Autumn Term School Dinner Menu
Universal Infant Free School Meals
All meals will need to be ordered by parents via School Grid either daily, weekly or termly.
From September 2014 all pupils in reception, year 1 and year 2 in state-funded schools in England will be eligible for Universal Infant Free School Meals(UIFSMs).
All infant pupils are offered UIFSMs, but the take-up of meals is not mandatory and should you wish your child to bring a packed lunch please confirm in writing.

All meals will need to be ordered via School Grid either daily, weekly or termly. The account must be in credit to order a school dinner. Payments can be made by either card payment or by setting up a direct debit with School Grid. Please click here for the link to School Grid. No payment will be taken at school.
The cost for junior school meals is currently £2.53 per day, £12.65 per week.
Free School Meals - Infants and Juniors
Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.
Your child may also get free school meals if you get any of these benefits and your child is both:
- younger than the compulsory age for starting school
- in full-time education
