Respect       Resilience       Responsibility 

School lunches cost £2.60 daily. 

PLEASE HELP US TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN WITH ALLERGIES FROM THE RISKOF ANAPHYLAXIS.

Food and products where nuts of any type or quantity are listed as ingredients are strictly prohibited on the school grounds. This includes chocolate spreads (including Nutella), cereal bars and sun creams/hand lotions where nuts are listed in the ingredients.

In some cases, packaging will state the product 'may contain nuts'. This is usually due to environment that the product is made in and possible risk of contamination.  Food/products where packaging only states it 'may contain nuts' and nuts are not listed in the ingredients, can be brought into school.

Do I need to book a school meal?

• Yes. We are asking all of our parents to book their child's meal though school grid.
• During morning registration adults will check to make sure this has been ordered.

How much are school dinners and how do I pay for them?

• Our school dinners cost £2.60 a day.
• Our preference is for meals to be paid for via Parent Pay.  This means you can control the amount you have on your account and add additional amounts at anytime to suit you. 
• We politely request that there are sufficient funds on your Parent Pay account to pay for any school meals in advance of your child requesting a dinner.
• To set up a Parent Pay account or if you have any questions regarding an existing account, please contact the school office.

Is my child eligible for free school meals?

There are two schemes for free school meals:

• universal infant free school meals for all children in EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 – you do not need to apply for these meals. Children are automatically entitled to them
• free school meals for people on qualifying benefits – you will need to apply for these

You can find full details about Free School Meals and how to apply for them here.

Drinks Bottles

Children need to bring in a drinks bottle every day. This should be filled with fresh water or weak squash. Children will have access to their drinks bottle throughout the school day. This is part of our commitment to being a 'healthy school' and supporting the health and wellbeing of our children. 

Mendip Green water bottles are available for purchase from the school office.

Packed lunches

Children may bring a packed lunch to school. These should not include:

• hot/fizzy drinks
• glass containers
• food that requires reheating/cooking
• food that requires refrigerating
• chocolate bars or sweets

We ask that parents do not include nut products (nuts or any products where nuts are listed in the ingredients) in packed lunches as we have children in school with severe nut allergies.
