Ordering Meals
Meals can be ordered up to a term in advance through the Schoolcomms Gateway portal. We would urge you to discuss your meal choices with your child, to prevent “I don’t like this!” situations.
Please see below instructions for ordering meals.
How To Order School Lunches - Spring 2025
Reception / Key Stage 1 Meals
All children in England’s state funded schools in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school lunch. This lunch should be ordered as above – it will recognise your child is in Reception or KS1 and will not charge you for the meals. If however you are in receipt of any of the benefits outlined below in ‘Free School Meals In KS2’ please do let us know – by simply filling in a form the school can access further important pupil-premium funding.
KS2 Meals
Children’s meals are charged at £2.60 per day for pupils in KS2.
Free School Meals In KS2
A child is entitled to Free School meals in KS2 if parents/carers are in receipt of any of the following benefits:
- Income support
