School Meals and Free School Meals Applications
All KS1 children may have a free school dinner.
Your child just needs to ask for 'school dinner' in the morning register, as normal.
You do not need to complete any paperwork, or do anything.
If you were entitled to free school meals under the old system, please still let us know, as this gains the school more funding to make your child's education even better, or alternatively use this 'Free School Meals Checker'
