Infant Free School Meals.

Some families will also be entitled to a free school meal for all of their children. Income related free school meals can be given to your child in any year at school.

This includes nursery children if they attend before and after lunch at a local authority nursery school or nursery class.
