We have a wonderful school cook who cooks all our food from scratch and buys all our food locally – we use J&S Downings for our meat, Continental Fruit for all our fruit and vegetables and Cakes, Bakes and Shakes for our bread.

Free school meals

Children in Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2 are all entitled to a free school meal under the government universal free school meals scheme – this is to provide every child in the country with a hot meal every day.

From year 3 onwards, children whose parents are getting any of the following are entitled to free school meals:

• Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods).
• Income Support (IS).
• Income-based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA).
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (IRESA).
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit.
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, that does not exceed £16,190).
• Working Tax Credit run-on  (the payment you get for a further 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit).
