We cook all our meals on site and employ the catering staff ourselves to ensure we have control over the quantity and quality of food the children eat. Connie Colinswood as our new Catering Manager and she is always keen to get feedback so she can make the meals as delicious as they can be. 

Connie and the team share a passion for ensuring the quality of our food is high, the portion sizes are right for the children, and the meals are genuinely appealing and enjoyable. Our aim is to make choosing a school meal something children look forward to.

Parents are required to pre-book their child’s meal by midday of the Monday the previous week so that food orders can be calculated, booked, delivered and prepared. Menus for each term will be shared before the start of that term.

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2

Children in these year groups receive Universal Free School Meals funded by the government. Although payment is not required, meal selections must still be made via MCAS.

Years 3 to 6

School dinners cost £2.65 per day. Orders and payments must be made through MCAS.

Free School Meals (FSM)

Your child may be entitled to Free School Meals if you (or your partner) receive any of the following:

• Universal Credit
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (without entitlement to Working Tax Credit) and an annual income of £16,190 or less, as assessed by HMRC

If you think you might be eligible, please complete the eligibility check information on the New Starter Google Form or contact the school office for a Free School Meal application form

Even if your child is in Reception, Year 1, or Year 2 and already receives universal free meals, we still ask you to apply if you meet the above criteria, as it provides the school with additional funding to support your child’s education.

Packed Lunches

While we encourage all children to enjoy our nutritious school dinners, we understand that some families may prefer to send in a packed lunch.

Children in Key Stage 1 & 2 (Years 1–6) should place their named lunchbox on the classroom trolley outside each morning.

Children in Penguins, Puffins, and Swans (Early Years) take their lunchbox directly into their classroom.

Please ensure packed lunches are healthy and nut-free due to allergy concerns.
