School Meals

We offer a full menu in school with a minimum of 2 options per day, although there are sometimes as many as 4 options available. All our meals are cooked onsite by Mrs Cranfield and we are able to cater for any allergies. Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive a free school meal funded by the government. Children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 are charged at £2.50 per meal unless they are in receipt of benefit-related free school meals. Please see the information further down the page if you believe you are eligible. 

 All school meals must be paid for in advance via bank transfer.
