All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a school meal under the Government’s Universal Free School Meals offer. This represents an annual saving of £400 per pupil. We expect all parents to take advantage of this generous benefit. As we are aware that children need sensitive support to try new tastes and textures, our staff are skilled in helping children to adjust to having a meal outside the home.

Our school meals are of a high standard and are cooked on site in the school kitchen by AIP. The school has a large hall, which is used as a dining room at lunchtime, where good manners are encouraged. Throughout the year, parents are invited to eat with their children, for example on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

AIP’s staff work to ensure mealtimes are pleasant occasions where children are supported to eat well. Other local schools also enjoy the quality of the food produced here, and AIP delivers meals to Lickhill Primary School, Wilden Primary School and Great Witley CE Primary School.

Please see the information below regarding free school meals. Please apply online using the link below, which will take you to the online form on the Citizen Portal. Even if you don’t think you are eligible, it is always worth a try—you never know!
