School Meals
We are proud to serve home cooked meals daily!
All of our meals are cooked on site using fresh, local produce by our catering team. Menus are available below for you to see the choice of meals offered and to help your child pick what they would like to eat.
There is always a vegetarian option provided as well as jacket potatoes, salad bar, fresh fruit and water. If your child has a special dietary need, please let us know. We will always work to adapt our menus as best as we can to accommodate all needs.
All pupils in Reception to Year 2 are entitled to universal free school meals although the option to bring a packed lunch to school remains.
Pupils in Nursery and Key Stage 2 have the option of a school lunch at a cost of £2.65 per day or bringing a packed lunch with them.
School meals need to be ordered up to 8.30am on the day using your Arbor account.
Free School Meals
The government has announced changes to the entitlement criteria for free school meals from September 2026. There are now two different types of free school meals, known as 'targeted' and 'expanded'.
Families who receive any of the following are eligible for 'targeted' free school meals:
- Universal Credit with annual household earnings of £7,400 or less
- support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- are in receipt of income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- receive the guarantee element of Pension Credit
Families in receipt of Universal Credit, with annual household earnings exceeding £7,400 will be entitled to 'expanded' free school meals.
To apply under 'targeted' or 'expanded' free school meals please apply online to Staffordshire County Council.
The difference between targeted and expanded free school meals lies in the eligibility criteria and support provided:
- Targets Free School Meals (FSM). These are available for children in households with a household income of £7,400 or less. They received additional support, including Pupil Premium funding.
- Expanded Free School Meals (FSM). These are available for children in households with a household income above £7,400. They receive a free meal only and do not qualify for Pupil Premium funding.
