From September 2023, all pupils in Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 will be entitled to free school meals.

School meals are prepared on the premises each day. The price is £2.20 per day for all pupils. 

The menus are on a three week rotation. This ensures variety with a focus on fresh fruit, vegetables and salads. Due to our commitment to healthy eating, our ingredients have reduced saturated fat, sugar and salt. All foods are baked or steamed, except chips which are only served once a week. Fresh fruit, wholemeal bread, yoghurt, cheese and biscuits, ice cream, semi-skimmed milk and water are also available daily.  You can view the current menu and top up your cashless catering account here: www.bridgend.gov.uk/residents/schools-and-education/school-meals/

When you make a payment to your child's dinner money account, it can take up to 24 hours to show up on our system, therefore we recommend always topping up your child's account a few days before it runs out.  You will get an email reminding you of your child's balance on a Friday afternoon or we can check a balance for you in the school office.

If you prefer, your child may bring a healthy packed lunch.

Please inform the school immediately if your child has any food allergies so that we can implement a unique menu for them. We will also need a letter from a GP/Dietician.

Parents who receive certain benefits are entitled to free meals for the children.  You can apply for FSM online here: https://www.bridgend.gov.uk/residents/schools-and-education/grants-for-pupils/free-school-meals-fsm/ alternatively application forms can be obtained from the school office.

BREAKTIMES SNACKS & DRINKS

To encourage healthy eating we encourage children to bring a fruit snack for their morning break. Sweets, crisps or chocolate are not permitted.

Every child should also bring a water bottle to school every day. We ask that parents fill it for them daily and that the bottle is washed every evening. Children can top up their bottles during the day using the school’s cold-water machine.

MILK SCHEME

Free milk is offered to all pupils in PS1 and PS2.  Non-dairy, plant based milk can be provided at the school’s discretion - please contact the school office for more information.
