School Lunches

Every child in Reception, Year One and Year Two is offered a free school meal, known as a Universal Free School Meal. Our meals are provided and cooked at The King Alfred School in Highbridge by Aspens and then transported to us daily.  If your child is not entitled to receive Universal or Free School Meals they can still purchase meals  for £2.50, to be ordered and paid for via Aspens Select.

Once your child is eligible, this will be in place until March 2025. 

To claim free school meals you must receive one of these benefits:

  • income support
  • income-based job seeker’s allowance
  • income-related employment and support allowance
  • support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • the guarantee element of state pension credit
  • child tax credit: provided you are not entitled to working tax credit (unless four week run on) and have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue and Customs) that does not exceed £16,190

Please claim for Free School Meals even if your child is entitled to Universal Free School Meals as the school is given extra funding in the form of a Pupil Premium Grant, which is used to provide additional support within the school.  Please take a look at our Pupil Premium information.
