School Dinners

All children in Year 2, Year 1 or the Reception Class are able to have a school dinner at no cost. This is not compulsory and children can still bring a packed lunch if they wish.

For children in KS2, the cost of school meals is £2.20 per day, payable in advance via the Parent Pay system.

Free School meals are provided when parents/carers meet certain eligibility criteria. If a parent meets the qualifying criteria for Free School Meals this can raise extra funding for our school.

If you receive certain benefits, we need you to complete a form for Free School Meals whether you want your child to have a hot meal or bring their own lunch.

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you receive any of the following:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Please contact the school office for further details.
