Universal Infant Free School Meals

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals. We will automatically register children for a meal. However, parents should still register with the Online ordering service and choose their child's preferred menu option. Menu Option 5 meals will automatically be provided for children if an alternative meal is not ordered.

Free School Meals

Please do not forget to register with the school if you believe you are entitled to Free School Meal entitlement. This is different to the Universal Infant Free School Meal programme. Please contact the school office for further information and guidance.
