SCHOOL MEALS

School meal money is collected on Mondays. The money should be the correct amount and sent in an envelope for each child, clearly marked with the following details - name, class, amount and day/days of meals required. If a child is absent on Monday, or if unforeseen circumstances arise midweek, and you wish your child to stay for a dinner, money can be sent in midweek, following the above procedure.

School meals may be paid for by cheque in advance for half-term periods. Please ask at the office for details if you are interested in this method of payment.

Meal registers are closed at 10.00 a.m. each day, and parents should let us know before that time if a meal is required for a child who will be late, e.g. medical appointments. If there is any doubt as to whether a child will be coming to school after a medical or dental appointment, it may be advisable to provide a packed lunch for that day.

Children are encouraged to eat a little of everything provided for a school meal. Please let us know if for medical reasons your child us unable to eat any particular kind of food or is a vegetarian, separate arrangements can then be made with the meal service provider. Children cannot alternate between standard and vegetarian meals.

Provision is also made for pupils to eat sandwiches brought from home. These lunches should not contain sweets or chocolate bars and reflect the school’s commitment to Healthy Eating. Drinking water is provided at meal times and throughout the day. If you are providing a drink for lunchtime, it must not be sugary or fizzy, in a plastic container and not glass please.

Children whose parents are in receipt of Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance OR Child Tax Credit (WITHOUT working tax credit) with an annual income less than £14,155 are entitled to receive free school meals and milk. Forms to apply for this may be obtained from the school office or from your local benefit office. Children in receipt of free school meals are not identified as such within school.

School milk is available to all children. Parents are now given the choice of ordinary or fluoride milk for their children. The Education Authority sets the cost of this milk each term. Milk has to be ordered and paid for by the deadline at the end of the previous term and we regret that we are no longer able to process orders received after the deadline.

Foundation Stage children are entitled to free milk until their fifth birthday. The order form will reflect any charge required for the term.

Children in receipt of free school meals are also entitled to free milk. There is a section on the order form to order free school milk.

HEALTHY SNACKS AND DRINKS

We are part of the National Health Service Healthy School initiative, which provides a free piece fruit or vegetable for the Foundation and Key Stage One children every day.

All our children are encouraged to bring a piece of fruit or vegetable to eat during their morning break and a bottle of water to keep them hydrated and able to concentrate for longer periods. All snack containers and bottles need to be clearly marked with the child’s name and class.

No other snacks or drinks are permitted at breaktime.
