Catering

School Meals are provided by KCC outside caterers Caterlink. A menu can be found at the end of this section.

The cost of a meal is £2.80 per meal from 1st September 2024. This must be paid in advance. The office is now cashless so please make payments via Arbor.

The Governments free school meal scheme provides all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 with a free school meal each day. 

However, if you think you may be entitled to Free School Meals (see below) we urge you to apply for this. Entitlement to this informs the Government for Pupil Premium funding and enables the school to provide many more facilities for your child. Information on individual pupils is not published either publicly or in school. Children who do not have Free School Meals entitlement are not barred from any activities or facilities as a result.

There is also a survey that parents are welcome to complete available from the link below.
