Parents can take their child home for lunch, although the majority of pupils choose to stay on the school premises. Pupils staying for lunch can choose to have either a hot lunch or a packed lunch. We request that there are no cans, glass bottles, fizzy drinks or sweets in pupils’ lunch boxes. This is intended to encourage healthy eating. Any type of chocolate or nut item should also be avoided as there are pupils in school with severe nut allergies.
All children in Reception and Key Stage One will be entitled to a free school meal under the Universal Free School Meal Programme.
School meals currently cost £2.55 per day – £12.75 per week.
Any parent who has an entitlement to a free school lunch is asked to speak with a member of the office staff.
You can check your entitlement to free school meals at: https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/medway/
