School Meals
The cost of the school meal is now £2.20 per day and £11 per week. Please make sure you pay your dinner money to the class teacher on a Monday each week.
Since September 2014 there will be two free school meal schemes – universal infant free school meals (Reception, year 1 and year 2) and income related free school meals.

From September 2026 parents must reapply for FSM. There are two types of benefits-based free school meals:

Targeted free school meals are for children in families receiving Universal Credit with annual earnings of £7400 or less or another qualifying benefit.

Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

Expanded FSM entitles your child to a free school meal and Targeted FSM entitles your child to a free school meal and also additional Pupil Premium funding for school.
