We believe that school meals represent the best option in terms of contributing to a healthy diet. This is by comparison to other sources of food available to children for their midday meal such as a packed lunch. If your child attends school full time and you are claiming Child Benefit for them you may be able to apply for free school meals.
You can apply for free school meals up to two months before your child starts school. Please do not apply more than two months before your child starts school or you will have to reapply later.

Funds can be added via ParentPay, our online payment platform. The cost of a school lunch is £2.60 per child.

Follow these steps to top up your child’s balance:
1. Log in to ParentPay.
2. Select your child’s name and click ‘Pay for Meals’.
3. Enter the amount and add to your basket.
4. Click the trolley icon and proceed to checkout.
5. Choose ‘Other Payment Method’ and enter your card details.
6. Click ‘Review Payment’ and then ‘Pay Now’.
7. Check your email for confirmation from platform@parentpay.com.
Pupils are welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. We encourage healthy choices, such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and wholegrain foods, to support their learning and wellbeing throughout the day. Please do not send fizzy drinks or glass bottles / containers.
If your child has any dietary requirements or allergies, please inform the school so we can make suitable arrangements. Please be aware of allergies of other pupils and follow and guidance you get from school about what food can be brought in from home.
