Lunchtimes and Tuck

School lunches are supplied by SIPS Catering. We would prefer parents to order and pay in advance on Parent Pay. (A link is available at the top right of this page). We advise this is done on a Sunday for the whole week and then parents will know what their child will be eating. Meals are priced at £2.60 a meal (subject to price increases).

 

Universal Free School Meals

 

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are eligible for a Universal Free School meal each day.

Free School Meals

 

Other children may also qualify for free school meals if their families are in receipt of certain benefits. These benefits include:

  • Income support
  • Universal credit (with a household net income of less than £7,400 a year)
  • Job seekers allowance- income related only
  • Pension credit
  • Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • Child Tax Credit only- with an annual income of less than £16,190

If you think you may be eligible, please ask for an application form from the school. Any enquiry will be treated in the strictest confidence. Should you be eligible for this service but not wish to take it up, we still need to know. Again, we do assure you that this information is strictly confidential.
