Chartwells use ParentPay online ordering system for school meals. MEALS MUST BE ORDERED NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT ON THURSDAY FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. If you require an activation code letter please contact the school office.
If you think your child is entitled to a free meal, please visit the Free School Meals Application portal to apply. Children in Foundation 2 and Years 1 and 2 are now offered free meals under the Universal Free School Meals initiative. However, if you receive qualifying benefits YOU SHOULD STILL APPLY FOR FREE SCHOOL MEALS regardless of your child’s year group.
Children may also bring their own healthy packed lunch if they wish. It should include a piece of fruit and a healthy snack bar and not contain sweets. Packed lunches must be nut free; this includes peanut butter and chocolate spreads which contain hazelnuts. Fast food such as McDonalds in lunch boxes is not permitted.

We have an excellent Midday Team who help children during lunchtimes and supervise their play.
