Catering
Chartwells provide our hot lunches. If you have a comment or question regarding the food provision, please contact Chartwells directly.
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free hot lunch. You do not need to register with Chartwells for this as this is ordered by the Academy. Children in receipt of pupil premium also receive hot lunches for free.
School meals are paid for through ParentPay, a link to which is available on our useful links page.
Cool Milk
Did you know our school has a school milk scheme?
By registering your child for our school milk scheme they will receive a 189ml (third of a pint) carton of semi-skimmed milk every day. This is delivered fresh and chilled to their classroom every day. Thanks to government subsidies, school milk is free for all under-fives and is subsided at around £15 a term for children aged five or older.
RegistrationIf your child is under five-
1. Go to coolmilk or pick up a form from school.
2. Just register by a Tuesday for your child’s free milk to start the following week.
3. Free milk will continue until the Friday before your child’s fifth birthday. You will receive a payment request three weeks before this time- if you wish for your child to continue to receive school milk simply make a payment.
If your child is over five-
1. Go to coolmilk or pick up a form from school.
2. Pay Cool Milk online, over the phone, at a local PayPoint or by cheque in instalments to suit you. If registering online you can pay straight away, if using a registration form you will need to wait to receive a payment request.
3. Just pay by a Tuesday for your child’s milk to start the following week.
