SCHOOL MEALS
From January 2026 we are proud to partner with Apetito who will serve delicious, nutritious school meals to our children and staff at lunchtime.
We offer children a hot menu at lunchtime which is nutritionally balanced, varied and designed to cater for all tastes and needs across the school. Children who prefer a packed-lunch option are welcome to bring one from home.
All children from Reception to Year 2 are entitled to a free school lunch under the Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme (UIFSM).
Children in Nursery, who stay all day, can also choose a school meal at a cost of £2.75 per meal.
Children in Years 3 to Year 6, who are not entitled to benefit-related free school meals, will be charged £3.55 per meal.
Food Allergies and Lifestyle Choices
Children with diagnosed food allergies, or those who avoid certain foods for religious or lifestyle reasons, must order their school meal in advance from home, so parents can ensure their child's needs are catered for.
We are pleased to be able to offer the children the flexibility to have a school lunch or home packed lunch any day of the week.
School meals should be ordered in advance on the Arbor Parent Portal. They can be ordered weekly, or termly for convenience. Payment for your child's meals can be made on the Arbor Parent Portal. We ask that you keep your child's dinner money account topped-up wherever possible to avoid going into debt.
If you have not already registered for online payments and app messages please either:
- download the Arbor app from your app store onto either your Android smart phone or iPhone. This will enable the school to send you messages for free.
- You can also make payments online by visiting https://arbor-education.com/
If you have any problems registering or making payment please contact the school – we will be happy to help you. Arbor will give you details of meals taken and payment made including what you currently owe/how much credit you have.
If you are unable to make payments via the Arbor, please contact the office.
