Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school lunch through the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme.

Can my child bring a snack for morning break?

Children may bring a healthy snack to eat at morning break. We recommend fruit as the most suitable option.

Fresh fruit is provided free of charge for all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 can purchase a school snack, such as toast. Payment for school snacks should be made through ParentPay.

Free School Meals

Some children may also be eligible for benefits-related Free School Meals.

Parents and carers are encouraged to check whether their child is eligible, even if they are currently receiving a free meal through the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme, as eligibility may also provide additional funding to support the child in school.

Further information, including eligibility criteria and how to apply, is available on the on our Pupil Premium Page.
