Free School Meals

Free School Meals (FSM) make it easy for everyone to enjoy healthy, tasty food at school every day.

If eligible, the allowance is added automatically to the student’s account, so meals can be chosen just like everyone else — no separate queue, no extra steps at the till.

With Free School Meals, there’s plenty to enjoy:

A hot main meal and dessert of the day, or
A mix of StreetVibes and Chill Deal options
Breakfast and breaktime items are also available within the FSM allowance, so you don’t miss out
Lots of other tasty options

Please note: All FSM students receive a daily allowance of £2.65. This can be used for a hot main meal and dessert at lunchtime, or for breakfast and breaktime items.

If your child would like additional items, you will need to top up their ParentPay account

Packed Lunches

We encourage our students to eat a balanced and healthy diet. The Lunchtime Company offers a range of healthy, delicious meals. However, should your child prefer to bring a packed lunch, here are some guidelines we would appreciate you following:

Packed lunches should include:

At least one portion of fruit and one portion of vegetables
A carbohydrate food such as granary bread, pasta, or potato salad.
Dairy food such as milk, cheese, yogurt or custard.
Meat, fish or other sources of non-dairy products.
Drinks should be water, still or sparkling, fruit juice, semi-skimmed milk, yogurt, milk drinks, or smoothies.

An example of a healthy lunch may look like this: tuna or ham salad sandwich, breadsticks with a hummus dip, cucumber or carrot batons, apple, yogurt, and a bottle of flavoured water.

Healthy guidance for packed lunches:

An alternative to snacks such as crisps could be seeds, vegetables, or fruit. Savoury crackers or breadsticks served with fruit or vegetables are also a good choice.
Confectionery such as chocolate bars and sweets are to be avoided. Cakes and biscuits should only be eaten as part of a balanced meal.
Try to avoid processed meal products such as sausage rolls, individual pies, corned meat, and sausages/chipolatas where possible.
Fizzy drinks or energy drinks are not allowed at School at all.

Allergen Safety

All our dishes include full ingredient and allergen information, and all pre-packaged items are clearly labelled with the 14 major allergens. An allergen matrix is available at the serving point so students can check choices quickly and easily.

We also have strict procedures in place to prevent cross-contamination, ensuring food is prepared safely. For anyone requiring more information or support, our friendly Allergen Buddies are always on hand to answer questions.
We recognise that some students may require special diets that do not exactly comply with Health In Education standards. In this case, we urge you to be responsible for ensuring that packed lunches are as healthy as possible.

For the reasons above, we ask that students do not share or swap food items
