Acorns school dinners will rise from £2.50 to £2.70 per day from the start of the Spring term, in January 2025. This is the first increase since April 2022. All payments should be made via ParentPay by the Sunday before the meals are due.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 qualify for universal infants free school meals.
Children and staff bringing packed lunches to school must NOT bring any item that contains nuts or sesame as some members of our school community have serious nut and sesame allergies.

If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, they will automatically be entitled to universal infant free school meals. However, if you do meet the benefits-related free school meals eligibility criteria, then it is advised you apply to receive additional benefits:
- Holiday activities and food (HAF) programme is for children aged 4 to 16 in Reception to Year 11 in receipt of benefits-related free school meals. HAF offers eligible pupils access to activities and at least one healthy meal is provided during each session. The activities take place during the Easter, summer, and Christmas school holidays.
- Pupil premium is extra funding paid directly to schools for each pupil who is eligible for free school meals. It helps to fund valuable teaching and learning support to improve pupil’s education.
