School Meals

School Meals are available from the kitchen. They are cooked on site by our Cook and her team.

For children in EYFS 2 or Years 1 and Year 2 there is no charge for a hot school meal as these are subsidised under the Government's Universal Free School Meal scheme.

For children in KS2 meals can be purchased at a current cost of  £3.00 per day from April 2026.

All school meal payments can be made online at Arbor.

Information on claiming free school meals can be found here.

Snacks from the Kitchen

To comply with new regulations, we will not be selling morning snacks from the kitchen. However, children are able to bring in their own HEALTHY Snack for morning break. Please do not send chocolate or crisps.

Please note that we will continue to provide the free milk for the children in Early Years and KS1, as well as the free fruit for snacks for the children in these year groups.

School Meals Booking System

From September 2025 all meals will be booked via Arbor.  Please ensure that your child/children's accounts are topped up.

What if my child has a medical condition such as an allergy or intolerence?

Edsential, who provide school meals at High Street have recently reviewed their policy in relation to managing allergies and intolerances.

Edsential takes its responsibilites for providing high quality food, that is safe to eat, very serviously.

The business is comitted to fulfilling all legal obligations, to reduce the risks to our customers and service users, with regards to the provision of food and all the consumption of allergens which could lead to an allergic reaction.  This includes all statutory guidance and best practices published by the Food standards agencies. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/food-standards-agency

The business understands that the successful implementation of this updated policy requires teamwork and the commitment and support of parents, education establishments, Edsential HQ and our Catering Teams.  Where Edsential processes cannot be confirmed, the catering teams are directed to provide a fail-safe meal.  Our fail-safe meal consists of jacket potato, a suitable approved topping, a suitable approved side salad, a piece of fresh fruit (apple) and a glass of water.

Therefore, in order for Edsential to cater for your child's allergy/intolerance safely they require a medical letter from a health professional (this can be in the form of a hospital referral letter/allergy clinic care plan or downloaded from their medical records via the NHS app)

Please can you inform the school office of any new food allergies and provide us with a letter as above.
