Under recent government legislation, every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 is entitled to have a free school dinner. Please see the page on School Meals to view the current menu.
If your family is on low income and receiving benefits, it would still benefit you to apply for Free School Meals as you may be entitled to a range of other benefits. In addition, for each child who qualifies for benefit-related free school meals, the school receives additional funding known as Pupil Premium. This money can be used to directly support your child at school.
The letter below gives more information on these benefits. The School Office will be happy to assist you in your application.
