School Lunches

School Meals are currently prepared and cooked by Aspens.

  

^{Children, of course, bring their own packed lunches and we actively encourage healthy lunchboxes. Sweets and fizzy drinks are strictly off the menu!  Fruit is provided for a mid-morning snack.  Parents are asked to provide a piece of fruit for an afternoon snack.}

 

^{We are proud of our large, bright dining hall where the children can enjoy their meal in a pleasant, sociable atmosphere. They are supervised by our friendly team of Lunchtime Supervisors, who encourage the children to eat a good, healthy meal.} 

 

 

Universal Free School Meals: Year R, Year 1 and Year 2

 

^{From September 2014 every child in Reception and Key Stage 1 (Year R, Year 1 and Year 2) is entitled to a free hot school meal. The Government is funding a hot meal for all these pupils under the Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM).    If you think you may also be entitled by benefit eligibility, please do apply using the link below as this will attract pupil premium funding.}

 

Free School Meals by benefit eligibility: All Year Groups

^{From 1 September 2026, all children living in households receiving Universal Credit will be entitled to Free School Meals, regardless of earnings. This means that many more families may now qualify. If your child already receives Free School Meals you do not need to submit a new application.
Bath & North East Somerset Council will continue to review eligibility for existing FSM pupils through its established processes.}
