Enjoy our school meals

If you would like your child to enjoy our freshly prepared school meals, you can purchase a meal through your school provided they are using our services.

Free school meals

You may be eligible for free school meals if you receive a qualifying benefit. Find out more and apply.

If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 they will automatically be eligible for free school meals under the universal infant free school meals scheme.

If you receive benefits and your child gets universal infant free school meals, you should still apply online for free school meals. This will allow your child’s school to receive extra funding that could support your child.
