New Lunch Menus

Please see the new menus below which will be available after Easter:-

School Meal Price Increase

Thursday 10th April 2025
Dear Family
Following many discussions between the Trust and AIP, we are writing to inform you of an upcoming change to school meal prices after the Easter holidays. Starting from Monday, 28th April, the cost of a school meal will increase to £2.65.
This adjustment reflects increases in National Insurance and the minimum wage, which have impacted overall costs. We understand the challenges that family budgets face and have worked hard to keep this increase as minimal as possible while continuing to provide nutritious and high-quality meals for our children. To further support this, we have used feedback from parents, carers and children and collaborated closely with AiP to design new menus that we hope will appeal to children’s tastes while meeting national nutritional standards. These menus are available to view on the school website and we hope you will have a look at them with your child.
We would also like to remind you that all children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 are entitled to a daily school meal, free of charge, under the Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) scheme. We strongly encourage parents of children in these year groups to take advantage of this provision. There is no requirement to register, simply book a meal using the school meal ordering system.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Yours sincerely
Mrs L Mason
