School Meals

Our School Meals are cooked on site and our provider is Aspens. Below is the current school meals menu. School meals are free for children in Year R, 1 and 2. Children in Ark Nursery, Years 3,4,5 and 6 can pay for school meals using ParentPay.


Free school meals during the COVID-19 outbreak

If you are a family who did not previously qualify for free school meals but whose income has reduced or stopped due to the coronavirus crisis, you may now qualify based on your new financial circumstances, to receive free school meals while schools are closed.

We encourage all parents and carers who have not yet applied for free school meals to apply, if you think you may now qualify.

Our kitchen is open, so we will arrange for you to receive a large weekly food hamper, if you are eligible and access to meals.

You only need to apply once for each child. If you are found to be eligible you will be notified.

If you are a family who previously received free school meals for your child then you should still be receiving these from us, unless these are Universal Free School Meals for EYFS-Year 2, in which case you will need to register.
