All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal. This is a decision by the Government and is called Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM). UIFSM must be applied for when your child starts school; it is the same online application as income-based free school meals (please see below for link).
Hot lunches are provided in school and we are very excited that Star Anise have been our new provider since September 2015. Star Anise also be provide a food education service to educate children in the process of producing healthy, tasty food. The education teaches children and give first-hand experience of taking local and sustainable ingredients and creating child friendly meals. The children are also taught cooking skills by the chefs in our new children’s kitchen and work with them to improve the menus on a fortnightly basis.
We encourage parents to pay for the meals online in advance via http://www.schoolmoney.co.uk (click on the logo to take you straight there). The cost is currently £2.30 per day.
Free School Meals
Parents claiming income support or job-seeker’s allowance which is income-based are encouraged to apply for free meals as receipt can mean further funding for the family and the school. Please follow this link to apply: https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-transport-and-free-school-meals/apply-for-free-school-meals/
Lunches are ordered daily at morning registration. Children can sit anywhere in the hall. There are two hot choices each day. Salad, fruit and water is served with meals. Alternatively, children can bring their own packed lunch and drink in a named and sealed container. Please NO fizzy drinks, bars of chocolate or sweets. See below for healthy ideas for lunch boxes.
All children are supervised by lunchtime supervisors both whilst eating their lunch and afterwards in the playground. During wet playtimes children are supervised in their classrooms and can choose from a selection of games generously provided by the PTFA. If children wish to go outside on a wet day and have wet weather gear in school, then this is arranged.
