Our healthy and nutritious lunches are cooked using fresh ingredients on our school site by our Catering Team.
We have a Catering Operations Manager from The School Lunch Company who oversees and ensures that all food produced meets the Governmental Nutritional Standards as well as the Food Based Standards.
If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 you do not have to pay for your child’s school meal as you qualify for the Universal Infant Free School Meal. You may also qualify for a Free School Meal if you meet the criteria.
How to apply for Free School Meals
If you feel your child is entitled to Free School Meals, you must apply by completing an application form. You only have to apply once. Oxfordshire County Council will check your entitlement against information held by the Department for Education on a regular basis so that you don’t have to renew your application every year or provide proof of your entitlement.
After you have completed your application you will receive an email to confirm your eligibility, you can then bring this into the school office as proof of your entitlement. Oxfordshire County Council will also send out a notification to us here at school confirming your child’s FSM and Pupil Premium eligibility.
