Free School Meals

Discover delicious, nutritious meals served daily in our school dining hall. Our dedicated kitchen team prepares a variety of tasty options, ensuring every student can choose meals that suit their taste and dietary needs. From vegetarian dishes to halal options and allergy-aware meals, we’re committed to providing wholesome, energy-boosting lunches that support learning and growth. Our school cook works closely with the teachers to offer themed days to enhance the curriculum, e.g. French Day where french food was served to the children.

Meals cost £2.90 and paid for through The Arbor App

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are eligible for Free School Meals, however if you meet the criteria for Free School Meals (please see below) it is essential that you apply.
