School Meals and Lunchtimes
Please see below our new Spring/Summer menu starting after the Easter holidays and running through to July 2024 (even though it says Autumn Winter at the top!)
Free School Meals
If you are in receipt of income support or working tax credit then your child(ren) may be entitled to free school meals (FSM). If you think you may be eligible please visit the following website for a full list of eligibility.
As you may be aware a lot of our funding is based on a percentage of FSM. All KS1 children receive a universal free school meal provided by the Government. If you have children in KS1 and meet any of the criteria in the link above it is really important that you apply for FSM using the online form provided below.

Our School Meals Team
Collette, our school cook and Lauren, her assistant, prepare our delicious, nutritional lunches.
Mrs Joyce, Mrs Klimaytys, Mrs Mayer, Mrs Cox, Mrs Judd, Mrs Parker, Miss Day, Miss Johnson, Mrs Jones, Miss Evans and Miss Jackson look after us at lunchtime.
Our team of Mid-day Supervisors are constantly striving to find ways to make lunchtimes a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for children. They aim to promote positive play, introduce new games effectively and develop children’s play skills whilst they have fun. The MDMSA's and the Year 6 sports leaders work together to make playtimes fun and enjoyable for ALL of the children.
We have playground rules. These posters show our behaviour expectations at playtime and lunchtime.
Here are a few photos from this academic year:
Each KS2 class has a designated football day.
We have a clear set of guidelines which outline the expectations for fair play, sportsmanship, and safety during football games on the playground.
It is essential that all children familiarise themselves and agree to these guidelines to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
The children in each class sign an agreement. Click on the football above or HERE to see it.
This Social Story explains how we are expected to behave during playtime and lunchtime.
