Milk and School Lunches
If your child is joining us in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, they are entitled to a free hot lunch every day under the Government scheme called Universal Infant Free School Meals. This is different to the Free School Meals entitlement under Pupil Premium.
For children joing in Year 3, 4, 5 or 6, parents can either purchase a hot school meal from our provider, or provide a cold, healthy packed lunch. You will need to pay for the hot school meal, unless you are entitled to Pupil Premium. If you believe you may be eligible for this funding, please click the link below to apply.
Alternatively, pupils can bring in their own cold packed and healthy lunch from home.
Hot School Meals
Our hot meals are provided by our supplier, Chartwells.
To register and order meals for your child, you will need to log onto www.dorset.mealselector.co.uk
When you register your child, please ensure that you tick the box for Universal Free School Meals. Once registered, meals can be ordered for any day, week or the whole term. Amendments can be made online at any time until the cut off of midnight on the Sunday 14 days before the full week in which the meal has been served.
If a meal has not been ordered, please ensure that a lunchbox has been provided and we do not hold spare hot lunches for the children.
Please note that due to several children being severely allergic to nuts, no nuts of any kind are permitted on the premises.
