School Lunches

All children in Foundation and Key Stage 1 are entitled to free school meals. However, Parents/ Carers must complete the form, which can be downloaded using the link below, to ensure pupil premium funding is allocated to the school.

If you think you are entitled to free school meals, you need to apply to Somerset Council online as soon as possible, as it can take some time to process and is not backdated. (A copy of the form can be downloaded using the link below.) If you require help in completing this form, please pop into the office.

Packed Lunches

If your child has a packed lunch, please provide a labelled lunchbox and put the drink in a plastic container (no glass bottles). We are committed to healthy eating, we do not allow sweets, chocolates, or fizzy drinks.

Nut-Free Policy

We are a “nut-free” school due to students with life-threatening nut allergies. We do not include nuts in any food prepared on-site.

Please can you help us to protect these children by being vigilant when providing your child with a packed lunch?

Our “Nut-Free Policy” means that the following items should not be brought into school:

  • Packs of nuts
  • Peanut butter  sandwiches
  • Pinenuts
  • Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts
  • Chocolate spread/chocolate products that contain nuts, e.g., Nutella
  • Sesame seed bread/rolls (children allergic to nuts may also have a severe reaction to sesame)
  • Cakes made with nuts

 I thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. 

Popcorn

Please do not send your child to school/nursery with popcorn in their lunchbox, as they are a choking hazard for children under five. Popcorn is a hard food that can easily get stuck in a child’s throat.

Milk Scheme

Every child in our School is offered low-fat milk every day. If your child is lactose intolerant, please do not hesitate to contact the office to discuss alternatives. 

Cool Milk – Under 5 Free Milk Provider

Free milk is available for all children under five in school, funded by the UK government. In our school, the milk is provided by Cool Milk, the UK’s leading school milk supplier. We will register your child for their free school milk on your behalf once permission is obtained on the Parental Consent Form by providing Cool Milk with the information listed above.

School fruit and vegetable scheme (Government Scheme)

This entitles all the children, including Nursery, to be offered a piece of fruit at break time every day.
