School Meals
Mellors Catering Services provides our school lunches.
The price of school meals is currently £2.65 per day. If you wish your child to have a school meal you will need to set up a school meal Parent Pay account. Please contact the school office.
If your child is in Reception, Y1 or Y2, they are entitled to Universal Free School Meals, however you still need to register for this.
Nursery children are not eligible for Free School Meals. For 30 hour Nursery children who stay for a school lunch payment is made directly to the school office, via cash or card.

The benefits of this are:
- Its secure; set up payments online to pay for meals
