Each day School Meals are prepared by 'Cleverchefs' staff in our on-site kitchen.

Meals are provided free of charge for Infant pupils (Reception to Year 2). For Junior pupils (Years 3 to 6), meals are available at a cost of £2.75 per day.

All school meals must be ordered via your MCAS app

Orders must be placed by Sunday for the following week, although meals may be booked in advance up to the end of the half term.

If a meal has not been pre-ordered, parents/carers are kindly asked to ensure that their child brings a packed lunch to school on that day.

 

Free School Meals for KS2 Children

Registering for free meals could raise an extra £1,320 for your child’s school known as Pupil Premium, to fund valuable support like extra tuition, additional teaching staff or after school activities.  This additional money is available from central government for every child whose parent is receiving one of the welfare benefits listed below and the funding remains in place for 6 years even if you later stop claiming benefits. It is therefore important to sign up for free school meals, so that your child’s school receives as much funding as possible to invest in the education of your children.

Free school meals are available to pupils in receipt of, or whose parents are in receipt of, one or more of the following benefits:

• Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guarantee element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

We are not allowed to recognise any other benefit other than those mentioned above.

Should you feel you might qualify, please contact the School Office for an application form (or download and print the one below) and return this with your proof of entitlement (original up to date copies must be produced, we are unable to authorise for free school meals without the necessary paperwork).

You only need to complete this form once and it will last for the duration of your child’s time at their current school.  Therefore, if you believe you may be eligible, please do complete the form, as you will be helping to make sure your child’s school is as well funded as possible.
