Universal Free School Meals (Reception – Year 2)
Free school meals are available for ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. This is due to a Government Policy which was introduced. When your child starts Year 3 you will start to be charged for their school lunches unless you decide to provide them with a packed lunch.
Children must remain on either hot dinners or packed lunch for the duration of a whole half term. Children cannot swap and change their minds without prior acknowledgement from the school office.
All payments for hot dinners must be done through our Parent Pay system. Hot dinners are at a cost of £11.00 per week. Please make regular weekly payments so your account does not fall into arrears. If you have problems accessing Parent Pay, please ask at the school office for assistance.
School Meals (Years 3 – 6)
Children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 can access a hot school meal at a cost of £2.20 per day, £11.00 per week. However, there will be parents of children in Years 3 – 6 who are eligible for Free School Meals. Eligibility and applications for this are to be made via the Liverpool City Council website: https://liverpool.gov.uk/benefits/free-school-meals/ You must inform school if you are eligible for Free School Meals so that you are not charged via Parent Pay for your child’s school lunches. (School does not always get notified immediately by the Council and it can take a number of weeks to appear on the FSM list we receive from them).
All payments for school dinners must be paid via Parent Pay in advance of your child receiving them. Please make regular weekly payments so your account does not fall into arrears. If you have any problems accessing Parent Pay please ask at the school office for assistance – 0151 522 5748.
All children must remain on either hot dinner or packed lunch for a whole half term. Children cannot swap and change without prior acknowledgement from the school office. If your child wishes to change to either hot dinner or packed lunch please speak to the school office.
