SCHOOL MEALS

All our meals are prepared fresh on-site each day by our Kitchen Team, led by Mark Wade.  As well as the hot meal choices, children also have the choice of the salad bar.  The cost of school meals are £2.60 daily, £13.00 weekly, which are payable in advance using your online School Money account.  Children in classes R to year 2 receive the universal free school meal.  Children in years 3 to 6 have to pay for meals through their child's School Money online account, unless you qualify for free school meals. 

Please note that when sausages are on the menu, these are either pork or chicken sausages, dependant on the child's dietary requirements from their application form.  If you are unsure, please ring the office to check. Thank you

Please note that due to deliveries, the kitchen may occasionally have to change meals at short notice.  If this happens, the meal substituted will be from the menus advertised.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

From your admission forms, the details you give regarding your child's dietary requirement are added to your child's records.  You are able to check on the parent app 'Arbor' any dietary requirements we have recorded for your child.  You are able to change yourself, or contact the school office if you prefer.  Thank you.

Free School Meals & Universal Free School Meals

If you think you could qualify for free school meals, you will need to make a direct application using the government website www.kent.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals  Your eligibility will be checked and your application processed straight away, you will be informed of the decision immediately.  If your application is successful, the school will be notified by email and your child will start receiving their free school meal.

Universal free school meals are for children in years Reception to year 2.  This entitles your child to a free meal whilst in school until they finish in year 2.  We encourage all parents/carers to apply online, regardless of the year group your child is in.

Please see the government kent.gov website for more information (as above).

If you have any queries, please contact the school office and speak to Karen.  Many thanks.
