School Meals

Our school meals are cooked on the premises and are well balanced, nutritious and of a high standard. There is an excellent choice of meat (Halal & non-Halal) and vegetarian dishes. Meals can be paid for on a termly, half-termly or weekly basis. Dinner money must be paid online using the School Money payment system.

If any child wishes to change from packed lunch to school dinner or vice versa, parents must speak to Mrs Amjed in the school office before a change can be made. Children having a packed lunch are encouraged to bring a healthy choice of food and avoid crisps and chocolates to keep in line with healthy meals in schools policies. Food containing nuts must not be included in a packed lunch.

• Income support
• Income-based jobseeker's allowance
• Income-related employment and support allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is extra funding from the Government given to schools to raise the achievement of disadvantaged pupils. The amount a school receives depends on the number of pupils eligible for free school meals.

Parents are therefore encouraged to register their children, even if:

• They do not want to eat school meals
• They already receive universal infant free school meals.

This is in order to raise extra money for the school, which can be used towards extra tuition, additional teaching staff, school visits or after school activities.
