Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own
School dinners are provided by Aspens and cost £2.75 per day, for Key stage 2 children and £2.53 for Pre-School Children
All Key Stage 1 children are entitled to free school meals.
You may be entitled to free school meals, even if you decide not to take advantage of this every day - speak to the school office for more details
Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:
If you have a child in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and your family income is less than £16,190, please call Cambridgeshire County Council’s education welfare benefits team on 01223 703 200 or apply online at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals to ensure that we receive the Pupil Premium for your child.
Also, if you have an older child who is not currently having free school meals, but would be eligible, please do apply.
Schools in Cambridgeshire currently receive less money per pupil from the government than any other education authority in Cambridgeshire, so any additional funding is really beneficial to our pupils.
You are eligible if you are in receipt of the following:
All pupils in Reception, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme.
Parents should encourage their children to eat a healthy packed lunch. Fizzy drinks, sweets, crisps, chewing gum and chocolate are not permitted.
As there are currently children in school with nut allergies, it would be appreciated if chocolate spread, peanut butter or packets of nuts were not included in your child’s packed lunch.
Lunch boxes should be clearly labelled with the child’s name and class
As a healthy mid-morning snack, we encourage children to bring fruit (fresh or dried) or raw vegetables (no sweets, chewing gum or crisps please). Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 pupils are provided – free of charge – with a portion of fruit or vegetable each day.
For younger children, where parents wish to provide the mid-morning snack themselves, it is recommended that it is prepared for easy eating and stored in a small plastic container. Children are encouraged to drink water throughout the day.
Drinking water is available on tap in every classroom. It is recommended that every child brings in an individual, labelled water bottle.
