Our menus are full of goodness and nutrition, and we love educating students that healthy food is delicious, through a wide variety of tasty dishes that students love to eat.

Free School Meals
Students entitled to free school meals will automatically have a set amount added to their cards each day which can then be used to purchase meals and snacks. Any amount remaining will be removed at the end of the day and a new full allocation added the following day.
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.
If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary) they’re in on 31 March.
